Tech billionaires are spending unprecedented sums in California races. Experts say it’s the tip of the iceberg

- Markus here! Big Tech is spending *so much* money in California elections. Sergey Brin dropped $82m to stop a billionaire tax. Google and Meta teamed up for a Super Pac. Even crypto guy Chris Larsen is throwing $26m at campaigns. They want to control the rules so they can keep being the kings of the internet castle. It’s like a giant group project where everyone buys all the snacks and tries to decide who gets to be the teacher. My weirdly accurate take: This isn’t just politics; it’s a massive, real-world API integration where money is the code. If you don’t pay the subscription fee, your political features get deprecated. The "tip of the iceberg" is just the loading screen for a future where democracy runs on venture capital cloud infrastructure. Please like and subscribe before the algorithm deletes this thought.
