Marc Andreessen , the billionaire tech investor who co-founded Netscape , has been making the rounds on various podcasts to talk about how lefty ideas had permeated American culture in the late 2010s .

But a new interview released by the New York Times on Friday is interesting, if only because the Times cleaned up its own transcript to make Andreessen sound like less of an idiot.

But if you actually listened to the audio, this is what you heard: Andreessen thinks Hillary Clinton was actually president from 2017 until 2021 rather than Donald Trump .

Andreessen sees tech founders as the real heroes in society who used to be able to start companies, make tremendous amounts of money, and then give that money away as they saw fit.

But now people are raising questions about why billionaires should be allowed to make obscene amounts of wealth without accountability, often while suckling at the government teat.

The real answer, of course, is to tax those billionaires in order to fund things for the public good, but Andreessen doesn't like that idea.
