Naval Ravikant

Endorsed Trump for the 2024 election in September 2024, citing lawfare as the trigger: "It was the lawfare that brought me off the sidelines. It's really disgusting behavior." Said Trump 2024 was better than 2016 because he's now surrounded by "incredibly competent people" like Elon Musk instead of neocons.

Declared "Go woke, go broke" and argued that DEI and wokeism "have done more to deepen poverty than capitalism ever has." Said identity politics are regressive: "You should have to prove yourself in every instance." Praised Trump and Musk's pushback against DEI-focused institutions.

Naval Ravikant has investments in Israeli startups through AngelList, notably StarkWare in Netanya. He spoke at the Milken Institute Middle East and Africa Summit 2023 alongside Israeli officials. Unlike peers such as Rabois and Tan, Naval has not made public statements about the October 2023 conflict on X; his activity on the platform has been largely philosophical rather than political.
