Would Biden have bailed out the uninsured depositors of a no-name oil-&-gas bank in Oklahoma? Absolutely not. Silicon Valley tech cronyism in its ugliest form. https://t.co/kIwkNVSL5h — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

Wokeness & cronyism go hand-in-hand. It’s a key part of how the game is played. Same reason that Silicon Valley Bank made a crazy $5 *billion* commitment to “sustainable finance” for a “healthier planet” last year. If you wonder why Silicon Valley got a special bailout, wake up. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

@charliekirk11 This is not unrelated to why their depositors got government bailouts. It’s a sort of protection racket. And it works. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

We are leading this race with actual *solutions.* I will do what the other GOP candidates appear afraid to even say. End affirmative action. Abandon the climate cult. Use military force to secure the border and annihilate the drug cartels. Much more to come. https://t.co/jdks8VwN2Y — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

Here’s the dirty little secret: the bailout had nothing to do with helping “workers.” It was about startups avoiding *equity dilution*. These companies’ business models are still the same as they were. VC investors could’ve just put in more $$, but they wanted a bailout instead. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

This isn’t a bailout of Silicon Valley Bank. It’s a bailout of *Silicon Valley* itself. Bailing out the tech companies who made reckless financial decisions by depositing way too much $$ at SVB. They should be held accountable for their disastrous financial decisions. That’s how… https://t.co/YNKl2NIp6D — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

It’s a bailout, pure & simple. For years, SVB and its cronies lobbied for looser risk limits by arguing that its failure wouldn’t create “systemic risk” and wouldn’t need special intervention by the U.S. government. Yet now the same cronies claim SVB was “systemically important.” https://t.co/Ey0V61OPp9 — PolitiTweet.org

@caroljsroth @DavidSacks There’s a difference between shoring up confidence in all other banks with a *prospective* action that sets clear rules of road for all & selectively changing the rules after the fact for SVB. Easier to explain in a WSJ op-ed than a tweet: https://t.co/YChvkXExEx — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

@realchrisrufo @DavidSacks That’s why I didn’t say this was the same as the 2008 situation. But it’s still a bad example of cronyism, full stop. Venture investors could’ve just put more $$ in those same startups but didn’t want to. So they advocated for a bailout instead - not of SVB, but of tech itself. — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidSacks @Jason I respect that you have a different point of view and said as much. Pointing out the incentives that a class of investors has when they advocate for public policies isn’t an ad hominem attack. And come on man, you went far beyond that yesterday & then some (which I’ll forgive). — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

With Biden in the White House, we’re facing a double whammy: rising interest rates and a regulatory environment beholden to the climate cult. Unshackle the US economy. Unleash growth. https://t.co/86lW73QRE9 — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

The terms” government bailout” and “moral hazard” don’t just apply to banks. These concepts apply to corporations too. Yes, that includes tech startups in Silicon Valley who banked at SVB due to *special treatment* they received from SVB. Don’t fall for the terminology jujitsu. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

The term “government bailout” doesn’t just apply to banks. Same goes for the term “moral hazard.” These also apply to *corporations.* Including tech startups in Silicon Valley who banked at SVB due to special treatment they received from SVB. Don’t fall for the terminology trick. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

@realchrisrufo @DavidSacks Chris, taxpayers are indeed on the hook, just indirectly. The moral hazard problem here is this: countless tech firms flush with cash out way too much $$ in SVB partly in return for special treatment for their founders. We now incentivize more of that bad behavior. If this were a… — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidSacks It’s not an ad hominem attack David. I just think everyone needs to understand the incentives.
