  • I get that it’s become accepted that Sunak is a techbro in the same way that Johnson was a great orator but neither withstand any sort of exposure to reality (Johnson is barely um, ah, forgive me, articulate).

    Leaving aside that Sunak worked in finance then politics rather than any sort of tech, he doesn’t exactly meet the techbro hyper masculine stereotype (in fact he presents as the sort of chap that would get his head flushed down the toilet by a techbro or, indeed, by Biff from Back to the Future).

    Not that this has any relevance to election/no election but I’m not buying the narrative about Sunak’s tech expertise

  • Sunak's understanding of technology is beyond basic. I know someone who attending a meeting with him at Number 10 and he was shocked at how poor his understanding was.

  • head flushed down the toilet by a techbro

    Isn't that metaphorically what Elon musk did to him when rishi interviewed him?

    If we ignore the married wealth I don't think Rishi counts as particularly wealthy by hedge fund standards. He was in finance for 15 years, an analyst for the first 5 years on about 1-200k a year before hitting partner level.
    I'd be surprised if his career income exceeded 50m.

    Obviously that's beyond dream levels of wealth for most of us, me included, but it's nowhere near what his wife is worth.
