Chuck DarwinOver the past few months there has been a lot of rending of media garments over the fact that a group of #billionaires from the usually-assumed-to-be-far-left San Francisco area
💥 suddenly decided to go all in for Trump.
“Oh billionaires, oh billionaires, why hast thou forsaken us?”was the refrain across all manner of podcasts, think pieces, and posts on The Privatized Public Square.
What seemed to go unmentioned, however, was the fact that these were not just regular tech bro billionaires.
These were #crypto #bro billionaires.
And not only were they publicly endorsing Trump, they had assembled what is currently the
🔥single largest pool of money being deployed to influence the upcoming American election
You will notice that the crypto bro’s Orwellian “Fairshake PAC” has raised more money than the Make America Great Again PAC (and has way, way, way more money left to spend).
Frustratingly (at least for me) no one outside a small group of sceptics and a handful of journalists seemed to have noticed either the important tech bro/crypto bro distinction3 or the enormous pile of money they had assembled4.
Or rather no one besides a small group of sceptics and Mark Cuban
