Is there any evidence they were libertarians to begin with? Peter Thiel might be, but he isn't asking for a bailout - he got himself out.


Yes, lots. There's a fun meme going around where you take any random VC ""thoughtleader"" demanding a complete backstop for SVB depositors and search "bailout until:2023-03-09" on their Twitter account to see what they thought about bailouts and moral hazard before last Thursday.


I don't have any polls to support this, but I'd be very surprised if the median VC thoughtleader is particularly libertarian.

There are a few outspoken ones, sure. But just a few.
