That’s not true.
Some of them are libertarian pedos.
I think this super "government shouldn't do basically anything" libertarianism that the tech bros are, as well as many of their acolytes and zealots, is actually really anarcho-syndicalism. That name sounds scary and radical though, so they call themselves something that sounds like liberty. In my country (USA), that word is really, really loaded beyond its dictionary meanings.
There's not a single anarchist bone between Thiel, Karp, Nadella, Andreessen, etc.
They still can only conceive of hierarchies, and how to use them to dominate people.
Anarcho-syndicalists are the people building unions. Captains of industry are the people smashing unions.

You’re right, I was just saying it for the bit.
Pretty much. Being indifferent to companies doing whatever they want, even when it is always against the public good, is functionally the same as advocating for it in this monopoly/oligopoly environment.
They say they arre, but theyre not.
