      The "Y Combinator crowd?" What does he even mean? The partners? The alumni? Hacker News users? Though in all 3 cases I'd guess this mysterious "overlap" is the same: We've read some of Scott's essays and thought they were well-written. Boy is this going to be a boring article.pic.twitter.com/XexQVtnmLl

      Unless they start making things up of course. A sinister trilateralist conspiracy, using an obscure protocol said to be popular with techies called SMTP... (This screenshot was from a conversation between the reporter and @webdevMason.)

          Paul Graham is known to be associated with MUDs, widely considered to be hotbeds for elven extremism.

          You know the kind of work @elonmusk does and the haters he has. Just like that YC...

          There is a true article waiting to be written on "look at this connected graph of powerful people and evil people". E.g. Scott cites Curtis approvingly. In a better world this wouldn't be a story, but in 2020 it might be.
