The phrase "tactful fabulism" is a wonderful way of describing someone who is cordial at a meeting, but then recalls it as subject to violent disagreement and threats to his businesses. This is something Andreessen has done throughout his career.

At this point, Andreessen is more reflexively right wing than Richard Hanania

In a Signal chat that captured his right-ward turn, Andreessen cast himself as the spokesman of the forgotten midwest: “I was born in 1971 in Iowa and grew up in Wisconsin. My people are furious and not going to take it anymore.” Reality: he gives zero fucks about "his people" including family.

This pattern of exaggerated slights and inability to acknowledge how the environment helped him is a pattern for Andreessen. He shits on his Wisconsin upbringing, but seems to have been well-treated and showered with resources. Says the NSF should be eliminated, even tho if was key to his education.

A key part in Andreessen's MAGA origin story appears to have been totally made up. He said Biden officials promised to ban AI startups. They called bullshit on it. Sounds like Andreessen was looking for an excuse to switch sides (like Musk complaining about not being invited to a meeting).
