For additional context: These PayPal guys are very much contra Google and YC (Sam/pg).

I know Elon fucked Brin's wife and is currently fighting with Altman over the OpenAI fortune, but is there actually any broader beef there?

Sacks and PG don't see eye to eye. There is some beef there. PG is a big Altman supporter. To be fair he also thinks highly of Musk as a founder, but does not agree with his politics.

It would seem to me, there is larger rift developing in SV between the YC clique and the AllIn podcast gang.
