The guy is backed by Peter Thiel and managed a hedge fund. He thinks that Griswald should be overturned. In what possible world could you see him as moderate on social or fiscal issues. This is a joke

Not sure what managing a hedge fund says about his economic views, unless he's planning to manage a hedge fund while in office. (He's not.) All this means is he has enough money to think for himself (or for Thiel), unlike most donor-reliant politicians.

Masters is Thiel's willing muppet.

From Wikipedia:
Quote
After meeting Thiel, Masters went to work for him, becoming chief operating officer of the Thiel Capital hedge fund and president of the Thiel Foundation.[12][13] Thiel chose Masters and other employees to assist in the presidential transition of Donald Trump in November 2016.[14][15] In October 2019, Masters suggested he would launch a primary challenge against Republican U.S. Senator Martha McSally, expressing concern McSally was not a good candidate and criticizing her loss in the 2018 election, which Masters said was a "winnable" race.[16] In January 2020, Masters said he would not run.[17] Masters resigned from his positions at Thiel's hedge fund and foundation in 2022, during his Senate campaign

This is like Eric Holder, only even more blatant, with a pretty openly anti-democracy billionaire instead of an establishment law firm.
