What is Marc Andreesen really angry about here? I can’t imagine he’s going hard on NSF Stanford and MIT because of DEI. Are they doing something that opposes his crypto or AI empire?

Also, he says universities favor immigrants, is he going after H1-B’s with the same fervor?

These billionaires are so damn blind to their own bs it becomes someone else's fault, with disastrous consequences.

Scott Kupor, employee #1 at Andreesen, Stanford grad.

Vijay Pande, founder of a16Z bio, MIT grad.

19 H1B LCAs 2022-2024 for a16z alone. 5 so far this year. That doesn't even include all their portcos! https://www.myvisajobs.com/employer/ah-capital-management/

man if i had a billion dollars nobody would ever hear from me again. why can't they just disappear or stfu

Andreesen had the opportunity to go to an excellent public university - a global leader in computer science. He worked at NCSA at University of Illinois, which was funded by the NSF. He was funded by the NSF to create Mosaic. He then founded his own company to build a competitor to Mosaic.

If Andreesen couldn't study computer science at a leading public university and get NSF funding to do research on the WWW at the exact right moment of time, does Marc Andreesen become a billionaire?

He's the post child for the success of American public universities and government-funded research. Now he wants to destroy that for everyone else.

Each billionaire provides his own evidence as to why billionaires should not exist.

Don't worry guys - I'm sure there won't be a violent revolution this time.
