Summary
Big Tech-funded super PACs have spent hundreds of millions of dollars this election cycle to protect their interests in crypto and AI. In a piece for the New Yorker this month, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Charles Duhigg says that “(n)ow that the tech industry has quietly become one of the most powerful lobbying forces in American politics, it is wielding that power as previous corporate special interests have: to bully, cajole, and remake the nation as it sees fit.” We’ll talk to Duhigg about how tech money is shaping this election. His article is called “Silicon Valley, the New Lobbying Monster.”
