Billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya announces a potential run for California governor

Chamath Palihapitiya, billionaire investor and CEO of venture capital firm Social Capital, announced new details about a potential run for California governor on Tuesday.

Palihapitiya, a Sri Lankan-born Canadian American and former Facebook employee, tweeted about his intentions to run on Twitter, saying "It's on. #RecallGavinNewsom" with a link to a "Chamath for California Governor" campaign website.

Palihapitiya could be running for the 2022 Gubernatorial race or potentially for a special election, though outside of his tweets and website there has not been any official announcement. It does not appear that any political forms have been submitted yet by Palihapitiya to the California Secretary of State.

While current California Governor Newsom has not yet confirmed plans to run for governor again in 2022, in his initial tweet Palihapitiya showed his support for a movement that has been sweeping Silicon Valley - Rescue California.
