Chamath Palihapitiya, the founder and CEO of Social Capital, speaks onstage at the Vanity Fair New Establishment Summit at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts on Oct. 19, 2016 in San Francisco.Chamath Palihapitiya, a billionaire Silicon Valley venture capitalist and part-owner of the Golden State Warriors, attempted to backtrack from recent comments he made that “nobody cares,” including himself, about the ongoing Uyghur genocide in China.
The subject came up on Palihapitiya's “All-In Podcast,” when co-host Jason Calacanis praised President Joe Biden’s condemnation of the human rights abuses inflicted by the Chinese government, including genocide and forced labor in the northwest region of Xinjiang. In December, Bidenof the podcast, Palihapitiya interrupted Calacanis and said, “Nobody cares about what’s happening to the Uyghurs, OK? You bring it up because you really care. And I think that’s nice that you care.
When Calacanis responded by asking Palihapitiya if he personally doesn’t care, Palihapitiya continued: “I’m telling you a very hard ugly truth, OK? Of all the things I care about, yes, it is below my line.” Palihapitiya repeated that the genocide was below his line, and went on to say that he instead cares about such issues as America’s supply-chain problems, climate change and the potential harm to the United States economy if China were to invade Taiwan.
