Look at Zuck and Musk. Their platforms are still used by millions. It's only "us" that care about the pedigree of our tech founders, most people couldn't care less.

I commend your correct use of “couldn’t care less”. It’s so rare to see people get this one right these days.

they mean it's pretty common to see the less-correct "could care less"

		I’d say entirely incorrect. It means exactly the opposite. I don’t buy the “it’s popular usage now so that makes it right” argument - it’s like saying 4 now equals 5 because more people use 4 to mean 5.

There has to be some reason that so many projects are started by right wing people. Something in their personality that makes them both RW and willing to start lots of projects.

I would argue that right-wing people are now the left-wing people from like 30-40 years ago.

		Don't think so. When did left wing people want remigration?

Right wing thought patterns tend toward believing in oneself; predicating the worth of the individual on their objective behavior or output; valuing individual achievements; and also believing that effort is likely to result in those achievements.

Left wing thought patterns are biased toward less agency, e.g. the individual is a product of the system; systemic discrimination holds people back; one's trauma or neurodivergency is a valid anchor that makes achievements very difficult; failing to achieve is okay and doesn't reduce one's intrinsic value.
