Seems odd in his tweet he noted he was unable to get funding in the valley for Brave. The guy created JavaScript and was a creator of Firefox. Don't get it ..as JS alone has contributed like how much to world economies, as well to almost every HN reader's wallet/bank.

If it wasn't obvious from my tweet, in a thread on "cancel culture", many valley investors were scared of being mobbed if they invested in me.

Yes once learning the back story via the comments here it's clearer/obvious.

Maybe I should delete my comment too...seems a lot of HN members in this thread did the same once you popped in ...lol
