• Like most faux-populists these days, he has stellar common-man credentials: a bachelor’s degree from Harvard, a J.D. from Yale Law, hedge-fund investment partner and biotech bro, who was worth $15 million before graduating from law school. (As of April, Forbes claims he’s worth $630 million.)

  • In one of his books, he supported inheritance tax rates as high as 59 percent, which rural Iowans know less fondly as “the death tax.”

  • Though he’s now posing as God’s gift to Republicans, he’s registered as “unaffiliated” in Ohio, where he lives, and has never even voted for a Republican nationally until backing Trump in 2020.

  • Campaign finance records show him giving money to Democrats instead, including a state senate candidate in Massachusetts with long-time Obama-administration ties who’d been endorsed by conservative darling, Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

  • While chief executive of Roivant Sciences and Axovant Sciences, he signed a joint 2017 letter that was created by the Massachusetts Biotechnology Council calling for “driving diversity and inclusion” in the industry.
