A comment on Proposition C.

More context: Jack Dorsey (on behalf of Square) explicitly called out Stripe this morning over the issue: https://twitter.com/jack/status/1053312141657178112

EDIT: I misinterpreted the thread: see comments below. Although Stripe's response was likely correlated to it.

To me, it looks like he's doing the exact opposite and is agreeing with Stripe.

"Companies like Square and Stripe would be taxed at a significantly larger total contribution than much larger companies like Salesforce."

Your context is inaccurate. Square and Stripe are both opposed to the tax, and Jack was continuing making comments against it just as this blog does.

It's Marc Benioff, from Salesforce, that has been calling both of them out.
