Mam, the call is coming from inside the house.

The wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom blasted Silicon Valley leaders Monday for cozying up to Donald Trump, calling them a “tech oligarchy” and accusing them of using “unchecked” power to avoid accountability for kids’ safety on social media.
First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom issued her criticism as she called for action to fight social media addiction at the Common Sense Summit in downtown San Francisco, run by the eponymous advocacy group.
“There’s a tech oligarchy running our country right now that is unchecked, where there’s no accountability and transparency,” Siebel Newsom said during a panel discussion with Pinterest CEO Bill Ready.
“The fact that we recognize that, that we’re actually outing it, in a way, that gives me hope because that means that something can change because we know something’s wrong.”

To be fair, her parents moved to Florida because they couldn’t handle California anymore, so there is something positive happening there.
DeSantis: “I was talking to a fellow who had made the move from CA to FL. He was telling me that FL is much better governed, safer, better budget, lower taxes, all this stuff…and then he paused and said ‘Oh, by the way, I’m Gavin Newsom’s father-in-law.'” pic.twitter.com/Rbp8amZ5oJ

Oligarchs are fine if they’re on your team.

Democratic logic.
Funny how they discovered this fact only after the smallest social media platform decided not to do this, and yet they go after that one platform with violence.

It’s fine it’s her own private oligarchy. https://t.co/1ydXvlPS0I

Only rich people who agree with her are good or something.
She personally is a member of the oligarchy. It’s always funny watching these rich elitist left wing heirs to family fortunes and Power trying to pretend like they just got out of the coal mines.
