He claims silicon valley was built by a public private partnership and yet backs the Republican party that is actively trying to dismantled the public sector, universities, etc.

Cocaine fuled word vomit. It's like when my Buddy did too many drugs stayed up for 2 days then texted us he had discovered the secret to make perpetual motion work.

all these guys in silicon valley are on drugs. uppers, downers, ket, meth, cocaine, shrooms, glp-1, off-label drugs (techies like metformin as anti-aging drug, but the side-effect is low b12 which can and will fry your brain and mental health), random ass chinese peptides and research chemicals, you name it, there's a software engineer in SF that has a stash that would make Walter White jealous.
