These are the gifts TechGod Joe Lonsdale is giving Americans and citizens in other countries that allow his infectious, addictive, intrusive corporate offerings.
Joe was on CNBC yesterday and his interview is so valuable it's under their Pro offering, which requires a subscription.
I happened to be viewing that channel and was shocked by his creepy positioning in his private plane. It gave off a Wizard of Oz meets Epstein's Lolita Express vibe. Don't look behind the curtain, it might be the flying billionaire bonk palace.
Joe was headed to or away from Dallas depending on what time he gave his headliner talk at Venture Dallas 2026.
“Texas is the greatest [state] in this country, and America is going to win because of people like you who are building,” said Joe Lonsdale, co-founder of Miami-based software company Palantir Technologies and founder and managing partner of Austin-based 8VC.
Lonsdale’s VC firm was an early backer of Dallas-based life insurance startup Bestow.Red Team reject Senator John Cornyn spoke at the event.
“Every day I wake up, it seems like some other sort of science fiction thing has happened.”Yes, Senator. The evil overlords who usurp God at every turn have arrived on a technological chariot.
Cornyn prognosticated:
“As long as we have people like those in this room who are willing to take a few well-calculated risks and create something new and something useful and important, I think the future is bright indeed.”Bright for whom? Lonsdale wants in on Iran, as does nearly every private equity underwriter (PEU) and TechGod.
Bully for John Cornyn whose Congressional peers gave TechGods free range to harm children for decades, virtually unabated and untaxed.
Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their new TechGod brethren. Increasingly, more are one and the whole lot is frankly insufferable.
