Silicon Valley’s congressman has become a lightning rod. He’s just fine with that

# Congressman Ro Khanna is openly backing a controversial plan to tax California's billionaires, and he's not backing down even as wealthy tech leaders threaten to leave the state. He's so serious about understanding the proposal that he personally called a tax expert late at night to discuss the details. The move has made him a polarizing figure in Silicon Valley, but he seems to view the attention as validation rather than a problem.
