Garry Tan, the CEO of Y Combinator, came under fire for a drunken online tirade where he wished a slow death upon seven San Francisco supervisors. In a now-deleted post on X (formerly Twitter), Tan expressed his anger towards these individuals in explicit terms. The named supervisors condemned Tan’s comments, calling them violent and unacceptable. Tan later apologized, stating that he was referencing a rap lyric but acknowledged that it was still inappropriate. Tan has a reputation for having a short temper and blocking thousands of individuals on social media. Despite this controversy, Tan remains actively involved in moderate political causes and has made significant donations to campaigns and political action committees.
