This got boosted by Elon. Garry Tan was reposted by Oakland report. For whatever reason, they need Oakland and can’t have it.

More money than the entire American anti-capitalist left and its institutions, top to bottom
We obtained documents detailing the abundance movement's "capital stack." It's $260 million/year, including $100 million from former Microsoft CEO/LA Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, who hadn't been listed as an abundance donor before. prospect.org/2026/06/12/new-…

As the leaked documents demonstrate, the abundance project is orchestrated by Silicon Valley elites—they even use the word “elite” by choice. prospect.org/?p=139690

Why does the Abundance Network hate democracy? The Silicon Valley billionaires funding it are the same ones funding @MajorityDems, the group trying to push Democrats to the right nationwide. "'Small dollar internet fundraising makes politics dumber.' ...Lamenting the current state of democratized influence, Rosen says 'the old gatekeepers were political professionals who could count cards; small dollar donors today are amateurs yanking the handles of ActBlue slot machines.'"

An accompanying historical document bemoans public participation in politics, claims that elites drove all the advances of the Progressive Era, and views the rebellion against elites as a problem comparable to cities on fire. prospect.org/2026/06/12/new-…

In new reporting for @TheProspect, we detail internal documents from Bay Area abundance groups pitch the movement to tech elites as a way to take control of Democratic politics and describe a 9-figure funding stream from billionaires. (1/2)
