    You know what word has been abused like crazy? "Veteran" Every reporter with five years experience is now a "veteran journalist." Every new hire at a company is now a "veteran executive." Every operative is now a "veteran strategist." I stand athwart history, yelling Stop.

    This is a great interview & well worth reading to understand how a thoughtful, data driven conservative thinks about the world. I'm biased bec 's one of my close buddies, but not that biased since we actually disagree a lot on policy (I'm a moderate)

    Gavin Newsom's weightlifting buddy on the Silicon Valley-Newsom relationship —>

    Replying to @teddyschleifer
    Many tech leaders are passionately for the gov yet were apathetic until nearly the end about the recall. Just perceived as an utter waste of time not worthy of attention until it was.

    Billionaire Joe Lonsdale on whether we should worry about the influence of billionaires in public life, like Bill Gates: “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the fact that if you’re a really good builder, people listen to you more.”

    A few people with very large followings beat the recall drum very loudly. They got under the skin of people like Ron Conway, who organized tech leaders against it. Were those leaders passionate about Newsom? Not at all. Barely donated. But they were a majority of the industry.

    If you thought that Silicon Valley by and large wanted to get rid of Gavin Newsom, you are spending way too much time on this dear website.

    Canva CEO : “It has felt strange when people refer to us as “billionaires” as it has never felt like our money, we’ve always felt that we’re purely custodians of it.“

    The Met Gala started as a charitable endeavor. It evolved into something ostentatious and over the top, which it has been for many years. A major event for celebrities and NYC elites? Absolutely. But it is not a stellar example of giving back.

    The first sentence of this answer from Joe Lonsdale in 's interview with him is something that is far more prevalent in political/charitable advocacy than we readily acknowledge.

    Here's the final tally on how much major tech donors spent on the Gavin Newsom recall. Really not as much tech money as you'd think — on either side.
