“# Bitcoin billionaire set to run for California governor <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Early Bitcoin investor and industry proponent Chamath Palihapitiya has signaled a potential run for the position of California governor.<\/p>\n

The CEO of venture capital firm Social<\/a> Capital, Chamath Palihapitiya, app<\/a>eared to announce his intentions in a Tweet on January 26. The post linked to his new website with a number of promises for the U.S. state including massive tax cuts, an increase for teacher\u2019s salaries, the end of student loans, and a handout for new births.<\/p>\n

Palihapitiya appears to be gearing up for the 2022 Gubernatorial race or potentially for a special election, though no specifics were provided beyond his intentions to get involved politically.<\/p>\n

The billionaire businessman has also joined efforts to force a recall vote for the current California governor Gavin News<\/a>om which would lead to a special election later in 2021 according to reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A growing number of Californians have been displeased with Newsom\u2019s performance in the position, especially when it comes to inconsistent shutdowns and a slow-moving Covid-19 vaccine rollout.<\/p>\n
