Silicon Valley - don't become like Toronto.

Cutting off opposing viewpoints leads to extremism and will not get us the country we want

In a series of tweets Sunday night, Y Combinator president Sam Altman spelled out both his distaste for Trump — “an unacceptable threat to America” — and his backing for Thiel, who is both Altman’s friend and a “part-time partner” at Y Combinator.

Altman was responding to a new wave of criticism directed at Thiel, after Thiel announced he would donate $1.25 million to Trump’s campaign. Thiel had previously repulsed much of Silicon Valley by backing Trump and speaking at the Republican National Convention.

Some critics have called on Y Combinator, the incubator that has helped launch tech giants like Airbnb and Dropbox, to cut ties with Thiel in the wake of Thiel’s announcement.

But Altman said that wouldn’t happen. Y Combinator is “not going to fire someone for supporting a major party nominee,” he tweeted. “That’s a dangerous road to start down.”

Well done Sam Altman.

Donald Trump is just an idiot. Not a monster.

Also I love Thiel.

He's allowed to support a 1000 Donald Trumps if he wants to.
