In interviews, Andreessen seems prepared about a few issues: 1. He was snubbed by the Democratic administration when he deserved an audience. Musk feels this, too. When Biden threw some event for unionized electric car makers, Musk was upset that Tesla wasn’t mentioned. Andreessen talks like those were personality-altering moments. 2. So, he says he was welcomed at the table in the Republican Party. I think history will see this as part of a fight for succession. For us as observers, look for insiders with the nebulous skill of holding the Republican coalition together. As of July, money is no object for the SV organ of the party, which has (like Trump) no ideological persuasion on abortion, health care, trans rights, religion, or guns. Look for useful insiders who can manipulate those issues, especially in a way that’s intuitive to the lower class and frustrating to the educated left. 3. Andreessen talks about employees as risky, indoctrinated and subversive; waiting to ideologically undermine the god of profit motive. This is how he answers questions about DEI and immigration. 4. So, even a CEO with merely 100% power over hiring and metrics of accountability, conveniently the only answer must be a purge. This works for Andreessen and Musk and Thiel now, but they’ll need to manipulate their status for assurances during the next purge. One day Trump won’t be able to resist firing the world’s richest man.
