Seems like whenever tech people get rich enough they become completely obsessed with politics.
- WhyCause 3y agoI think it's more that once you get rich, the political machine becomes obsessed with you and your donations. That attention can be kind of addictive.
- solfox 3y agoFeels very egoic to me.
- micromacrofoot 3y agoThey're like dragons guarding their piles of gold
- mjmsmith 3y agoThat ladder isn't going to pull itself up.
- concordDance 3y agoNo, just the ones you are likely to hear about on the news. Take a look at the top 10 richest Americans, most spend very little time on politics and you'll often struggle to even find out their opinions of the issues of the day.
- theGnuMe 3y agoHa! That is so not true. Musk, Koch, Griffin, Bloomberg, Gates.
- concordDance 3y agoI couldn't even tell you whether Gates currently votes Republican or Democrat, let alone his position on zoning or trans rights. I think the word "obsessed" would definitely be inapplicable.
- abenga 3y agoHow they vote is probably irrelevant. To whom their PACs donate, however…
- iancmceachern 3y agoIt's an ego thing
