"If civilization flourishes in this century, It will have been because of the will of ~1,000 dudes in SF, LA, and D.C."

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.

Unless their will is to tie blocks of concrete to their feet and get in the sea, I can't see how.

I reflexively downvoted this post because that tweet/reply is so appalling.

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.
