San Francisco’s tech billionaires are fighting over how to deal with the city's homelessness crisis — Here’s what each tech bigwig says about Tuesday's vote on Prop C

On Tuesday, San Franciscans will vote on the controversial Proposition C ballot measure, which would tax the city’s largest corporations to provide more funding to fight homelessness. 

Heated debates between tech executives have been the center of the Prop C story, with Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff leading the charge in favor of the tax. Notable Twitter battles include the slick-haired cloud exec taking on Square CEO Jack Dorsey and Zynga co-founder, Marc Pincus. 

Both Dorsey and Pincus have said they want to help fight homelessness in San Francisco, but don't believe Prop C is the answer. 

Many other tech executives and entrepreneurs across Silicon Valley have made their stances public on Prop C as well. 

Here's a list of those for and against the corporate tax to help fight homelessness in San Francisco:
