US Top News and Analysis | Kevin Warsh would be the first tech bro Fed chair. How Silicon Valley shaped him

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Kevin Warsh, a former Federal Reserve governor and long‑time venture‑capital investor, is facing a Senate confirmation hearing for a potential appointment as Fed chair, a role that could make him the wealthiest and most technology‑savvy chair in history. Warsh’s ties to Silicon Valley run deep: he invested alongside figures such as Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, Alex Karp, and former Stanford classmates, amassing a disclosed fortune of roughly $200 million that includes stakes in AI, crypto and other frontier startups. His belief that emerging technologies will rapidly lower costs and boost productivity drives his advocacy for lower interest rates and a more forward‑looking, data‑driven monetary policy—contrasting with the more cautious stance of current Chair Jerome Powell. Warsh has publicly criticized the Fed’s large balance sheet, the “backward‑looking” use of data, and what he sees as unnecessary regulation, arguing that AI‑driven productivity gains should be factored into policy now. If confirmed, his appointment would signal a significant shift from the traditionally continuity‑focused Fed leadership, while raising questions about potential conflicts of interest and the influence of tech moguls on U.S. monetary decisions.

"Roh ist der Bro"

Eine Kolumne zum Netscape-(Mit)gründer #MarcAndreessen und seine radikal-libertären und faschistoiden Ansichten (und da bestens vernetzter Multimilliardär ähnlich einflussreich (gefährlich) wie #PeterThiel).

Schon fast schade, dass Microsoft nicht in den 90ern nicht früher den Browserkrieg gewonnen und diesen Typen damit potentiell unmöglich so reich gemacht hat.

“Among the new members of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (#PCAST) are #MarcAndreessen, #SergeyBrin, #MichaelDell, #LarryEllison, and #MarkZuckerberg.”

so:

❝ TRUMP APPOINTS #FriendsOfEpstein BILLIONAIRES TO PCAST

Trump appoints billionaires who appear in the #EpsteinFiles as part of a mailing list of #FriendsOfEpstein who enjoyed unconference "MONEY & POWER" weekends at his pedophile island, or shared tips on insider-trading or how to build a master race ranch ❞

"Trump remembers to appoint science panel, fills it mostly with tech bros."

Among the new members of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (#PCAST) are #MarcAndreessen, #SergeyBrin, #MichaelDell, #LarryEllison, and #MarkZuckerberg.

If you're curious, Wikipedia lists the PCAST members under Biden and Obama.
