It’s silicon valley vs. silicon valley as political fights escalate

Less than an hour after an assailant in Butler, Pennsylvania, tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump this month, David Sacks, a venture capitalist based in San Francisco, directed his anger about the incident toward a former colleague.

“The Left normalized this,” Sacks wrote on the social platform X, linking to a post about Reid Hoffman, a technology investor and major Democratic donor. Sacks implied that Hoffman, a critic of Trump who had funded a lawsuit accusing the former president of rape and defamation, had helped cause the shooting.
