Ro Khanna doesn't represent the majority of rich libertarian types who would be in Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Atherton, and Saratoga. The rest of Silicon Valley tends to be suburban, upper class tech workers with large immigrant populations who are only moderately likely to have libertarian views.

And very likely to not be paying attention to him right now to the degree they’ll remember anything come election. Not for tangential issues. Donors, on the other hand, can give now.
Eh, I canvassed for privacy bills and that was a total disaster. I believe in the TikTok ban, but I’m not passionate about it.
> then Rep Ro Khanna wouldn't still be posting about TikTok
If I were advising Ro I would absolutely insist he tweet about it. Particularly off cycle. Anyone in Silicon Valley or a district with rich libertarians, for that matter.
