It’s the win at any cost mindset with the post hoc rationalization that intelligent people can do with politics being utterly corrupt to stop this mess. We should really get money out of politics. SV is the new iteration of “Absolute power corrupts absolutely”. These tech guys have way too much money and power. You’d think they cured cancer or something instead of capturing attention and showing ads.
More like the people in power protecting his ass are about to be replaced and he is scared. See Circulation of the Elites. There is always some group somewhere trying to co-opt the system. Short term buying ppl works. Long term it doesnt. Through out human history.
