WIRED Roundup: Groypers Going Mainstream

In today’s episode, Zöe is joined by WIRED’s Jake Lahut to run through five of the best stories we published this week — from Customs & Border Protection efforts to collect American’s DNA to tech billionaire Larry Ellison’s shadowy influence on the White House. Then, Zöe and Jake discuss the surge in popularity of white nationalist influencer Nick Fuentes, who has leveraged the vacuum left behind by Charlie Kirk's death to break into the mainstream. Articles mentioned in this episode: Nick Fuentes' Plan to Conquer America Larry Ellison Is a ‘Shadow President’ in Donald Trump’s America OpenAI Teams Up With Oracle and SoftBank to Build 5 New Stargate Data Centers DHS Has Been Collecting US Citizens’ DNA for Years For One Glorious Morning, a Website Saved San Francisco From Parking Tickets Join WIRED’s best and brightest as they provide an insider analysis of the overlap between tech and politics, from the influence of Silicon Valley on the Trump administration to how inaccurate information from artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots fanned the fire on social protests.
