I struggle to think of a good reason why such prominent figures in politics and tech would associate themselves with such an event.
There is no good reason, but there is an obvious bad one: these prominent figures have racist sympathies (if they aren’t “outright” racist themselves) and in between a lack of empathy and position of privilege don’t care about the negative effects of boosting racist influencers.
There comes a point when “they are themselves racist AF” becomes the simplest explanation for so many things.

🎶 We didn’t start the fire
We just tried to profit
From our own new market
We didn’t start the fire
Though I see why we might’ve
I did not ignite it 🎶
