I sat on the *People by WTF* episode with Chamath Palihapitiya on 2 March 2026, where we explored my funding model, founder personality insights, crypto and AI views, and the prospect of an Indian‑owned social‑media platform.

I learned it the hard way: a leveraged drawdown that forced me to sell Tesla, then about $4‑5 billion lost on SPACs.

I prefer grant‑only funding to avoid equity dilution and build a talent pipeline, and I focus on “arrogant” founders because they tend to succeed more than docile ones.
