Trump Vs. Biden: Tech Policy
Trump, Biden, Marc Andreessen, Ben Horowitz
Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz publicly endorse Donald Trump over Joe Biden, arguing that the current administration's hostile regulatory stance toward cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence, and venture capital threatens the future of American innovation and national security.

Citing the recent assassination attempt on Trump as a demonstration of the unique leadership required for this era, the venture capitalists conclude that the "little tech" ecosystem faces an existential crisis under current policies that necessitates a 180-degree strategic shift.
