I imagine the fact that the biggest political conspiracy theory of the past like 50 years crosses path with the most divisive element of the Republicans platform is going to lead to some challenges holding together the current coalition on the right.

Curious how this impacts JD Vance’s nomination being so directly tied to SV. If the pro-Israel contingent on the right wins, then probably positively? But then JD Vance is very much a new coalition that is not MAGA/America First or whatever.

wild that beef with paul graham somehow led to back-channel israel diplomacy. but i guess that's silicon valley for you lol
Interesting that Sam and Jessica Lessin led a group of founders to Israel and tried to meet up with Ehud Barak there. Should The Information disclose that when they cover Israel? I'm not sure, but it does seem like relevant context?
> “It’s not just about Israel,” Karp told CNBC last year(opens in new tab). “It’s like, ‘Do you believe in the West? Do you believe the West has created a superior way of living?’”

Hilarious quote from the terrifying police state guy.

Is it supposed to be surprising that Israel is interested in US defense tech?
