    I mean the Koch brothers walked so these goons could run. They literally started the trend of using dark money in politics. The book Dark Money is about THEM.

    I don’t see a reason to place oligarchs in a hierarchy, they’re all trash.

      Many humans are fucking hot garbage (I mean that in the double entendre) and are basically so focused on their competition and their legacy that wealth doesn’t mean anything for them. And so many other shitty humans want nothing more than to be in that position because there’s some genetic wiring for some people that their best feeling is being better than someone else, and now that’s taken to the extremes we see today.

        I don’t think Musk is capable enough. In fact I would challenge or even triple dog dare Musk to not use any security from here on out. I know he won’t because he’s not man enough.

    What I’d like to know is was Andreesen always this much of an asshole?

    I knew he went VC and figured he was at least kinda douchey, but I didn’t follow his arc since the 90s where most of us just knew him as the guy that worked on Mosaic and founded Netscape…
