Andreessen: Substack And Elon Musk's Twitter Takeover Broke The Social Media Censorship Dynamic
- Tech founder Marc Andreessen explained how the U.S. government's social media censorship scheme came to an end during an appearance on the Lex Fridman podcast. You can watch the full interview below this selected transcript: LEX FRIDMAN: You are a good person to speak about the history of this because you were there on the ground floor.

He argues that Twitter, under Musk's leadership, has shifted towards promoting free speech, which contrasts with the previous management's approach to content moderation. This shift, according to Andreessen, has broken the monopoly of large tech companies on narrative control, allowing for a more diverse range of voices and viewpoints to be heard, thereby challenging the established norms of content suppression and moderation on social media.
