A16z co-founder: I am an "unpaid volunteer" of the government efficiency department. I support Trump because the current government suppresses technological innovation.

Odaily Planet Daily News: Marc Andreessen, co-founder of venture capital giant Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and billionaire, confirmed in a recent interview that he is working with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and shared his feelings about working with US President-elect Trump in the interview. Andreessen said that technological innovation is the cornerstone of US economic prosperity and national security, and maintaining technological leadership is vital to the United States. The policies of the current government (Biden administration) suppress technological innovation. Andreessen praised the Trump administration's technology policy. In the interview, Andreessen said that he was a "unpaid volunteer" for DOGE and said that DOGE has two main goals: cutting spending and reducing regulation. Andreessen also said that since the end of the election, he has spent "probably half of his time" at Mar-a-Lago and participated in some interviews with cabinet officials. His contributions are mainly in the following areas: technology policy, business, economy and national health. But he also said: "I'm not saying that I'm involved in all decisions, but I've been trying to help in as many ways as possible." (Wall Street News)
