> Yeah, but why would a tech oligarch support someone that is advocating limiting tech?
Limiting tech applies to the small players who don't have political power. As long as they have a seat at the table when regulations are passed, they will benefit from any regulation. This is why zucc, altman, andreessen and other oligarchs are vocally for increased regulation (ironically andreessen is calling out regulatory capture for AI while at the same time wants 'clear regulation to eliminate bad actors exploiting the technology for nefarious purposes' when it comes to crypto). Because they will have the right lobbyists ready to whisper the proper regulations to government officials making sure the small guy doesn't have a chance to penetrate or thrive in the market.
