I’ll say right up front that I am not a fan of billionaires who donate outrageous amounts of money to presidential campaigns. It’s a blight on our republican democracy for such stupendous amounts of money to be made available to politicians of any stripe.

That being said, I do take some comfort in knowing that, at least in this case, some Silicon Valley tech lucre will not flow into TFG’s coffers.

On Friday, tech billionaire venture capitalist Ben Horowitz, along with his wife, withdrew their support for Don the Con – and shifted their endorsement to the Harris/Walz side.

It’s a win that The Don will not be advantaged by at least one billionaire’s lucre, and to make the win sweeter, Horowitz’s partner, Marc Andreason, has also pulled his support from The Orange One.

Said Horowitz, in part, in a xeet on “X:”

“As I mentioned before, Felicia and I have known Vice President Harris for over 10 years, and she has been a great friend to both of us during that time. She’s also been a friend to the firm in our early days, helping with several events at my house when we built the original Cultural Leadership Fund network. As a result of our friendship, Felicia and I will be making a significant donation to entities who support the Harris Walz campaign.”

Get that? It’s personal, not business. Horowitz went on to say that Harris’s position on Crypto and AI is unknown, and they are “hopeful” that Harris will have a more moderate view than Biden on that stuff.

Doesn’t matter. Just make sure that if they donate in bitcoin to get that changed to dollars. ASAP.

And, yeah, Felicia is Horowitz’s wife, obviously, but her farewell to TFG is especially appropriate.
