This is Who the Tech Wonder Boys Always Were
These are not good people. They do not bat an eye at facilitating a mental health epidemic, hurting millions of people with reckless foreign aid cuts, destroying our media ecosystem, or even abetting genocide. Any tent able to accommodate their outsized egos and influence will have no room for the common good or basic human decency.
