Tweet says: “not all founders are rich kids.” Angry mob responds: - “many founders are rich” - “being rich helps you as a founder” - “being not rich makes it harder” All of which have nothing to do with the original tweet.https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1129897694984646657 …

I mean you literally had to edit the original tweet by adding the word “all” to try and prove the mob wrong.

That's not what I read in the "angry mob" (why the derogatory term commonly used to discount the valid responses to pg?) I read: -the founders weren't 'poor'. they had safety nets. -safety nets/social capital r statistically critical to success in startupland, & that's sad

It's classic Silicon Valley tone deaf. His tweet says "Even though A may be predominantly true, I'm going to show you example B as anecdotal counter evidence"
