Chamath's trying to build a persona of someone who cares about social issues. I'm not surprised to see this, he was always a fraud in my eyes. A lot of people can lose money because of him. I cannot believe billionaires like him and Mark Cuban tell retail investors to hold GME. Even if they are right, don't they think they have some responsibility given their influence as successful business people?

And don't even get me started on the biggest troll of all, mr. Musk. But at least he's not trying to hide behind some fake persona.




Cuban gave very generic advice re: GME on his reddit AMA like "Don't panic sell".

It was only controversial in the context of him being on /wsb in the first place. He wasn't actually giving dumb advice.

[Citation Needed] Otherwise this is unsubstantiated vitriol.

From my standpoint Musk is responsible for a staggering amount of retail wealth creation and real world technological progress.


None of that is incompatible with him trolling on twitter. Surprisingly.


True but I wonder how relevant the two are to each other.

"Trolling" is starting to feel semantically bankrupt.
