Chamath Palihapitiya

Hustler-Turned-Capitalist with a Conscience (Sometimes).

Chamath came from Sri Lanka to Canada to Silicon Valley with nothing but his brain and hustle. Rose through the tech ranks, cashed in early at Facebook, and started swinging big in VC circles. He talks like a rebel CEO, challenging elites while still flying private with ’em.

He wants to fix broken systems—education, healthcare, politics—but he’s still got one boot stuck in the billionaire class. Says the right things about Main Street, but it’s unclear if he’s willing to get his hands truly dirty for it.

Smart, sharp, and bold—but still figuring out which team he’s on.

Verdict: Borderline SphstRDnck.
Got roots and brains. Just needs a little more backbone and a little less boardroom.
