Taking On the Tech Bros, with Taylor Lorenz

‘We’re Not Kidding’ is back! After a not-very-relaxing holiday break, Mehdi is joined by tech and online culture journalist (and new Zeteo contributor!) Taylor Lorenz to discuss the new age of American oligarchy. Trump is back in office and his inauguration was a star-studded showcase of spineless tech billionaires. Mehdi and Taylor also unpack the dumbfounding blunder of Democrats’ TikTok ban, why private ownership of social media platforms by “red-pilled billionaires” is actually BAD for free speech, the MAGAfication of Elon Musk, and whether Mark Zuckerberg looks cool now. Taylor also pushes back against the argument made by Zeteo guest writer Will Stancil, who called for Democrats to go to war with social media companies. 00:00 - Opening montage 1:10 - Intro 1:28 - Washington Post controversy 2:20 - Right-wingers are obsessed with Taylor 4:16 - TikTok ban 9:00 - TikTok censorship 13:14 - Tech billionaires bend to Trump 14:55 - Mark Zuckerberg’s MAGA turn 19:10 - Is Elon Musk the shadow president? 20:20 - Why tech oligarchs are so powerful 21:42 - Free speech & content moderation 27:59 - Breaking up Big Tech 29:21 - Right-wing social media 30:25 - Mark Zuckerberg vs. Elon Musk 31:23 - Decentralized social media 33:47 - Regulating social media Subscribe to Zeteo to support independent and unfiltered journalism: https://zeteo.com/subscribe Watch, listen and subscribe to ‘We’re Not Kidding’ on Substack: https://zeteo.com/s/were-not-kidding-...
