🧵 Meanwhile, when Paxton announced in early 2025, there were rumors that Tim Dunn adamantly opposed the idea (which we later confirmed). Sixteen months later, he doesnt appear to have given a single dollar in direct funding to Paxton - a stunning break given the stakes + their 15-year relationship.
