It's the Parisian who created a tech-based fortune, who is the son of Iranians living out of that country - he is Pierre Omidyar - who founded eBay.
Yes, Yet Another Tech Guy Who Thinks He is Qualified to Run the World (YATGWTHQRW). The funny thing is, so many of them are Leftists, or espouse Leftist Causes:
- Gill Gates
- Steve Jobs
- Steve Wozniak
- Mark Zuckerberg
To just name a few. They made their money the Old-Fashioned Way - by exploiting every edge available in the American System, and ruthlessly crushing their competitors, not to mention how they used political influence to get favorable treatment by the bureaucracy, IRS, and the coutrs.
Did they have a Scrooge moment one night? Were they converted by their Leftist wives? Did their brains get scrambled by a CIA bot? Was blackmail involved?
Who knows? But, one of the most consistent things to bet on is the sharp turn Left that a successful Tech Billionaire will make, upon reaching IPO status.
