The people who create the social media technology that Donald Trump loves to use don't love him back, CNBC reports.

According to a 14-month study, a total of $190,500 was donated by employees of Twitter and Facebook to Trump and Hillary Clinton, and Clinton was on the receiving end of 98 percent of those donations.

According to CNBC:

• Clinton: 349 supporters totaling $187,100
• Trump: three supporters totaling $3,400

"You have this guy who's an incredibly aggressive social media user but doesn't have any other points of resonance or commonality with the people who are creating the technology," Paul Holland, general partner at a Silicon Valley venture firm, told CNBC.

Clinton scores a huge lead with donations from employees at internet companies as well, $1.5 million vs. $13,300 for Trump, CNBC reports.

Trump does have the advantage over Clinton in terms of followers on social media:

• Trump: 10.6 million Twitter followers; 10.1 million Facebook fans
• Clinton: 8.1 million Twitter followers; 5.3 million Facebook fans
