Resignation from Salesforce Foundation Over National Guard Comments

Conway resigned from the Salesforce Foundation board in protest after Marc Benioff suggested the National Guard should be used to clear homeless encampments, a rhetoric Conway associated with aggressive enforcement policies often championed by the right.

Notes: While local, the resignation reflects his stance against militarized domestic enforcement.

Agent rationale

This action demonstrates a willingness to sever high-profile ties over disagreements with 'law and order' rhetoric that mirrors MAGA-style domestic policy.

Public Break with Crypto PACs Over Support for MAGA-Aligned Candidates

Conway reportedly cut ties with a group of crypto super PACs (Fairshake) after they funded campaigns against Democrats like Sherrod Brown. He expressed being 'blindsided' by the group's shift toward supporting candidates aligned with Donald Trump's platform.

Notes: Conway was a founding donor of the Fairshake PAC before the rift.

Agent rationale

Conway's explicit rejection of a PAC because it supported MAGA-aligned interests demonstrates a clear ideological boundary against the movement.

Support for Government Intervention in SVB Collapse

Conway was a leading voice among VCs calling for a federal 'bailout' or backstop during the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, a position that drew criticism from MAGA-aligned figures who viewed it as corporate welfare for liberal elites.

Agent rationale

Advocacy for Silicon Valley to Oppose Trump's Immigration Policies

Conway has publicly urged Silicon Valley leaders to keep their 'eyes wide open' regarding Donald Trump's policies, particularly criticizing the administration's stance on immigration reform and the travel ban.

Lobbying for Gun Control and Immigration Reform

Conway co-founded Fwd.us and has been a vocal advocate for gun control and DACA protections, positions that directly conflict with the MAGA platform's emphasis on the Second Amendment and border enforcement.

Instruction to Portfolio CEOs to Mobilize Voters Against Right-Wing Policies

In 2015, Conway issued a voting guide to his portfolio companies, instructing CEOs to encourage employees to vote for candidates supporting tech-friendly, liberal urban policies, often in opposition to conservative challengers.

Notes: While pre-2016, it established his 'political boss' persona in SF against conservative shifts.

Agent rationale

Using his economic leverage to influence voting behavior toward liberal candidates shows a proactive approach to political alignment.
