The concerns about the Biden-Harris administration's mission to concentrate power in the federal government were confirmed by Marc Andreessen, the billionaire investor and co-founder of the influential Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz.

Although a longtime Democratic supporter, Andreessen reportedly shifted his allegiance to Donald Trump after what he described as an “alarming” meeting with Biden administration officials.

This shift highlights a growing trend of Silicon Valley executives aligning with MAGA, puzzling many media commentators. As more industry leaders voice concerns about the administration's alleged push to socialize key sectors, the prospect of a second Trump term is increasingly framed as an freedom intervention.

"We had meetings [Biden officials] this spring that were the most alarming meetings I've ever been in. Where they were taking us through their plans, and it was - basically just full government - full government control - like this sort of thing, there will be a small number of large companies that will be completely regulated and controlled by the government, they told us. They said don't even start startups - there's just no way that they can succeed - there's no way that we're going to permit that to happen."

In mid-July, Axios reported that Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz had donated to President-elect Trump's campaign. At the time, their support was attributed to Trump's pro stance on crypto and AI regulation. It's another telling example of just how far-left Democrats in the White House spooked Silicon Valley heavy hitters, such as Elon Musk.

Back to the podcast, Rogan asked Andreessen: "When you leave a meeting like that, what do you do?"

Andreessen responded: "You endorse Donald Trump."
