Amid concerns over the Biden administration's regulation of the crypto industry, billionaire tech investor Marc Andreessen, a longtime Democrat, donated more than $5 million to groups supporting Trump ahead of the 2024 election.

Since then, he's gotten what he called for: a hollowed-out Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

@ProPublica "paying off for Silicon Valley" == "paying off for the tech boss billionaires of Silicon Valley"

Not for anyone else here

@ProPublica
So he wasn't a Democrat but an opportunist?

@ProPublica For those who don't know, he co-created Netscape Navigator, the first commercial Web browser. That's most of his contribution to humanity, though he sees himself as some kind of Galt-like shaman visionary of Tha Fute-chur, his godlike wisdom leading us away from darkness and into the light. When he became a stupid-sounding right-wing douchebag is unclear, but it's apparently linked to his equally stupid love of crypto.

@ProPublica it's incredible how hard it is to fit the entirety of that massively egg-shaped dome on screen without cropping parts of it to keep his ugly smugness centered

@ProPublica. 11/05/25 NYC. This NEEDS investigation. Who is doing this and what is the chemical composition of these particles? Why are meteorologists quiet about what they see happening in the sky????

@ProPublica

America, make sure that these corrupt AF criminal fascists like Andreessen, Thiel et al will be held accountable and their fates be a warning to every future wannabe oligarch in the US.

@ProPublica innovation: a phalanx of personal finance apps with varying ways to extract fees that have been regulated out of existence for real banks.

@ProPublica I remember when he invented Mosaic and Netscape. He was thought to be a champion of free information exchange. My how money brings out the true ICEholes.
