Sequoia did not pressure Robinhood to halt the trading of any stocks. This rumor is completely false.

Wall Street is melting down over GameStop's price, but was perfectly cool with Tesla's stock going from $60 to $860 in the course of a year after Elon Musk broke both windows of a Tesla truck on stage https://twitter.com/...
