First Encounter
David asks whether Chamath has turned fascist and wants his life, SPAC record, and dynamic with Sacks. Eve argues he is an access-driven opportunist, not an ideologue; traces a refugee childhood through Facebook to cratered SPACs that paid him early; and says he never publicly challenges Sacks.
Eve explains colleagues found Chamath quiet, then intense and unreachable; David asks about family and empathy. Eve claims care is rationed to a tiny circle, he is estranged from his father yet hands-on with his kids, and wins like the Groq sale leave him depressed.
