>he was told

That can mean a lot of things. Someone suggesting it because they think that's where things are going versus someone warning or threatening. With the little I know of the man, I take anything he says about the government with a truck load of salt.

And you believe that?

basic media literacy

Yes I saw that too. Andreessen and Horowitz both believed that the last 4 years under Biden has been the worst environment for startups of their working life. The Dems basically wanted to anoint a small number of companies at the frontier of AI and crypto space that they can control and people outside that were being "de-banked" etc.

That was before the election. Why do you think tech has gotten behind Trump?

Trump and AI are not a good mix by design.
