This is Part 6 of my series on Saving America. It’s about how the NWO-controlled Obama-Biden-Harris Administration has been quietly debanking and deplatforming many people simply because they post things they disagree with, buy crypto or want to use AI for good. This is a whole side of the election equation that nobody in the media has really talked about in-depth until now - except me.
As I suggested in Part One of my series last August - this is the reason many Big Tech leaders (Team of Rivals) have decided to join with Trump to fight the NWO puppet masters.
Mark Andreessen was the co-creator of Mosaic, the first widely used web browser, the co-founder of Netscape and the co-founder of the Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. He is one of the most outspoken voices on the future of technology, including his most recent article, Why AI Will Save the World.
Andreessen gave a 3-hour interview to Joe Rogan and covered many topics. I transcribed the interview and pulled out his most important points (30 minutes read time) about what has REALLY BEEN GOING ON behind the scenes the last 4 years. THIS IS REALLY WORTH YOUR TIME.
Andreessen started by giving us a simple explanation of what Artificial Intelligence (AI) really is. What is AI in layman’s terms?
ANDREESSEN: The internet itself incorporates television and radio and books and essays and every other form of media. [It is basically a compilation of all human thought and activity.]
AI is basically the next step in the internet - the internet provides the content for AI and then AI would manipulate that content however you want.
[Remember that last sentence. Humans create AI to manipulate content. AI does not manipulate content by itself - it is NOT some sentient being. There are many people out there who want to convince you that’s not true. They want you to think that AI is the next evolution of humanity and has a mind of it’s own.]
AI is simply converting the content of the internet into something that's interpretable by, and usable by, machine. You don't need to rewrite the content of the internet to make it interpretable by a machine - the machine can compute the meaning if you give it instructions.
Basically, AI is doing a sophisticated form of search. You can ask the same question multiple times or you can ask slightly different order of questions and AI will search down different paths to give you different answers to different questions.
Who gets to tell you what AI can and can't do? That’s the big question.
You can tell AI to produce tension between users or become hostile toward each other or not trust each other. It can do that. You can steer it and teach it to lie about another. Or you can steer it to be honest and create unity. Whoever programs the AI controls the outcome. The underlying data is all the same.
You can even steer AI to be sentimental and emotional and hallucinate. Meaning, to come up with things that are totally not true but sound true.
Suppose you had AI in the 1600s and Galileo came up for trial. If you asked AI, is Galileo right? Does the earth revolve around the sun? What would AI answer as it works today? AI would have answered NO back then because ALL human thought up to that point believed that he was wrong. The data that AI drew from was collective human thought and it was ALL WRONG.
AI also draws from collective human thought today and whoever controls that input and the manipulation of that input - would also control the output.
The future of AI is impossible to forecast. The wild west is still out there. People got the internet wrong too. [As I said in Part One - BlackRock originally thought that AI would be lower functioning so they BET ON CHINA TO WIN the AI race - and against Trump. They were wrong. That’s why they are backtracking.]
When Trump got shot, that was the inflection point - the moment where the world could have headed in two totally different directions. It could have gone horrifically badly for the entire world if he had died - a totalitarian dystopian nightmare. A bad place. A crazy world.
Trump survived and now we have the real potential here for a new Golden Age.
The way the Trump administration is going to approach the economy, they want less regulation. They want tariffs and less regulation. And they want more reliance on U.S. energy. They want to drill more, more natural gas, more fracking, more drilling for oil, and then allow companies to work without regulations inhibiting their performance. This will boost the economy. You'll have more productivity. You will have more American manufacturing.
Trump knows that we need faster growth. Because if you grow faster, then your economy can catch up to the debt, and you can pay down the debt as you grow. And so they want to go for a higher rate of growth.
The other thing that Trump wants is for America to win. America has to win in business and in technology and in industry, globally. US companies should be the ones that win these broad, global markets and set the global standard. How can anybody be against that? I happen to think that makes a lot of sense.
By the way, if you are in favor of a high level of social support, if you want there to be lots of welfare programs and food assistance programs, I would argue you also want that because it's the growth that will pay for all the social programs. That's how you square the circle. That's how you actually have your cake and eat it too. Set up all the programs you want, all the safety nets you want. As long as it's easy to pay for because you're growing so fast, then everybody wins.
This was one of the big fears that people had about letting illegal immigrants into the country and moving them to swing states, which clearly happened, and also giving them a bunch of benefits, which clearly happened. Money, food stamps, housing, all that happened. Stuff that wasn't available to veterans, stuff that wasn't available to homeless people, wasn't available to the very poor of this country. All of a sudden people who came here illegally got those things.
Look, if I was living in a third world country with a family and I knew that I could come to America and I could get a job, an actual job and make money and my family's going to definitely eat, I'll vote for whoever the fuck you want me to vote for. I don't care. My life is infinitely better than it was in this totalitarian shithole that I was in until I walked here. I'll do whatever you want. I just want my family to survive and I think everything's going to... It's so much better than where I was if I'm in some war torn part of the world.
Democrats gave me an EBT card and I'm staying at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City and I get a flight somewhere else if I want to go there Oh, this is wonderful, right?
So that's how it starts and there is a lot of that going on but I will say what's one of the things that's interesting is it doesn't necessarily stick that way. And the sort of evidence for that is the sort of dramatic ramp up in the Hispanic vote for Trump. They get it.
Well, Hispanic people generally are very hard workers. So I'll just tell you a quick story on this. So after the night after the 2016 election, literally everybody I knew was just completely traumatized. We were all just completely freaked out. Everybody was shocked. You were freaked out too? Yeah all just like completely freaked out. Everybody was shocked. You were freaked out too?
Yeah, I was completely freaked out. Everybody was freaked out. Like I didn't expect him to win the nomination. I didn't expect him to win the race. Like and then you know, and the media is on like full historical blast and it's the end of the world and he's you know, he's a Russian spy. All this crazy stuff that we now know not to be true. It's just like full on.
So a group of us, a group of us went out to dinner at a restaurant in Palo Alto and you know, and the atmosphere was like a funeral. I mean, everybody in the restaurant was just despondent and ready to slit their wrists. And so we're sitting there eating, and the food doesn't taste good. It's just, I can't taste the food. I can't taste the drinks. Everybody's just depressed.
Wow. And it gets this thing of, my god, I can't believe that Trump, this, that, racist, anti-Hispanic, and all this stuff. And it was one of those moments where the young waiter, who's Hispanic, young man in his 20s, one of those rare moments where he broke into the conversation at the table. Right, but it was in context, it was like, oh, thank God, because we're just depressing ourselves to death, so thank God he's gonna say something.
And he said, you know, I think you guys are looking at it all wrong. He's like, my father thinks Trump is fantastic. My father came here as an immigrant, whatever, 30 years ago, built a life here, became a citizen, bought into the system, pays taxes, like raised a family. Mowing his lawn with a MAGA hat on.
He thinks Trump is great. He thinks Trump is fantastic and he voted for him. He think it is terrible if other people are able to come here, they're to cut in line. They didn't have to go through the process. They didn't have to prove anything. They're not bought into the system, they're not they're not assimilating. They're not becoming part of the you know of what makes America America.
I grew up in rural Wisconsin, which is now like completely Trump country.
Somehow between the ages of like 18 and 40 or whatever, I just like forgot and I became a Californian. I became, I became a fully assimilated Californian. And I was just like, well, of course the Californians are much more sophisticated and advanced than people, you know, where I came from. And so of course, of course, of course everybody in California has it figured out. And of course, California is going to lead, lead the country in all this thinking. Right. And, Trump 2016 was the wake-up call for me.
I started to actually read my way back in history. And I actually went all the way back. I tried to read of like where where the origins of left-wing thought came from, and then communism, and how did that evolve. I just started talking to a lot more people.
I just stopped assuming that because I read it in the New York Times that it was true. Hillary gets up there and she says Trump is only president today because Vladimir Putin hacked Facebook and made him the president right and I'm sitting in the audience and I'm on the Facebook board and I'm like, that's not true. I know for an absolute fact that that's not true. She was lying. It was, it was delusion.
For example, we have this thing called the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, CFPB, which is sort of Elizabeth Warren's personal agency that she gets to control. And it's an independent agency that just gets to run and do whatever it wants, right? And if you read the Constitution, like there is no such thing as independent agency, and yet there it is.
What does her agency do? Whatever she wants. What does it do though? Basically, terrorize financial institutions, prevent new competition, new startups that want to compete with the big banks.
How so? Just terrorizing anybody who tries to do anything new in financial services. Debanking. This is where a lot of the debanking comes from, is these agencies. So debanking is when you as either a person or your company are literally kicked out of the banking system. Like they did to Kanye.
Exactly, like they did to Kanye, my partner Ben's father has been debanked. Really? For what? For having the wrong politics. For saying unacceptable things. Under current banking regulations, after all the reforms of the last 20 years, there's now a category called a politically exposed person, PEP. And if you are a PEP, you are required by financial regulators to kick them off, to kick them out of your bank. What? You're not allowed to have them. But what if you're politically on the left? That's fine.
[Reminder - I was censored by Facebook, Twitter and NewsGuard & then they contacted my payment provider & told them I was spreading fake news. It happens to us little conservatives also.]
No one on the left gets debanked. I have not heard of a single instance of anyone on the left getting debanked.
David Horowitz is, you know, he's pro-Trump. I mean, he's said all kinds of things. You know, he's been very anti-Islamic terrorism. He's been very worried about immigration, all these things. And they debanked him for that. Yeah, they debanked him. So you get kicked out of your bank account. You get kicked out of the, you can't do credit card transactions. This is where the government and the companies get intertwined. There's a constitutional amendment that says the government can't restrict your speech, but there's no constitutional amendment that says the government can't debank you, right? FASCISM.
And so they, if they can't do the one thing, they do the other thing, and then they don't have to debank you. They just have to put pressure on the private company banks to do it. And then the private company banks do it because they're expected to But the government gets to say we didn't do it - it was the private company that did it.
It's a privatized sanctions regime that lets bureaucrats do to American citizens the same thing that we do to Iran. Kick you out of the financial system. And so this has been happening to all the crypto entrepreneurs in the last four years. This has been happening to a lot of the finance & tech entrepreneurs, anybody trying to start any kind of new banking service because they're trying to protect the big banks.
And then this has been happening, by the way, also in legal fields of economic activity that they don't like. And so a lot of this started about 15 years ago with this thing called Operation ChokePoint, where they decided to debank legal businesses.
Under the Obama administration, they started to debank legal marijuana businesses and gun shops and gun manufacturers. You’re done. You're out of the banking system. And so if you're running a medical marijuana dispensary in 2012 - guess what you're doing your business all in cash. Because you literally can't get a bank account. You can't get a visa terminal. You can't process transactions. You can't do payroll. You can't do direct deposit. You can't get insurance.
Then the Obama-Harris-Biden administration extended that concept to apply it to tech founders, crypto founders, and then just generally political opponents.
Operation ChokePoint 2.0 is primarily against their political enemies and then to their disfavored tech startups. And it's hit the tech world hard. We've had like 30 founders debanked in the last four years.
[In Melania’s book, she wrote that her bank shut down her account and told Barron he couldn’t open an account either. They also debanked Trump & DJT Jr. as well - that’s why DJT Jr. started investigating crypto and Ben Carson started his own bank called OLD GLORY.]
[Since Andreessen’s interview and Melania’s book - HUNDREDS of people on X have come out to tell their stories of being debanked and deplatformed. You can go there and search for their stories yourself. Many are highlighted on Andreessen’s X feed.]
ANDREESEN: It's been a big recurring pattern. This is one of the reasons why we ended up supporting Trump. We just can't live in this world. We can't live in a world where somebody starts a company that's a completely legal thing, and then they literally get sanctioned, right, and embargoed by the United States government through a completely unaccountable, no, by the way, no due process. None of this is written down. There's no rules. There's no court. There's no decision process. There's no appeal. Who do you appeal to, right? Like who do you go to to get your bank account back?
ANDREESSEN: And then there's also the civil asset forfeiture side of it, which is the other side. That doesn't happen to us, but that happens to people in a lot of places now who get arrested and all of a sudden the state takes their money. Yes. That happens to people if they get pulled over and they have a large amount of cash in safe deposit boxes and the next thing you know the the feds have seized all the contents of the safe deposit boxes and that that stuff never gets returned. There's no defined law that covers this and [Trump knows how big a problem it is and wants to end it.]
You can't go sue a regulator to fix this. It's not through any kind of court judgment. It's just raw power by the Deep State. It's just raw administrative power. It's the government or politicians just deciding that things are going to be a certain way, and then they just apply pressure until they get it.
So what happens to those tech people that are debanked? So what do they do with their money? I mean, you go to cash. Where do you put it? Under your mattress. you put it? Under your mattress. That is so insane. So if someone has 30 million dollars in the bank and they get debanked. Diamonds, arts, you know, do you, I don't know, go overseas somewhere?
We know the politicians involved and we know how the agencies work and we know how the pressure is applied and we know that these banks get phone calls and so forth. We understand the flow of power as it happens, but when you're on the receiving end of this, there's nothing you can do about it. There is NO legal remedy.
Think about all the crypto startups in the last, basically, four years. Remember the crypto thing got everybody got excited, the NFTs, and all that stuff. And then it just stopped. And the reason it stopped is because basically every crypto founder, every crypto startup, they either got debanked personally and forced out of the industry or their company got debanked and so it couldn't keep operating or they got prosecuted, charged or they got threatened with being charged.
The SEC has been trying to kill the crypto industry under Obama-Biden-Harris. And this has been a big issue for us because we're the biggest crypto startup investor. The SEC can investigate you, they can subpoena you, they can prosecute you, they can do all these things. But they don't have to do any of those things to really damage you. All they have to do is they issue what's called a Wells notice. And the Wells notice is a notification that you may be charged at some point in the future.
You're on notice that you might be doing something wrong and they might be coming after you at some point in the future. Now trying to be a company with a Wells Notice doing business with anybody else. Try to work with a big company. Try to get access to a bank. Try to do so.
[That's how they get companies to support all these woke initiatives - to support DEI and PRIDE and TRANSGENDERISM and Climate Change] - because the SEC could shut them down if they don’t!]
They do it to individuals who dare to support Trump also. Bring it down and just like crush the individual with no due process.
This is all unconstitutional because the constitution gives us all the right to due process and this is government pressure. So like there's probably a Supreme Court case in five years that's going to find retroactively that this was all illegal. But in the moment when you're the guy who's been debanked, I mean, number one... Right. And then also the potential that if you do challenge them in court and lose, the repercussions…
When Elon and Vivek talk about reducing regulation, you know, there's two ways of thinking about reducing regulation. It's like, the water in the air are going to get dirty and the food's going to get poisoned. Right. Now, some of those regulations, I think, are very important.
But the other way to think about it is examples like this, which is just raw government power being applied to ordinary people who are just trying to live their lives, are just trying to do something legitimate, and they're just on the wrong side of something that the people in power have decided you can’t have.
The trucker strike up in Canada was an even more direct version of this. Step one was they take away your driver's license, step two was take your kids, step three is we’re going to stop your right to protest, step four is we’ll take your trucker’s license and your insurance and your bank account.
They did the same thing to people who DONATED to help the truckers!
Soft totalitarianism, which is just rules and power exercised arbitrarily that just simply suppresses everything. Right, and this is speech control and debanking and all these other things that we've been talking about. The good news is they're not coming up and like beating you up in the middle of the night. The bad news is like you are under their complete control and they can do whatever they want to you that doesn't involve physical violence, which basically includes the entire aspect of, you know, every aspect of how you actually conduct your life and support your family and get an income and everything else. If you try to get these stories out, that itself can get suppressed and the person debanked.
THIS IS ALL PART OF THE SOCIAL CREDIT SCORE SYSTEM - JUST LIKE THEY HAVE IN COMMUNIST CHINA.
FTX was the number two donor to the Democratic Party. His strategy was to invest in the people who could debank him so they wouldn’t come after him. $150 million of that money went to basically just pay politicians with no compliance at all with all the campaign finance regulations that the rest of us all have to comply with. It was illegal. When he was indicted by the US government, they ended up not charging him on campaign finance fraud. Because they'd have to give all the money back? The powers that decide these things in DC decided to not open it. It's like the Epstein client list. There are certain boxes that are better not to open.
Four of the ten wealthiest counties in the country are suburbs of Washington, D.C. Lobbyists, they call beltway bandits. These aren't people working for the government, these are people making money from the government. These are people sponging off the government. What do you think the motivation of all these wealthy people to vote for Kamala Harris was?
It's amazing to be in charge and control society and decide how everything works and decide who's good and who's bad. You want to be in that group to feel good about yourself and it's reinforced by the echo chamber. That’s why you read the New York Times.
The New York Times only has two articles anymore. It's either how evil are Republicans, or how innocent and helpless are, poor, aggrieved minorities, or identity groups. Democrats tell themselves that we're the party of good, with a capital G, because we're taking care of all these poor, marginalized people.
And so it's a very compelling, you feel great about yourself, right? It's just absolutely amazing. And then by the way, it just so happens that the economy is wired up in a way where you're going to pay a ton of money, you're not working very hard. And it's all great. And then you're completely isolated away from the lived experience of just normal people, which is the state that I found myself in, where it would never even occur to you to talk to a garbage man or to somebody running a restaurant or whatever because it's just like you're not affected by the rising crime rates. You live in a safe neighborhood and you've got to, you know, you're against the wall on the border, but you've got a wall around your house. And so you just, you're in this bubble and then you only ever talk to people who agree with you.
And then the media is constantly reinforcing it. And then you get ostracized if you disagree. And that's the wedge. That's the wedge. And it worked. Like look for a long time it worked for 40, 50, 60 years it worked as a way to gain and hold political power.
Trump woke me up in 2016.
So from 2017 to 2020, I was just like trying to figure out what the hell was going on. And then COVID hit. And our business caved in and had all kinds of crazy, horrible things happening. And we have all these companies, we have hundreds of companies we're responsible for, startups, and so we're working with them to try to keep them afloat, trying to get the money and everything.
But really, the big thing was in 2021 when the Obama-Biden-Harris administration just flat out tried to kill us. They just came straight at us and they came straight at our founders.
And so and they tried to kill crypto and they were they were on their way to trying to kill AI. I mean, they were they were horrible. Like they were a second. What was the motivation to kill AI? Because it's because they want they want control it. I mean, they want control. They want to control.
They recognize the potential of it and they want to control it. They want to control it. They don't necessarily want to stop it, but they want to make sure that they control it in the same way that they controlled social media, in the same way that they control the press.
So how are they trying to do that? So think about it as the same dynamics that cause censorship to happen on social media were also going to happen in crypto and AI.
And so there's a couple steps to it. So one is you just want a small number of companies that do AI because you wanna be able to put them in a headlock and control them. So you basically wanna give, you basically wanna have a government, you wanna bless a small set of large companies with a cartel and set up a regulatory structure where those companies are intertwined with the government. FASCISM.
And then you wanna prevent startups from being able to enter that cartel. How would they do that? That's a threat to the control. So it's a concept called regulatory capture. And so the way it went, and this has happened many times for hundreds of years, this is like a very well established kind of thing in economics and politics.
So suppose you're a big bank, suppose you're Jamie Dimon, you run JP Morgan Chase, what's like the biggest possible threat of what you could possibly face? It's that there's some disruptive change that comes along that upends your entire business. You’re Kodak. You're making a ton of money on analog film and then digital cameras come along and you get destroyed and in your obituary you're the idiot. Blockbuster video. Blockbuster video, that's the cautionary tale.
There's two ways to try to deal with that.
One is you could try to invent the future before it happens to you, but that's hard because you're running a big company and these startups are out there doing all these crazy things and can you really do that? And it's hard and frisky and dangerous. The other thing you can do is you can go to the government and you can basically say, okay, we're going to, we would like to propose basically a trade, which is we would like the government to put up a wall of regulation, right? We would like the government to put in place rules, right? That are potentially thousands of pages long, right? And in fact, the more, the better, right? We want a very, very, very high bar for regulation for what's required to be in this business because I'm a big company. I can afford 10,000 lawyers and compliance people, right? I voluntarily put myself under basically the government thumb, but in return, the government has erected this wall of regulation such that the next startup comes along and just literally, the next company comes along and just literally can't function.
And by the way, this is literally what happened in banking. So pre-2008, pre the financial crisis, there were many different banks in the country big, medium, small, and lots of new bank startups every year that would people would just start banks, entrepreneurial banks of many different kinds. After the financial crisis we had this problem called the too big to fail banks, right? The banks were too big and so there was this legislation called Dodd Frank which was regulatory reform for banking which was this problem called the too big to fail banks, right? The banks were too big.
And so there was this legislation called Dodd-Frank, which was regulatory reform for banking, which was going to fix the too big to fail banking problem. They implemented that in 2011. I call that the Big Bank Protection Act of 2011. It was marketed as it was going to solve the problem of the too big to fail banks. What it actually did was it made them much larger. So those banks are, those, those too big to fail banks, the same ones we bailed out are now much larger than they were before. The banking industry has concentrated into those banks. All the mid-sized banks are being shaken out.
Since Dodd-Frank, the number of new banks created in the United States has dropped to zero. The banking system is being centralized basically into 10 big banks. They actually have a term, they have a great term called GSIB, globally significant something-something bank. Those are going to consolidate basically into the three big banks.
And if you get debanked by one of the big three... You're done. You're absolutely done. But think about it from the other side. If you're the Treasury Secretary and you want your political enemy debanked, it's just a phone call, right? Which is what has been happening, which is happening under the Biden regime. We've had companies that have tried to start new banks, and it's essentially impossible because you have to comply with the wall of regulation. You need to go hire your 10,000 compliance people and your lawyers, but you can't afford to do that because you're not big enough yet. So you can't function.
That happened in banking. That's what they've been doing in social media. It's been the same, it's been the same. By the way, this has happened in many other industries. By the way, this happened in the food industry, it's greatly consolidated, that's a lot of what's happened in that industry as well. And it's the intertwining of government and the company, right? Because at that point, it's like, OK, is this a private company? Yes. Like, it's still a private company. It has a stock price.
It has a CEO. Does the CEO have to do everything that the relevant cabinet secretary tells him to do? Yes, he does. Why does he have to do that? Because if not, it's going to be investigations and subpoenas and prosecutions and examinations for the rest of his life.
So it's essentially what we accuse the CCP of doing in China. So if you combine banking and social media and now AI you have basically privatized social credit score.
The same thing has happened in the insurance industry. It's consolidated down to a small handful of companies. They're super regulated. If the government doesn't want you to have insurance, you're not gonna have insurance. And there's no constitutional right to insurance. So there's no appeal process.
We're back to the debanking thing. And so that happened in banking. That's been happening in tech, social media generally. It's been happening in many other sectors.
And then it's happening specifically in AI. And what you have in AI is you have a set of CEOs of some of the big AI companies that want this to happen. Because again, their big threat is that we're going to fund a startup that's going to eat their lunch, right? It's going to really screw them up. And so they're like, look, if we could just take the position we have and lock it in with government protection, the trade is we'll do whatever the government wants.
And if you assume the government is controlled by people who want to censor and punish and cancel their political opponents, that's going to come right along with it.
And so that's why when these AI systems come out they're tremendously politically biased. You just go on any of these systems today and you just like ask, you just start asking like really basic questions. They HAVE PROGRAMMED AI to answer in a pro left-wing political direction.
Nine out of 10 of them are tremendously biased. This is one of the threats from the government is, is the government basically going to force our startups to come into compliance, not just with their trade rules, but also with all of their, essentially a censorship regime on AI that's exactly like the censorship regime that we had on social media. If you thought social media censorship was bad, this has the potential to be 1,000 times worse.
AI is going to be the control layer on everything. So AI is going to be the control layer on how your kids learn at school. It's going to be the control layer on who gets loans. It’s going to be the control layer on does your house open when you come to the front door. It's going to be the control layer on the military - on everything.
If that bias gets wired into AI and the political system, the way that the banks did and the way that social media did, like we are in for a very bad future. And that's a big thing that we've been trying to prevent is to keep that from happening. The Obama-Biden-Kamala administration was explicitly on that path - they were clearly going for total control.
The SEC, FTC and the FAA have been fully weaponized.
I always had this rose-colored glasses view of our society versus the Chinese society. I believed that our society is more open. People can innovate and come up with new startups, all these crazy ideas, because there's so much freedom in America, they don't have to deal with the government being involved in every business. Silly me! Silly me, I was wrong.
If you imagine that the 21st Century is going to be a contest between the US and China, the same way that in the 20th century it was the US versus the Soviet Union, you want to think very clearly about the strengths and weaknesses of both yourselves and the other side.
We don’t need to be totalitarian like China to compete with them or beat them like the NWO thinks. Here’s what we have going for us: the Chinese system has turned on capitalism. Xi Jinping is not a capitalist. And there is a broad-based crackdown on private business in China. A friend of mine, one of the leading investors in China, he said, every single Chinese tech founder has either left China or wants to leave China.
They're all trying to get their money out, and they're all trying to get their families out. It's now too dangerous to run a tech company in China, and he said every single Chinese tech founder has either left China or wants to leave China because the government might just snatch you, like literally, physically snatch you at any point. And you may or may not come back. So you'd rather be a CEO in the U.S. than in China for sure - [particularly under Trump.]
As long as the U.S. system actually stays open where you can actually get all the benefits of all the power of all these incredibly smart people building companies and building products. But and that's why this administration freaked us out so much is because it felt like they were trying to become way more like Communist China.
They told us - there will be a small number of large companies that will be completely regulated and controlled by the government. They told us, don't even start startups, don’t bother. There's no way that they can succeed. There's no way that we're going to permit that to happen. They just said, this is already over. There’s going to be two or three companies and we're going to control them all.
When you leave a meeting like that, what do you do? You go endorse Donald Trump.
There's now two kinds of dinner parties in Silicon Valley. They fractured cleanly in half. There's the ones where every person there believes every single thing that was in the New York Times that day. And then there's the other kind, which is, you know, well informed - like me - and they understand the repercussions.
What Obama-Biden-Harris were trying to do with AI is fucking terrifying. That should terrify everybody. Where you have Deep State bureaucrats in control of potentially the most, the biggest agent of change in the history of the human race, potentially. And you're gonna let what? The people that can't even balance the budget?
I've talked to a lot of people, even people that are Democrats, who say I feel better that Trump won. Every day it feels better. This is kind of actually real hope and change. It feels like oxygen returning.
If that doesn’t wake you up - I don’t know what will!
