Is Paul giving himself a pass for the companies he funds?

I read it more like he's considering what to throw his money at, and it sounds like he wants to throw his money at companies that make good new things.

With his multiple endorsements of MAGA I fear his definition of "good" is severley warped. Is ensuring the poor don't die of preventable diseases good? Not to this guy.

Yeah, this feels like an attempt to (partially preemptively?) rehabilitate his image/legacy more than anything. If he makes a blog saying how important it is to "make good new things", then surely everything he makes is a good new thing! No need to look further to see what he actually supports.
