Shaun Maguire posted that media attention on his X activity and perceived hierarchy at Sequoia Capital makes him sad. He described the firm as a partnership of exceptional people who disagree vigorously yet build and win together, adding that such tension creates magic. Beff Jezos replied that he was glad Sequoia had not turned its back on a partner facing online heat, calling it resistance to woke mob pressure, and wrote that founders might lose confidence if the firm had caved. Maguire replied to the post with a heart emoji.
