5/ Former Canadian PM Stephen Harper joined Joe Lonsdale’s tech investment firm (8VC) in 2017. So Lonsdale must be very disappointed that Harper’s minion (Poilievre) just lost the Canadian election. www.venturecapitaljournal.com/3448850-2/

10/ Now people are noticing a Musk bestie, J0e L0nsd@le, has two Russian-born employees at his fund, 8VC. The fund is a stakeholder in X Corp. (formerly twitter). It is not known whether the oligarchs' kin at 8vc participated in the X deal or whether their relatives have any direct access.

There it is. RFK Jr’s son, “Finn” Kennedy recently launched his own investment fund focused on AI in healthcare. It should surprise no one that he worked at 8VC—the investment fund launched by Peter Thiel’s Palantir co-founder (Joe Lonsdale)—in 2025. 4/24/26 … 1/ www.facebook.com/financialtim...

According to the documents released by the US District Court for the Northern District of California, a US-based company 8VC connected to TWO SANCTIONED RUSSIAN OLIGARCHS through their sons Denis Aven and Jack Moshkovich, invested in Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter in 2022.
March 11, 2025 at 4:53 AM
Vadim Moshkovich’s son works at 8VC, which is run by Joe Lonsdale, another member of the PayPal Mafia.

The idea that Sacks, Thiel, and Lonsdale have Russian connections is simply not that far fetched.

13/ In another blog post, Joe Lonsdale (founder of 8VC & co-founder of Palantir) said that he’s invested in Anduril and Saronic and that “We are bullish” on Trump’s incoming Department of Defense team. He then names names. blog.joelonsdale.com/p/america-ne...

So we now have people deeply entrenched with a16z, Founders Fund, Craft Ventures, 8VC, and Sequoia taking positions in the administration.

Fun times ahead for folks not at those funds.
While you were finishing your Christmas shopping, Trump nominated every hedgefund asshole and crypto bro in the country to a position in his administration.

We're going to long for the days of Secretary Pete McKinsey.

I wonder if Blueskies know one of the men behind Musk's Twitter purchase is the son of Russian oligarch, Kremlin agent and Trump-Russia figure Petr Aven. Last month's revelation that Musk was quietly in contact with Putin for years seems to confirm the Musk-Twitter op as an election interference op.

12/ In the same piece, Joe Lonsdale (founder of 8VC & co-founder of Palantir) states that “My old friend Jim O'Neill will be RFK Jr's deputy at HHS; we and talented friends we admire are also close to Mehmet Oz (CMS), Jay Bhattacharya (NIH), Marty Makary (FDA), and more.”

Kumpikin näistä kahdesta oligarkista on Ukrainan sodan vuoksi lännen pakotelistalla.
