I got general sense that Zuckerberg and also Brin aren't particularly anti-tax, that they don't particularly love it being increased but do admit, agree that there are some things even a lot of things the government needs to do and pay to do. Amazon directly selling and delivering products certainly feels like a very different kind of big tech company than most others.

A conservative (though nationalist-populist-conservative) increasing taxes that much certainly feels a bit weird. As does liberal criticism when the position from them has historically been that tax increases aren't terrible and increased tax revenue is really really good and needed. A good example of how Trump has really bypassed, at least really reshaped, traditional conservative/liberal divide (and onward neither liberals nor conservatives will, despite complaining, want to, may not be able to give up the revenue).
