The main practical problem for him now career-wise is that he's seen as leftist (a label which already kinda only makes sense in the context of how far the rightward shift in the US has been until relatively recently) so he'll probably be held accountable for this.
If you are sufficiently right-coded like Lex Fridman you can get away with this sort of thing forever.

Interesting point, and I tend to agree. People really require integrity from anyone perceived to be on the left, whereas you can be as disgusting as you want on the right and it won't hurt you even a bit. Works in politics too.
