E16 of We The Builders with Mike Solana (Mike Solana), Editor In Chief of Pirate Wires and CMO of Founders Fund is now available wherever you get your podcasts. Twitter/X is a battleground where you defend your ideas and murder the ones you don’t stand for (as you will hear in Mike’s own words). There is little room for nuance as I too have observed and so the Twitter/X persona of people you see often wouldn’t be the right way to categorize the person. As I prepared for this episode, I discovered how Mike has changed his opinion on topics throughout the years after discovering new information. He is one of the most independent minded people out there and it was a lot of fun to sit down for a conversation on media, Pirate Wires, Founders Fund marketing, state of advertising, charter cities and more. Mario Gabriele 🦊 did a four part series on Founders Fund a while back and described their marketing strategy as soft power initiatives. Some of these included Peter’s book Zero To One, Hereticon and Pirate Wires to name a few. Mike Solana has been at the centre of this strategy which made him a billionaire media tycoon (iykyk). At Founders Fund, he has been able to stay ahead of rivals with a team only four full time people on the marketing team compared to teams of fifty at other funds of similar size. Now he helps us make sense of the world of tech, business and politics through Pirate Wires. Friend of the pod Christopher Lochhead 🏴‍☠️ ✍🏼🎙 would probably agree that Mike has been able to build new categories around ideas he stands for representing important problems of the time. Some of these are limited standalone brands, others are cultural movements. One example of this is Hereticon, where he was able to create the category of “Thoughtcrime” which went mainstream after Elon bought Twitter. There were two editions of Hereticon (2022 & 2024) and it looks like it won’t make a comeback. Mike’s strategy is to be different. Once you have created a category and are not unique anymore, you move on. In true Zero To One fashion.

I'm "the dude" he's referring to here. I've never claimed him to be a "Rothschild Plant". (This is an intentional misrepresentation of my claims to muddy waters with untrue non-sequitirs to frame my findings as fantastical). I have asked him multiple time why his good friends Kyle Kemper (Justin Trudeaus Brother) and Dustin Stockton (J6 organizer who was mysteriously "absent" on J6) whom he co-campaigned on behalf of another Jeffrey Epstein Associate (RFK Jr), and organized a podcast under the MAHA brand, consider Brock Pierce to be a "hero" and "true patriot" (their words), who are "friends with him" (Ian's words), and whom he is "friends with" (Ian's words). He has, to my knowledge, never inquired why this is anywhere publicly. He had child rape allegations against him via DEN before ever working with Epstein. (But I'm sure Ian probably just missed that, it's only on Brocks Wikipedia Page of all places and well documented elsewhere also) When you factor in his paid work for Nicole Shanahan (Epstein Associate Sergey Brins ex-wife and Epstein Associate RFK Jr's running mate) who claimed that "Peter Thiel isn't a big deal" and that we "need a moratorium on vaccines until we figure out the science", his calling of Erik Prince "not a bad guy", his considerable collaborations with members of Mike Flynns "America's Future" (Mike Flynn is tied to Israel via OSY Technologies who owned Q Cyber technologies and was paying Flynn at the height of QAnon, IP3 International Deal with Kushner, Stanley McChrystal, etc.), him propping up Thiel Capital finance manager Eric Weinstein, his associations with self-professed Mossad asset George Webb, and apply all of this information to his behavior in 2024 and beyond (stumping & voting for Trump, trust the plan, etc.) it, at best, paints him as a woefully misguided idiot who doesn't understand what is going on and consistently supports the same entities and actors he claims to be against via proxy, and at worst, indicates to me that he is a knowing and malicious contributor to anti-dissident movements pretending to be any legitimate form of rebellion. When it comes to Epstein and the lessons that should be drawn from this, ask yourselves, how often is the average well-intentioned "researcher" genuinely making so many contradictory decisions with his associations, when compared to his words and message?
