Authoritarians or A-holes? Kara Swisher on Tech's Biggest Egos

Kara Swisher, longtime tech reporter and author of the forthcoming memoir Burn Book, joins Offline to talk about the tech tycoons who think they're qualified to run our country. She and Jon break down Silicon Valley's ever growing self importance, whether its leaders are more or less fascist than we think, and how big tech ate the media industry alive. But first! Max and Jon explain why Apple's Vision Pro headset is the company's most impressive—and depressing—gadget to date, and how Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are saving American monoculture.
