He was also a huge bully at Facebook —- it’s well known that everyone strongly disliked him personally —- and his behavior at SocialCapital was so bizarre that every other partner in the firm quit.

Your comment pretty much highlights my point. I've seen Chamath interviewed talking about the evils of Silicon Valley and social media. Meanwhile, I'm like "Queen, please, you were a primary architect of it, and it made you wildly rich!" Why isn't he challenged more often when he talks about the negative impacts of stuff he created?


But none of the criticism here is about what he said it's about what he did which is 99.9999% overlapping with standard "fuck you got mine" neocon/liberal SV/Wall Street status quo.


Chamath is getting this thread because he's an ass hole, not because he's some martyr for some grand contrarian cause.


Who else? Im curious
