  • Elon Musk's post-White House pivot deepens politics-in-tech tensions
    November 8, 2025, 9:44 AM EST. Elon Musk's post-White House drama has made him a loud political fixture, aligning with far-right voices and using his platforms to influence elections. After signaling a retreat from politics, he has leaned into election conspiracies, anti-immigration rhetoric, and even a right-wing AI-generated Wikipedia rival. Critics point to a Yale study linking Musk's rhetoric to weaker Tesla sales, while brand loyalty faltered as his government-policy projects shifted priorities. Polls show a plunge in his personal favorability, even as shareholders approve a sweeping $1 trillion compensation package. The episode underscores the tension between tech leadership and political influence, illustrating how a CEO's public stance can reshape business outcomes and investor sentiment.
  • AI's Hidden Recession: Jobs Shrink, Gender Politics, and a Governance Crisis
    November 8, 2025, 9:42 AM EST. AI is accelerating productivity while payrolls lag, signaling a hidden recession that tests governance. For many firms, AI enables "headcount-light" growth, but widespread displacement compounds policy gaps as retraining lags and mid-career workers struggle. History offers parallels: in hard times, governments and firms restricted women's participation, citing moral restoration; postwar policy steered labour toward male breadwinners; today the debate reframes gender equity as a political fault line. IMF data hint at the upside of higher female participation for GDP, yet fiscal strain pushes cuts to childcare and training. The paradox is stark: markets reward lean growth in the short term, but long-run prosperity requires broad participation, resilience, and inclusive policy that aligns tech progress with social well-being.
