Everyone's seen how the most powerful tycoons in Silicon Valley have manipulated politics (and society) to their will. But we're stuck thinking of them as "VCs". They're not.

By the way, Elon Musk didn't start Tesla. By the time he invested in Tesla, the original founders had already started building the Roadster THEY had designed. When he bought them out, he changed the history of the company to make himself a founder. I'm not joking. He's always been a fraud.
