For those that don't read/watch:

Vivek claims to be anti establishment

Company price suspiciously doubles on the six months prior to him announcing a run for presidency, which allows him to sell a lot of stock to make millions

His investors and donors include blackrock, vanguard, teacher unions etc

I was really unimpressed by him during his appearance on Bill Mahers "casual" podcast. He takes zero stands on anything.

I'd much much rather have Trump, RFK or DeSantis in terms of battling the DS than Vivek

Summary:

A biotech research company is not profitable for years and then COVID happens and its value goes up, attracting institutional investors in successful pursuit of making its shareholders money.

Then the CEO, who decides to run for president, steps down and liquidates a large portion of his shares at a great profit to fund the campaign.

This is evidence that Vivek is an inside man and cannot be trusted when he speaks on the need to reign in institutional investors like Blackrock and Vanguard (who invested in his company), or the need to end the department of education (a union pension fund was also invested in his campaign, likely through a mutual fund or basket of tech investments.)

The guy in the video concludes his monologue about the suspicious nature of investments with the reminder that he is no a financial analyst.

He is a GOP version of Barry Soetero, a/k/a Barack HUSSEIN Obama.

A plant whom globalists must water.

This would be awesome. Obama was probably the most successful president in terms of pushing his ideals of a progressive reformation of America. We could use that the other way.

Vivek is a grifter. It is obvious to anyone who is paying attention.

The dude is sharp as a tack. He’s a little naive, but I like watching him field questions from the crowd. He deftly answers questions and is able to get nuanced without speaking in platitudes.

Populists are suckers for liars.

Its why they stay in poverty and require government advocates.

Vivek reads the tea leaves and picks a position. Its extremely dishonest. But it changes ever few years, so he will eventually agree with everything you want.

Vivek is a run of the mill pvt equity/vc grifter, that was able to raise a bunch of money for a company that’s done nothing notable. There’s a ton of these dipshits rolling around…he’s just a modern, financialized version of the music man.

I've been saying this the entire time. Something does not add up with Vivek. He is a wolf in sheeps clothing

Quoted to note where we are as a movement.

We’re using Manchurian candidates as blueprints and Rules for Radicals as strategy.

This is so stupid. Of course a clinical stage drug company is not profitable but the claim that Roivant's drugs have all failed trials is false because their drug for severe ulcerative colitis recently reported such positive long-term phase 2 results that Roche is reportedly interested in buying it for $7 billion.
