> The fact that his donation was so small makes it much worse in my opinion. That indicates that the primary intent was to make a public, symbolic statement on the matter.

Making a donation is a pretty ridiculous way to try to make a public, symbolic statement on the matter. It relies on someone taking advantage of the election disclosure laws to get a list of donors, then going over the list of donors, then picking him out of the list of thousands of donors, and then calling public attention to that.

He's not the Robot Devil. If he wanted to make a public, symbolic statement on the matter, wouldn't he simply tweet, or use Facebook, or blog about it?

Yeah, you're right. Really bizarre move by him given the makeup of Bay Area tech.
