It’s super weird to call @garrytan or @martin_casado oligarchs. They’re both immigrants. They worked hard and built things people wanted/found valuable. “Oligarch” is obviously used to draw parallels to the shady private accumulation of public assets after the collapse of the USSR. But like… Martin pioneered software defined networking when he was a PhD student at Stanford - an immensely valuable technology - and made his fortune building a company around it. It’s the literal definition of the American dream. People consumed by jealousy and resentment will look for any excuse to take from those who have found success, but it’s never enough - there is nothing quite so permanent as a “temporary tax”.
