Venture Capital, Marc Andreessen sharply criticized universities, including Stanford and MIT, together with the National Science Foundation, on group chat with AI scientists and Trump administration officials, in accordance with Screenshots viewed by Washington Post.
According to Andreessen’s post, he described myth and Stanford (in which I participated two a long time ago) as “mainly political lobbying operations fighting American innovation.” Apparently he also complained that Stanford “forced my wife [as chair of its Center on Philanthropy and Civil society] Without thinking, a decision that will cost them about $ 5 billion in future donations. “
In a separate message that didn’t mention a specific school, Andreessen reportedly said that the universities “announced the war of 70% of the country and now they will pay the price.” He tried “Dei and immigration”, which he reportedly described as “two forms of discrimination” that are “politically fatal”.
Last yr, Andreessen and his co -founder Andreessen Horowitz, Ben Horowitz, said they supported the campaign of Donald Trump to return to the White House. Andreesen’s allies then took the role of Trump’s administration.
TechCrunch contacted A16Z for a comment. Meanwhile, Sequoia Capital was silent after the criticism of Shauna Maguire’s partner by Zohran Mamdani, a democratic nominated to the mayor of New York, as “Islamist” who “comes from a culture that lies about everything.”
