Revealed: The Billionaires Pouring Big Bucks Into The Election
Most of the obscenely #wealthy and obnoxiously #loud #tech #bros you see turning up to Trump’s beat have enormous financial stakes in companies
-- whose business activities include either participating in or indirectly enabling things that the laws of the United States currently forbid.
Things like #laundering money for fentanyl dealers,
helping Vladimir #Putin evade sanctions,
running telehealth pill mills for #controlled #substances,
and ensuring #North #Korea has continual access to sufficient capital for its nuclear weapons program
-- all set against a backdrop of alleged securities #fraud and good old fashioned #embezzlement on a scale the world hasn’t seen since 1928.
Over 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

The reason Silicon Valley billionaires at firms like a16z and Sequoia Capital suddenly decided to back Donald Trump is not a mystery.Michel de Cryptadamus (The Cryptocalypse Chronicles)
I mean, if an EU citizen’s initiative to tax the rich cannot get a paltry 1 million signatures (less than one quarter of one percent of the population), I guess we really must deserve this bullshit system.
You still have five days, sign this ffs:
