They were good in the opposition to Biden, now they have lost all credibility. They were sympathetic to the Greenland and other annexation plans. Chamath appeared on Tucker Carlson, garnered sympathy with various sob stories but then gently pushed his agenda to the MAGA crowd.

No wonder Musk wants to deregulate everything. Regulation interferes with the telemedicine, gut bacteria powders and various other nonsense that these gentlemen invest in.

The (deliberate?) chaos that Trump/Musk create provides great opportunities for those in the know.






I'm amazed that the "Spac King" is not part of the administration.

I watched Chamath call in live to a spac scammers live stream. This scammer drove a beater and would pump various spac warrants on his way home from the warehouse job on twitch.

I was like wtf is a former FB executive doing showing up on this scammer live stream.


That’s insane lol. Is there a clip of that? Can you provide more context?

I don't have a clip but it was in the height of the spac pump and dump craze taking place on reddit during the pandemic. The scam was buy up a bunch of warrants then release info that you had knowledge of an upcoming deal.

This particular scammer got lucky on one of his spacs when it actually made a deal and from that he made quite the following.

Chamath used this guy to pump his spacs because if the spac was pumping before there was even a deal it was easier for him to make the deal.

I think all of Chamaths spacs are penny stocks now with multiple reverse splits to stay above $1.

Edit: Except for SOFI the one good deal he made.


The only chaos I've seen is radical far left democrats telling people to take it to the streets.

You probably need to read back a few weeks on pretty much every agency with grants being in chaos, then. It's a good thing a judge shut that down relatively quickly.

There is stock market volatility due to short lived tariff announcements.

Only insiders know to what extent the strategic reserve currency scam will go through and whether to hold or sell.

There was a meme coin scam for insiders.

All these create volatility that could be exploited by front runners.
