The Nerd Reich | Tech Billionaires Threaten to Flee California—Again by Gil Duran

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Tech billionaires in California—most notably Peter Thiel and Google co‑founder Larry Page—are rattled by a proposed ballot measure that would levy a one‑time 5 % wealth tax on the state’s richest residents, a levy that could cost them billions and would apply retroactively to anyone living in California on Jan 1 2026. Backed by the Service Employees International Union‑United Health Workers, the measure isn’t yet on the ballot but has already spurred the billionaires to contemplate exiting the Golden State, with Governor Gavin Newsom even raising money to fight the proposal. Public opinion appears strongly in favor of taxing the ultra‑wealthy—polls show a majority of Americans, and likely an even higher share in California, think billionaires pay too little and wield too much power—fueling a broader backlash against Silicon Valley’s outsized influence, its ties to authoritarian politics, and calls for greater accountability. The article also notes a parallel trend of tech elites, including Curtis Yarvin and former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss, turning their attention to British politics.

#ReformUKLtd won't touch #LizTruss with a barge pole.

#NigelFarage has already gone out of his way to avoid being photographed with her at events that they have both attended.

And this despite Truss having money to pay. She has a well-financed social media operation and is touring the U.S.A. claiming that she will spearhead an English version of MAGA.

Reform U.K. Ltd has nonetheless clearly drawn the line at letting her in.

Surely Liz Truss' comments about British people being able to carry guns is an April Fool's joke?

The French took away British people's rights to bear arms, she claims. And:

"‘When you see the state misusing its power and the way that citizens are being suppressed in Britain on issues like free speech, you can see the logic of the founding fathers in having the right to bear arms as a key part of the American constitution."

April Fool's... or just a fool?

Wow. To say the UK should have the right to bare arms is one thing but.... to say this is something entirely different.

The 'Lettuce Lady'

"So Britain’s self-appointed ambassador to MAGA was not on the main stage but on a secondary platform, amid the merchandise stalls and podcast studios, delivering her vision for a British revolution to a room whose primary function was selling Trump cigars and sequinned jackets."
