Wealth and Government Ties in Tech

And there is an ego,

a belief that they were brought up in a way,

many were highly educated,

many have professional backgrounds,

great degrees from great institutions.

But then the wealth sets in.

And if you think about the trajectory these women go on once the wealth comes in,

usually the wealth comes in

not necessarily because their tech husband is this entrepreneur.

exceptional It's because what I've realized is that the government helped

fund their husband at some point along the way.

If you look at like the history of Google or the history of Facebook or

the history of Apple, even the history of,

you know, not so much Amazon, but like even Hewlett Packard or Oracle.

These companies didn't just spring up out of nowhere.

They came through institutional backing at some point.

In the case of, you know, Facebook and Google,

especially where a lot of these tech wife mafia folks come from,

it was Stanford.

There's this like, there's this Silicon Valley Stanford network.

And if you look at where some of those grants or money came from,

early money especially, and then accelerant money,

it came from individuals that had government ties.

And so these companies serve government functions as well.

Like Google really

was involved with the government in helping

identify behavior on the internet and Facebook as well.

And so it's no surprise that the intertwining between the Democratic Party,

which is so prevalent in California,

and these companies has just always been there.

That synergy has always been there. And that relationship has always been there.
