An affiliate of the exchange Crypto.com gave $10 million, while the #crypto services company Blockchain.com donated $5 million. The venture capitalists #MarcAndreessen & #BenHorowitz, who are heavily invested in crypto, gave $3 million each.
#OndoFinance, which has a partnership with the #Trump family’s crypto company, donated $2.1 million to #MAGA Inc., on top of $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.

The #money raised by #MAGA Inc. during the first 6 months of the year is almost 2X the amount collected by the #RNC, which is subject to contribution limits. #JeffreyYass donated $16 million to the super #PAC & #BenHorowitz & #MarcAndreessen combined to donate an additional $11 million. His group also collected several seven-figure contributions from #crypto companies, an industry that #Trump has embraced, & $5 million from a crypto entity co-founded by the #OpenAI chief #SamAltman.

#Trump’s super #PAC is sitting on about $200 million that it can spend against his rivals, giving a term-limited president a never-before-seen amount of #power in his party’s finances and future.
In the first half of 2025, Trump’s group, #MAGA Inc., collected about $177 million from the likes of #ElonMusk, Trump’s erstwhile ally, the #TikTok investor #JeffreyYass & the #SiliconValley execs #BenHorowitz & #MarcAndreessen, according to a filing on Thursday with the #FEC.

Optimism is good. Delusion isn't.
In public procurement, hiding problems helps no one.
As Ben Horowitz said: “A brain can’t solve a problem it doesn’t know about.”
Lead with transparency.

another day, another AI scam backed by #MarcAndreessen's #a16z.
> "TechCrunch learned that multiple companies with logos on #11x's website were not actual customers and that at least one is threatening legal action over it.”
When a company lies about something so public and so easily verifiable it begs the question: what else are they lying about?
Andreessen is running #DOGE with #ElonMusk. These are the kind of people who run the US government now.

Venture Capital’s Plan for the Presidency:
(This will absolutely continue even if Trump and Elon are taken out of the picture)
A small group of Silicon Valley venture capitalists – most prominent among them Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, and Elon Musk – have compromised and captured America’s highest offices. JD Vance, the vice president, is a venture capitalist funded by Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen. These parties funneled hundreds of millions of dollars into the election through personal donations and crypto super PACs, as well as the $44 billion purchase of Twitter. Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter also had backing from Andreessen Horowitz and Larry Ellison.

now that the $1.4 billion worth of crypto stolen from #Bybit is being laundered through #MarcAndreessen / #a16z’s Uniswap (so North Korea can continue to fund its nuclear weapons program), I figured it would be a good time to repost this explanation of how the last massive pile of stolen crypto was also laundered through Marc Andreessen’s Uniswap.
tl;dr there are no incentives in a16z's business model to dissuade north korea (or whoever) from laundering stolen crypto. in fact quite the opposite - a16z and Marc Andreessen massively profits from the popularity of its money laundering service.
"investing" in crypto is literally investing in crime.

a bro from the largest american crypto VC firm #a16z is going to be running the #CFTC which in turn will be the agency "regulating" crypto now that the #SEC (also now run by crypto bros) has decided cryptocurrency is not a "security" (like a share of stock or a bond) but instead a "commodity" (like corn or pork bellies). which makes sense, as long as you don't think about it.
fun fact: the CFTC was the agency that regulated (and still regulates) financial derivatives and is more or less directly responsible for 2008's Great Financial Crisis and the Great Recession.

Marc Andreessen's #a16z has released a wish list for american financial regulations. my comments in parentheses:
1. no more surveillance and #debanking (of fraudsters and terrorists)
2. tokenize stocks (to make the #SEC and all financial regulations obsolete, as well as legalizing #memecoins like #TrumpCoin)
3. create decentralized #stablecoin dollar equivalents (to strip the US govt of its hegemonic currency power)
4. #StrategicBitcoinReserve (to transfer hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars into the hands of a16z)
5. no taxes on crypto bros
I suspect all of these will be made official policy.

@jaykuo p.s. every single one of these tech broligarchs who backed trump was either already indicted by the DOJ or SEC or was about to be (or their companies were). this is especially true of #MarcAndreessen and #BenHorowitz (#a16z) and #BrianArmstrong (#Coinbase) but it's really true of all of them.

#MarcAndreessen's over on #TheFreePress talking about criminally prosecuting people who worked for the Biden administration again. Currently listening to him rant ca. 1:37:00 but it comes up more than once.
He makes a lot of other outlandish claims about things like #censorship and #AI that I'm not personally 100% certain are outright lies like the many things he said on #JoeRogan... but I certainly suspect a lot of them are lies.
-
@pluralistic i wrote a deep dive into one particular case (#a16z / #MarcAndreessen / #BenHorowitz) but I think it's broadly descriptive.
tl;dr they want to continue profiting from breaking the law.

the #CiceroInstitute, which is lobbying states to #criminalize #homelessness, & the University of Austin, which he has described as an antidote to universities that have been overtaken by “radical, far-left ideologues.”
Others, like the venture capitalists #MarcAndreessen & #BenHorowitz, were Democrats troubled by the changing climate for #tech investors.

American #Plutocracy or #Kleptocracy 🤔
Your choiceSilicon Valley is maximizing profit at everyone's expense.
A public battle has broken out among the titans of #SiliconValley. One side, led by Elon #Musk, #PayPal co-founder Peter #Thiel and venture capitalists Marc #Andreessen and #BenHorowitz, is backing Donald #Trump for president. The other, led by #LinkedIn co-founder #ReidHoffman, is behind #KamalaHarris.
We should not make the mistake of thinking this is a battle over ideology or policy. It’s a battle to maximize Silicon Valley’s profits regardless of the consequences for society.

#OpenSea, the place you buy and sell monkey JPGs & #Trump NFTs, is (almost certainly) about to be charged by the #SEC. Its the latest in a long line of companies in the portfolio of #Trump converts/megadonors #MarcAndreessen and #BenHorowitz to be indicted.
This is why these #billionaires are backing Trump (see my 📌 toot for more).
Their (mostly crypto & AI) venture capital firm #AndreessenHorowitz/#a16z also backed disasters like:
1. the "let's exploit Filipinos" #AxieInfinity game
2. the recently arrested #BitClout
3. #NorthKorea's favorite money laundry #Uniswap(A "Wells Notice" is a private letter the SEC sends to say "we're about to indict you, any last words?". Very rarely a co. can talk their way out of trouble but never as far as I'm aware has any co. that made its notice public ever managed to do so.)
