So this is the motte to Marc Andreessen's bailey?

"Why are you upset about me namechecking fascists and anonymous twitter shitposters in an unhinged and uninformed rant calling for me and my friends to be unchecked by democratic oversight?

Ironically, I don't think tech leaders have forbidden their kids to have books because they might get addicted to paper.
