To be blunt: I think VCs and founders are getting into a hustle-porn wagon-circling formation around someone they uncritically admire and think represents them as a whole. It's not optimism, it's tribalist closing of ranks.

I’m sure there is plenty of that. But you can see this behavior in similar situations where the founder is not famous. It’s simply the nature.

Yes, both tend to be more optimistic in general. I'm just saying optimism is not what explains the results of this specific poll.
