Karp in particular is just a physical avatar for Thiel (literally, imagine Thiel playing a WoW character called Alex Karp, probably a DH main). You see in the Epstein emails just who owns things, and people like Karp are just truly a virtual representation of an oligarch.

Almost like the thing they say is true, the devil is disguised, but quite apparent … almost brazen. Devil in disguise would be too simple of an explanation, but that is what it truly is.

Trippy times.

Edit:

But to echo the general sentiment, the “cool” super smart ceo shtick who says edgy capitalistic things was always a particularly obnoxious phenomena.
