Didn't downvote you, but I'm not sure there is anyone in the American VC class that shared the harrowing plight of Palestinians as much as Kamala-voting pg did.

Didn't downvote you, but I'm not sure there is anyone in the American VC class that shared the harrowing plight of Palestinians as much as Kamala-voting pg did. Not to say he does it alot, but in the VC feeds that I normally check out once in a while it's virtually non-existent. Hell, Musk even attended and applauded Netanyahu's speech in Congress. ...By that metric that would make pg a radical leftist. You know what wasn't on my bingo card for 2024? Paul Buchheit being red-pilled harder than Paul Graham.

> Kamala-voting pg Oh! I didn't know he spoke out against Teump and endorsed Harris: https://x.com/paulg/status/1851200055220306378/photo/1 https://x.com/paulg/status/1851200055220306378/photo/1 That's a pretty strong statement. Hats off! Since then, PG seems to have gone silent on Trump. Instead he decided to post that essay about wokeness, right after major SV players publicly sucked up to Trump. Didn't he - or the people who read the draft - realized that it would make people believe he joined the MAGA camp? What happened there?

  I think Musk called pg a retard and released the right-wings trolls on him by doing so after pg pushed back on Musk's UK interference when he shared a UK poll showing a dislike for Musk across party lines. He's stated his preference for Kamala over Trump on multiple occasions ("I don't agree with xyz, but on the whole Trump is worse." being the gist of it). Right-wing trolls also went after him after this anti-woke essay, claiming he was late to the party. though he had been consistent on that point for quite some as well.

    > when he shared a UK poll showing a dislike for Musk across party lines. Love it! But all of that doesn't really explain why he went silent on Trump and decided to publish that essay at probably the worst time possible. I know it is consistent with some of his past essays, but the optics are terrible. What was he thinking?
