Andreessen, who
founded the VC firm Andreessen Horowitz with his business partner, Ben Horowitz, is reportedly getting involved with Musk's Department of Government Efficiency and talked about the effort in the interview published Tuesday.
"It's time to take the overall tax load down," Andreessen added.
The investor railed against independent federal agencies such as the Securities Exchange Commission, Federal Trade Commission, and Federal Aviation Administration for scrutinizing industries like crypto, fintech, and drones.
Andreessen also called out the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and said his portfolio companies had multiple founders who had been targeted by the agency.
Established by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the agency was created to oversee the financial industry in 2010 following the financial crisis. It has since drawn
criticism from the Republican Party.
It appears Musk shares Andreessen's dislike of the CFPB.
A day after Andreessen's interview with Rogan was published, Musk
called to "delete CFPB" in a post on X and said there were too many regulatory agencies with the same purpose.
