Chuck Darwin<p>It’s Silicon Valley vs. Silicon Valley as Political Fights Escalate</p><p>Elon Musk, Reid Hoffman and other tech billionaires, <br>-- many of whom are part of the “PayPal Mafia,” <br>-- are openly brawling with one another over politics as tensions rise.</p><p>Less than an hour after a gunman in Butler, Pa., tried to assassinate Donald Trump this month, <br>David <a href="https://c.im/tags/Sacks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sacks</span></a>, a venture capitalist based in San Francisco, <br>directed his anger about the incident toward a former colleague.</p><p>“The Left normalized this,” Mr. Sacks wrote on X, linking to a post about Reid <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hoffman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hoffman</span></a>, a technology investor and major Democratic donor. </p><p>Mr. Sacks implied that Mr. Hoffman, a critic of Mr. Trump who had funded a lawsuit accusing the former president of rape and defamation, had helped cause the shooting.</p><p>Elon <a href="https://c.im/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Musk</span></a>, who leads SpaceX and Tesla and previously worked with Mr. Sacks and Mr. Hoffman, <br>then weighed in on X, name-checking Mr. Hoffman and saying people like him “got their dearest wish.”</p><p>In Silicon Valley, the spectacle of tech billionaire attacking tech billionaire has suddenly exploded, <br>as pro-Trump executives and their Democratic counterparts have openly turned on each other. </p><p>The brawling has spilled into public view online, at conferences and on podcasts, <br>as debates about the country’s future have turned into personal broadsides.</p><p>The animus has pit those who once worked side by side and attended each other’s weddings against one another, <br>fraying friendships and alliances that could shift Silicon Valley’s power centers. </p><p>The fighting has been particularly acute among the 🔸“PayPal Mafia,” 🔸<br>a wealthy group of tech executives <br>— including Mr. Hoffman, Mr. Musk, Mr. Sacks and the investor Peter <a href="https://c.im/tags/Thiel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Thiel</span></a> <br>— who worked together at the online payments company in the 1990s <br>and later founded their own companies or turned into high-profile investors.</p><p>Other tech leaders have also been pulled into the political spats, including Vinod <a href="https://c.im/tags/Khosla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Khosla</span></a>, a prominent investor, and Marc <a href="https://c.im/tags/Andreessen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Andreessen</span></a> and Ben <a href="https://c.im/tags/Horowitz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Horowitz</span></a> of the Silicon Valley venture firm Andreessen Horowitz.</p><p>Their unabashed vitriol is stark. </p><p>While tech leaders often criticize one another in private, <br>they rarely do so publicly for fear of upsetting a potential deal partner or future job prospect.</p><p>“Until a year or two ago, there was something like an <a href="https://c.im/tags/omert%C3%A0" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>omertà</span></a> in Silicon Valley,” said Roger McNamee, <br>a Silicon Valley venture capitalist, using a word popularized by the Italian mafia for a code of silence. </p><p>“People had fights all the time and leaders would disagree, but you wouldn’t disagree in public.”<br><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/29/technology/silicon-valley-politics-elon-musk-reid-hoffman.html?unlocked_article_code=1.-00.mbMn.lcxJeRZWmP_6&amp;smid=nytcore-ios-share&amp;referringSource=articleShare" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nytimes.com/2024/07/29/technol</span><span class="invisible">ogy/silicon-valley-politics-elon-musk-reid-hoffman.html?unlocked_article_code=1.-00.mbMn.lcxJeRZWmP_6&amp;smid=nytcore-ios-share&amp;referringSource=articleShare</span></a></p>
