Reid Hoffman

So, look, I think the unfortunate prediction for RFK's probable confirmation is it will probably be measured in thousands of American lives lost. I think that the question around the fact that he's saying, I'm just following science, no, he's not. It's not only is he anti-vaccine in many, many statements over decades. He is essentially anti-science.

I've heard of meetings where he is meeting with scientists, where the scientists try to tell him, he's like, no, no, you're supposed to listen to me. It's like, no, no, the whole point is to listen to good scientists. And I think this will be, if this confirmation goes through,

I think the senators who vote on it should track how many thousands of American lives they're willing to spend in this calculus. Because if he implements any of the things that he has articulated and talked about, I think the cost is going to be measured in lives.

So I think... Um, that one of the, you know, the strengths and weaknesses tend to go together. And a lot of tech people tend to think they go, well, I've met him and it was a perfectly reasonable conversation. And so therefore, you know, like, oh, that's just all media stuff. It's like, it's media stuff that he said that he did in other rooms that you weren't in. Yeah. Right.

But there tends to be this this this really strong, you know, kind of like, no, no, I met him and I got the cut of his jib.

And I think one of the things that's very important is to have a little bit of like, look, just how a person talks to you is not necessarily how they actually, in fact, operate in the world. And you have to apply that. And so I've had a number of tech people try to say, OK, he's great. I'm like, just look.

Look, like, for example, in an alternative, like, hiring context, I prefer references to interviewing. I prefer to have both. But reference checking is much better. And it's like, I've seen the references on RFK. Like, that's part of the reason why it's like, okay, this appointment will be measured in thousands of American lives lost.

I love that prediction. And by the way, I think it's a good thing to begin to broaden the kind of set of different folks in the briefing room. I just think it's critical if you think – Like, I am, this is the office of the president for all Americans to have a diversity of access to it. I mean, so, for example, you have a, you know, kind of a, you know, a Democratic president.
