Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, co-founders of venture capital firm a16z, have publicly endorsed Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential election. Despite being a Democrat for most of his life, Andreessen cited Trump's pro-crypto regulation plan as a significant reason for his support, describing it as a 'flat-out blanket endorsement of the entire space'. The endorsement also highlighted concerns over Joe Biden's regulatory policies, including overregulation of AI and the taxation of unrealized capital gains, which they believe stifle innovation and harm startups. Other influential tech figures, including Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, have also shown support for Trump, indicating a potential shift in Silicon Valley's political landscape.
