Actually he’s a deeply terrible person. Even outside of swallowing up and destroying competition and pushing monopolistic business practices, he was a tyrant to work for, treated everyone around him like shit, sexually harassed multiple women, and has ties to Jeffrey Epstein...

Wow. I had no idea. I'm sure you're right, I don't really follow US media very well. I just remember seeing him give a cool gift during secret santa on reddit and thinking "Huh this guy actually turned out okay".

Some of them might talk the “fiscally conservative, socially liberal” talk, but that’s becoming more and more rare. People like Marc Andreesen, Peter Thiel, Musk, Bezos, Zuck, et al are deeply terrifying, and are openly espousing racist and eugencist beliefs.

Hmm ok, I thought it was more liberal there. Especially because I've heard it's a good and inclusive workplace etc. But like I said, I'm not very aware of the US so I stand corrected. Thank you.
