Silicon Valley Confidential
What tech titan Marc Andreessen told Joe Rogan last week is causing quite an uproar.
When a tech billionaire gives an in-depth, three-hour interview about their industry, it never makes waves.
Well, almost never.
Silicon Valley tech titan Marc Andreessen’s recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience is the exception that proves the rule. Andreessen made some fairly earth-shattering revelations.
Judging by the strength of the media firestorm ignited against him, Andreessen must have hit a nerve.
“We listened to Marc Andreessen’s 3-hour Joe Rogan podcast so you don’t have to,” quipped Rya Jetha for the San Francisco Standard on November 27, 2024.
“Fans Triggered as Joe Rogan’s Reputation in Tatters After Billionaire Marc Andreessen’s Episode,” sniffed Tanushree Bhowmick for Essentially Sports.
“Andreessen was earlier a Democrat and backed names like Bill Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry, and Barack Obama,” Bhowmick admitted somewhat grudgingly. “In fact, when Hillary Clinton couldn’t win the 2016 elections, the businessman was sad. He voted for her. But this year, when he decided to back Trump instead of Kamala Harris, he saw doors being slammed in his face in Silicon Valley.”
