Naval Ravikant, a famous Silicon Valley investor, said to Megyn Kelly that the legal action against former President Donald Trump made him “come off the sidelines.” He also said, “The moment you can weaponize the law on your enemies, that means the beginning of the end and a slide into a total banana republic.”
“The police weaponization is what kind of pulled me off the bleachers.” As Ravikant told Kelly on a recent show of The Megyn Kelly Show, “This is really disgusting actions because this is how you turn into a banana republic with military rule.” Ravikant helped to create AngelList and was its CEO for a while. He has invested in over 200 Silicon Valley startups over the course of a very successful career spanning decades.
“The end of the world starts the moment you can start using the law against your enemies on your own terms,” Ravikant said.
The businessman then used a famous quote by Óscar R. Benavides, who was President of Peru at the time: “For my friends, everything; for my foes, the law.”
Ravikant said, “That is, once you’re in charge and can say who the law applies to, you’re on a very slippery slope.” He added, “Slippery slopes are real.”
“If you look at the charges against Trump—and I did read them very carefully—they were false. They weren’t real,” Ravikant said.
“You broke the statute of limitations, you tried to make it sound like a crime when there was no proof. You can always find something when your business is complicated, like mine and a lot of other people’s,” he said.
Ravikant said more:
“This kind of selective punishment and harassment is what lets them get away with it. A lot of the progressive DA movement, which is led by George Soros and others, is based on the idea that, “Hey, we can choose whether or not to go after certain people.”
