How Big Tech money is undermining US democracy — Interview with journalist Gil Duran | DW News

US Author Gil Durán warns that Silicon Valley “billionaires have enough money to buy both sides" in any US election. In his book „The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy,“ Durán pieces together public statements from powerful tech investors like Peter Thiel that amount to a chilling attack on democracy as we know it. Durán criticizes both Republicans and Democrats for refusing to take on the big money in tech. #dwcurrentaffairs #techoligarchy #gilduran Chapters: 0:00 The war on democracy 2:02 Billionaire power moves 4:01 Peter Thiel’s vision 5:37 The rise of JD Vance 7:38 Elon Musk's influence 9:36 Election threats 11:07 The ideology of fascism 13:21 Partisanship and power 15:55 The network state concept 18:09 The AI bubble 19:33 Economic and moral risks 22:05 A call for accountability For more news go to: http://www.dw.com/en/ Follow DW on social media: ►Instagram:   / dwnews   ►TikTok:   / dwnews   ►Facebook:   / deutschewellenews   ►Twitter:   / dwnews   ►Reddit:   / dwnews   Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie:    / dwdeutsch   Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/deutsche...
