> "I'm telling you a very hard ugly truth," Palihapitiya said during a debate with his co-hosts about human rights. "Of all the things that I care about, it is below my line."
Palihapitiya is the founder and CEO of Social Capital and part owner of the Golden State Warriors.
"You bring it up because you really care, and I think that's nice that you care, the rest of us don't care," he told fellow host Jason Calacanis.
- quantified 5y agoEveryone who cares wants him to care too. Even if he doesn’t, it’s notable that he is not mincing words, prevaricating, or pretending to care. At least respect him for apparent honesty. If he does care but has the equation “NBA in China >> human rights in other country”, then break out the tar and feathers.

Are Democrat candidates OK funding their campaigns from people like this? Why? EDIT: In the same interview he says: "I'm not even sure that China is a dictatorship the way that you want to call it that," Palihapitiya said after a cohost called the communist nation a "brutal dictatorship."
