I like the openness we're seeing in major figures like Dr. Soon-Shiong. 

I feel like billionaires and major newspaper owners didn't talk to the public, or talk to each other publicly, until @elonmusk bought Twitter.

It was refreshing to see @BillAckman take his journey more or less publicly. Marc Andreessen (@pmarca) has been prolific as well.

Dr. Soon-Shiong is pointing to Ben Horowitz – of Andreessen Horowitz – making a large donation to Kamala Harris' campaign a few months ago. Marc had criticized Dr. Soon-Shiong for the LA Times endorsing criminally incompetent Dem politicians like Bass and Newsom, and for the Times' far left activist character.

Marc himself donated huge sums to Senate Democrats and other Democratic Party PACs and candidates. This is very confusing. If he already addressed this, I missed it.

A charitable interpretation is that he felt compelled to donate as necessary tribute to get people to take his calls, listen to his concerns, and so on. Maybe that's the reality of the system we have. I don't know. If so, it's depressing. Also, my impression is that he supported Democrats for many years, and not Republicans, so I'm not sure what's going on.

He doesn't seem like any kind of leftist, née "liberal", authoritarian, etc right now. He posts about John Galt and Hayek, seems like a very articulate and learned champion of liberty, so it's all so confusing.
