Tech oligarchs (Sergey Brin, Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg, Yuri and Julia Milner, and Anne Wojcicki) create a science prize, fund the inauguration of an anti-science president who appoints a fellow tech bro to gut govt funding of science, and then cut the part where someone points out the irony… “for time reasons”… from a YouTube video.

Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Sergey Brin all in attendance.
