Chamath has been absolutely blowing up over the last year. His SPACs have done incredibly well, his new podcast is at the top of the charts, and now he’s running for Governor of California. I figured it would be interesting to run through his history and try and tie some things together into a coherent narrative. He’s a super interesting person in Silicon Valley and someone who I think is very genuine and authentic. Definitely hoping to hear more from him in the future.

Seeing where your channel is to where it was is very encouraging to see. Taking the best parts of what was working and continuing to modify and improve is everything good about being a creator. Props man and keep up the good work.

  • I had a different take which is SPACs might hurt Chamaths legacy since I’ve heard that he was pumping the SPACs that he created as he was selling shares. I never bought any SPACs because 20% fees are much much higher the a ipo fee.

  • We need more people like Chamath to run for office. I am an independent, but I can't vote for any Democrat at this point because when you vote for your local Democrat, you are giving power to the Democrats in Washington (remember that the majority party controls the committees in Congress) and that party is controlled by left-wing radicals who hate capitalism and Western Civilization. These radicals also hate fossil fuels and freedom of speech.
