Silicon Valley venture capital pioneer Tom Perkins —co-founder of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers — is persona non grata for his comments that wealthy Americans are being victimized and persecution like the Jews in Nazi Germany.
Perkins, 82, wrote in the Wall Street Journal a letter to the editor published Friday:
"Regarding your editorial "Censors on Campus" (Jan. 18): Writing from the epicenter of progressive thought, San Francisco, I would call attention to the parallels of fascist Nazi Germany to its war on its "one percent," namely its Jews, to the progressive war on the American one percent, namely the "rich."
Kleiner Perkins said its co-founder's views were not the views of the firm.
"Tom Perkins has not been involved in KPCB for years," the Menlo Park, California-based VC firm posted on Twitter. "We were shocked by his views expressed today in the WSJ and do not agree."
Perkins was still listed as a partner emeritus on the firm's website Saturday.
"Maybe it's time for KP to shorter its name to K?" wrote Mark Suster, a partner for Upfront Ventures on his Twitter account.
Silicon Valley VC Marc Andreessen, the 42-year-old co-founder of Menlo Park neighbor Andreessen Horowitz, said on Twitter to "express my extreme displeasure with Tom Perkins."
