I know I’ll probably get banned for calling this out but I find it disgusting that silicon valley was crucifying Brian Armstrong for his “no politics at work” stance but now everyone is back to kissing the ring now that he’s made everyone and their grandma millions of dollars.

Almost always when I see a statement of the form "people in group X are doing two contradictory things", it's very likely that it's different people in group X that said those things. You're creating strawmen.

In this case, even if the same person criticized Brian Armstrong then later congratulated him, I don't see the issue. Humans sometimes achieve things, sometimes do controversial things, it's as mundane as it gets.
