The Transformation of Silicon Valley's Political Landscape

Tara starts the pod with an update on the Department of Defense text chain scandal currently rocking Capitol Hill. She is then joined by Teddy Schleifer from The New York Times in front of a live audience at the Sine Institute to discuss Elon Musk’s rise to the forefront of the Trump administration and subsequent red-pilling of the tech industry. They examine Musk’s clandestine entry into the world of politics, highlight the moment when his support for Trump became public, and analyze how his presence at the White House is affecting federal policy.
