That's it, that's the tweet.
Almost feel bad posting because there's a good chance it's engagement bait, but even then there's a good chance he unironically believes this.
He has a startup by the way, check his pinned tweet.
Love the reply saying "eh, I disagree -- LA's not that important, it's really just SF and DC"
Unless their will is to tie blocks of concrete to their feet and get in the sea, I can't see how.
If anything them and their shagging private planes are driving down the chance of human civilization surviving as they will forestall effective climate action. If you successfully defeat AI/wokeism/California democrats but fail to deal with rising global temperatures, you'll have done nothing but rearrange the deckchairs on the titanic.
I just like really don't want to click that link.
Can you screenshot or give more context?
There's no more context - title is the entire tweet. But here's a screenshot of a short conversation under the tweet:

I reflexively downvoted this post because that tweet/reply is so appalling.
Peak narcissism.
Thanks.
Another of the great unweathered
