Renowned Silicon Valley investor Marc Andreessen has been vetting candidates for positions across the incoming Trump administration, according to The Washington Post. The venture capitalist, credited as the godfather of the internet browser, has been recruiting staff not just for tech and economics roles but for openings in the Defense Department and intelligence agencies as well. Andreessen previously described himself as as “unpaid volunteer” for Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s “Department of Government Efficiency,” aimed at cutting government spending. Andreessen is the latest tech mogul to get closely involved with the Trump administration. Other Silicon Valley leaders, including Amazon’s Jeff Bezos and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, have also made generous donations to Trump’s inaugural fund.
