Jack Dorsey maxes out donations to Tulsi Gabbard presidential bid

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey donated the maximum legal amount to Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s 2020 presidential campaign. 

He gave $2,800 to the Hawaii Democrat in June, a Federal Election Commission (FEC) filing shows. 

Dorsey is also the chief executive of microblogging website Square, which he listed as his employer. 

{mosads}Dorsey also contributed $1,000 to former tech executive Andrew Yang in March, according to an FEC filing. 

A Twitter spokesman declined to comment, saying the company does not comment on personal giving. 

The Hill has also reached out to the Gabbard campaign and Square for comment. 

Dorsey’s contribution comes at a time when big tech faces scrutiny from both sides of the aisle. Candidates including Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) are among those who have called for the break up of major technology companies such as Facebook.

Politico reported that Gabbard is among those who have advocated Facebook’s breakup.  

President Trump and his allies, meanwhile, have accused social media giants of minimizing conservative voices. 

Gabbard is among more than two dozen people vying for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
