That's the definition of conflict of interest! You can't sell tech to the candidates and the election at the same time.

You definitely can. AWS does it. NGP VAN does it. Every contractor that the DNC uses does it. To believe that they don't is the kind of ignorance that leads to anti-vaccine conspiracy theories and your own conspiracy theory.
There's a difference between AWS and a tiny startup, the CEO of which is married to one of the top advisors of a the Buttigeig campaign. At this point, this conversation doesn't really matter as it's been widely accepted as a conflict of interested and condemned.

Citation needed. The only people this has been widely accepted among are conspiracy theorists.
