Former PayPal President David Marcus said he has completed “a gradual political 180” and is now backing the Republican Party and Donald Trump.
Marcus led PayPal from 2012 to 2014 before he became Facebook’s vice president of Messaging Products, a position he held until 2019 when he headed up a program to develop Facebook’s cryptocurrency capabilities. The tech executive left Facebook at the end of 2021, and a year later, co-founded L.A.-based financial tech company Lightspark.
