Money. Identity. Technology.
Follow the money. Find the decision.
AI, capital & policy
Follow Andreessen's personal political receipt, a16z's investment and advocacy routes, and Meta's documented corporate oversight role.
Solid lines: documented in a cited record. Dashed: reported or inferred. Hollow arrows: proposed powers. Choose a connection for its evidence.
Personal gifts, firm contributions, investment, policy advocacy and corporate authority are different relationships. Round and fund headlines are not individual checks. Shared markets do not establish unified control.
