It might not be odd or bad if you consider that almost everyone is selfish.
However, the fundamental problem here is that SVB lost $X billion dollars of depositors' money, and Garry et al. wanted the government i.e. taxpayers to pay for those billions instead of the depositors, hurting us for the benefit of him and his community.
This is ordinary human nature and I don't care about Peter Thiel doing that because everyone already knows he's selfish, but some others want to act like they're selfless and be celebrated for it, and I don't accept that hypocrisy. Rich people should be assumed selfish until very strongly proven otherwise.
