"They're angry at what they see as the excesses of woke culture and liberal and lefty politics. … And they're angry that they don't have free rein to enact the world they want to enact, and that includes areas like AI." Silverman also discusses how tech elites like Peter Thiel and David Sacks are shaping the Trump administration's approach to technology.
