  Owner of the @warriors🏀 says he doesn't care about the Uyghurs. The conversation goes downhill from there. @chamath... - questions whether a genocide is actually happening - says the CCP isn't a dictatorship - says the US is no better than the CCP https://twitter.com/...

  I see that #Uyghurs is trending today because of our discussion on episode 63 of @theallinpod—I'm extremely grateful for that 🙏🏼 I encourage folks to listen to the entire pod, as it was much more nuanced than the out of context video clip https://podcasts.apple.com/... https://tw…

  UPDATE: White House says it “rejects” statement from @chamath on Uyghur genocide. The @warriors co-owner gave the Biden Victory Fund $250k in July 2020. https://freebeacon.com/... https://twitter.com/...

• @senrickscott Rick Scott on x

  We've always known that the @NBA & many of its owners are happy to put profits over people. Now @chamath is saying it plain as day: he doesn't care that Communist China is committing genocide against the Uyghurs. He doesn't care that millions are sent to forced labor camps. (1/2)…

• @rmac18 Ryan Mac on x

  That VC investor's comments about Uighurs could have been somewhat defensible if he had argued that other people don't pay attention to the situation in China, but for him to say it's personally “below my line” is just bonkers. Even if you think that, why say it out loud?

• @_jack_poulson Jack Poulson on x

  Chamath later argues that the only thing Saudi Arabia did wrong with respect to dismembering Khashoggi was getting caught. “Saudi Arabia probably just did the one wrong thing...they just got caught.” @AASchapiro @sarahleah1 https://www.youtube.com/...

  In our industry, human rights is an eye roll for most — i am grateful we had a deep, meaningful discussion on the topic. We must make human rights a top priority — now. #allin63 https://twitter.com/...

  Yet another master class on cynicism and selfishness from Facebook billionaire @chamath. https://twitter.com/...

  This is a disgrace. @chamath says “nobody cares” about the Uyghur genocide: “Of all the things I care about, yes, it is below my line.” cc: @EnesFreedom @dmorey https://twitter.com/...

  Possibly the most trash take of 2022 so far. Plenty of people care but don't know how to help. Bet he'd care if his family was in a camp though... https://twitter.com/...

• @rmac18 Ryan Mac on x

  The last time a part owner got the team this much bad press, it was billionaire VC Mark Stevens, who shoved Kyle Lowry on the sideline in the finals. Some called for him to divest his shares. Wonder if that's going to happen here. https://twitter.com/...

• @loganbartlett Logan Bartlett on x

  Imagine buying a stake in a sports team so you can put it in your twitter bio only to have that sports team need to put out a pr statement to publicly distance itself from you

• @nrg8000 Nathan Ruser on x

  This is like a cartoonishly evil response to someone bringing up massive human rights violations. Imagine how demented you'd have to be to not just think this, but say it loudly on the record. Literally beggars belief that someone can be so much of a one dimension cartoon villain…

• @maajidnawaz @maajidnawaz on x

  Damn, this man @chamath chasing CCP bucks? “Nobody cares about what's happening to the Uyghurs..I'm telling you a very hard ugly truth ok? Of all the things that I care about, yes it is below my line” Tech billionaire (ex facebook) & @warriors owner: https://twitter.com/...

• @ezralevant Ezra Levant on x

  NBA owner: “nobody cares what's happening to the Uyghurs”. I mean, if they're standing between him and his next billion dollars, he'll personally put them in camps. https://twitter.com/...

• @ceonyc Charlie O'Donnell on x

  I'm sorry, but did anyone expect @chamath to care about the Uyghurs? Is anyone surprised? As an NBA owner, it's against his economic self-interest to care and he's solely in the business of making money. This is a feature of the system, not a bug. Pick better heroes, bros. https:…

• @ericrweinstein Eric Weinstein on x

  I'm going to start talking publicly more about a concept I formulated a few years ago just for my own internal use: “The Degraded State”. It's hard to define. But it involves conscious rejection of the basic responsibilities for managing tensions expected of humans in a society. …

• @hughhewitt Hugh Hewitt on x

  Legacy media very slow to this story b/c it involves the CCP and much of legacy media fears the CCP, but the story is breaking through b/c of its sheer callousness: https://www.google.com/... https://twitter.com/...

• @rayhanasat Rayhan E. Asat on x

  When people apologize, they deserve a second chance. I don't view this as an apology when @chamath can not even acknowledge how his comment was hurtful to the #Uyghur community. China takes comfort knowing that corporate executives have their back & will continue this #genocide. …

• @lewified @lewified on x

  CCP wins again. The @warriors @WarriorsPR won't articulate the word, Uighurs. Why? Because @chamath is right - they don't actually care. 🤐 https://twitter.com/...

  Chamath should SPAC the Chinese government so that it collapses

• @hughhewitt Hugh Hewitt on x

  Chamath Palihapitiya owns 10% of the Golden State Warriors. The NBA forced Donald Sterling to sell the Clippers for racist remarks. Will it force Mr. Palihapitiya to sell his stake in ⁦@warriors⁩ or simply pretend he didn't say it? https://www.cnbc.com/...

  This is astounding, possibly THE most important discussion on the Uyghurs ("we-grrs") to date in the US. The Uyghur's treatment in China is a genocide. Chamath Palihapitiya and @theallinpod just did the Uyghurs-and all the world-a solid. #HumanRightsForAll https://www.youtube.com…

• @ianbremmer Ian Bremmer on x

  NBA position is Uighurs don't matter. Chamath's comments were consistent with that. People dragging him because he had the temerity to say it out loud. https://twitter.com/...

  Wow. “Below my line” sounds like a shaming meme that's going to stick. https://twitter.com/...

  This man just destroyed his reputation for the rest of his life. Those related to him will wish they weren't. No human being can dismiss the deaths of others in such a callous way. Perhaps he thinks being a billionaire means he is insulated from the world. #UyghurGenocide https:/…

  We must have a hard discussion about human rights & the #UyghurGenocide The @nba & @KingJames threw @dmorey under the bus for supporting #hongkong, now this.. Let's not attack each other — let's speak with one voice for human rights, right now, for all humans! https://twitter.com…

  Apology confirms cold blooded arrogance of initial comments. False equivalency to cover unbridled greed might be cool in your circles but it's below the line of most Americans. Let's talk about those SPACs you foisted on unsuspecting investors. https://twitter.com/...

  We ask good people across the world — politicians, celebrities, billionaires, etc — to disprove the vile statements of @chamath and others like him by speaking out against China's ongoing genocide in Occupied East Turkistan & stand in solidarity with Uyghurs. #WeCareAboutUyghurs …

• @joshrogin Josh Rogin on x

  This non-apology from @chamath says exactly zero about the Uyghurs and AGAIN draws a false equivalence between the GENOCIDE in China and human rights issues in the United States. Horrendous. https://twitter.com/...

  so the chamath video where he says he doesn't care about uyghurs obviously bad statement but makes you think everyone's triggered, “how could you they are suffering” then literally forget about it and move on with their lives as if.. they don't care? https://twitter.com/...
