I'm sure it has everything to do with unsafe self-driving and nothing to do with the source of his wealth, Green Hills Software, which competes on software for autonomous vehicles.


There should be an net worth total asset cap for senate and presidential eligibility. How the fuck can you be expected to run a country when your blind to the experience of 99% of the country. That’s before you get into his obvious conflict of interest mentioned in another comment here. It’s difficult enough when these people are divorced from reality and beholden to corporate sponsors bankrolling their next campaign but when it’s their own corporate self-interests and wealth that are paying for their campaigns then it’s just insane.

I’d think much beyond 10 million in total assets at current day value and you should be ineligible for office.
