How Marc Andreessen’s Signal group chats helped spawn the tech right

Marc Andreessen's private Signal group chats, which emerged in 2018, served as a platform for influential tech leaders and right-wing figures to openly discuss and critique policies, with notable debates over issues like Trump's tariffs. These chats fostered a culture of transparency and ideological exchange among its members, from tech luminaries like Larry Summers to conservatives such as Tucker Carlson, while some saw the group as increasingly partisan due to its open discussions.
