Big-Tech Communist Who Doesn't Care About Genocide Is HUGE Dem Donor

Chamath Palihapitiya, the NBA team owner who argued on a podcast Saturday that “nobody cares” about the genocide of China’s Uyghur Muslim population, is a Democratic Party mega-donor who has toyed with the idea of running for governor of California.

As Breitbart News reported, Palihapitiya, 45, the co-owner of the Golden State Warriors, told the All-In podcast that he did not care about the Uyghur issue:

During his All-In podcast interview, Palihapitiya waved off concerns about China’s ongoing genocide against the Uyghurs, saying, “Nobody cares about what’s happening to the Uyghurs.” Palihapitiya, the CEO of Societal Capital which boasts that its call is “solving the world’s hardest problems,” shocked podcast host David Sacks when he dismissed concerns about the enslavement of millions of Chinese Uyghurs because he feels no one cares about them. Palihapitiya went on to add that he has other priorities to worry about.

Palihapitiya is also a major donor to the Democratic Party. As Breitbart News reported last year: “Palihapitiya, the CEO of venture capital firm Social Capital, gave more than $1 million to Democrats in the last election — including $250,000 to the Biden Victory Fund.”

The Biden Administration distanced itself from Palihapitiya’s remarks on Monday. The Administration has previously described the abuse of Uyghurs and members of other Muslim minorities in the region as “widespread, state-sponsored forced labor” and “mass detention.” The Biden Administration has also warned businesses with supply chain and investment ties to Xinjiang that they could face legal consequences.

Almost the entirety of Palihapitiya’s donations have been to Democrats exclusively — with the exception of thousands of dollars allocated to Ted Cruz in his first U.S. Senate campaign — and several were given to Democratic Party organizations in key swing states during the 2020 election. As Breitbart News noted last year, Palihapitiya even considered running against Gov. Gavin Newsom in the California recall, though he did not ultimately do so.

Billionaire Palihapitiya's comments triggered a backlash on social media. The team wrote in a statement on Twitter Monday that Palihapitiya “does not speak on behalf of our franchise, and his views certainly don’t reflect those of our organization.” The Golden State Warriors’ statement did not mention the Uyghurs or China.

He later clarified his remarks in a Monday evening tweet, saying he recognizes that he came across as “lacking empathy.”

“As a refugee, my family fled a country with its own set of human rights issues so this is something that is very much a part of my lived experience,” said Palihapitiya, who was born in Sri Lanka. “To be clear, my belief is that human rights matter, whether in China, the United States, or elsewhere. Full stop.”
