As a YC alum who worked with Gary Tan directly, this is… odd.

Anyone who knows Gary knows he’s a (relatively) gentle human being. I can’t imagine him hurting a fly.

His tweets seem totally out of character compared to the Gary Tan I personally knew. Maybe he has changed?

I’m inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt.

I think the failing here is using Twitter at all - or at least without an intermediary like an editor. Twitter is almost purpose made for stripping context. Tweets are, traditionally, short and pithy and so are easy to misinterpret or misrepresent. If you're even a semi public figure, Tweeting a lot is a huge liability.
