Elon Musk poured a staggering $446m into Republican-aligned political action committees (Pacs) and groups starting last year, but his efforts didn’t pay off. Democrats won every one of the five Senate races where Musk’s America Pac spent the most money backing Republican candidates. Carter Sherman and Kai Wright are joined by the Guardian’s tech editor Blake Montgomery (@blakersdozen) to ask what the ‘blue tsunami’ will mean for Musk and the wider tech industry. Will this spell the end for Elon and AI datacenters? Hear their conversation at the link in bio. 06 Nov 2026

Voters approved nearly every datacenter moratorium that was on the ballot in Tuesday’s elections. But will Democrats actually stop them from being built or do anything about the ones that already exist? Blake Montgomery (@blakersdozen), Guardian US tech editor, says that taking action on datacenters could be an “easy win” for newly elected congresspeople. Carter Sherman asked Blake why Donald Trump, Elon Musk and datacenters are the three biggest losers in the midterms. Hear his full take at the link in bio 05 Nov 2026

A picture taken on Trump’s inauguration day shows Silicon Valley billionaires by the president’s side, foreshadowing a technocracy. Fast forward to today when growing anger over tech, AI and the super rich fueled a blue wave throughout the country. “They [tech CEOs] sort of bent the knee and wanted to ensure that no regulation would ever happen,” says Guardian US tech editor Blake Montgomery (@blakersdozen). ‘And now it looks a lot like a target list for congressional investigations.” Are tech billionaires’ lives about to become much more difficult? Carter Sherman, Kai Wright, and Mongomery discuss this and more at the link in bio. 05 Nov 2026

Why would I deceive you? 01 Nov 2026

Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced founder of Theranos, is back in the headlines after the release of a new documentary by comedian Nathan Fielder. Holmes was convicted of defrauding investors of millions of dollars, after claiming her company had invented a revolutionary blood-testing device. The case has raised questions about the culture of Silicon Valley and its reliance on overhyped valuations and deceptive marketing. Blake Montgomery, US tech editor, talks to Science Weekly host Madeleine Finlay about whether the Theranos story has changed Silicon Valley, and how the AI boom suggests that maybe it hasn't learned its lesson. #elizabethholmes #theranos #nathanfielder #youcanseeeverything #science 27 Oct 2026

The disgraced biotech company founder Elizabeth Holmes is once again in the spotlight after the release of a new Nathan Fielder documentary, filmed in the days before she was due to report to prison. At 19 years old, Holmes dropped out of Stanford University to start Theranos. The mission? To “democratise healthcare”, seeking to perform a suite of medical tests from just a few droplets of blood. Theranos received millions of dollars from big-name investors, including Larry Ellison and Rupert Murdoch. But the technology never worked as promised. Blake Montgomery, US tech editor, details Holmes’s extraordinary rise, and subsequent nosedive, to Science Weekly host Madeleine Finlay.

In the name of the father, the son, and the holy binoculars 05 Sep 2026

Elon Musk’s SpaceX has made the largest-ever stock market debut today, with a valuation of over $2tn, making Musk the world’s first trillionaire. But what’s behind the company’s astronomical valuation? A promise to make humanity multiplanetary. In today’s episode, Guardian US tech editor Blake Montgomery (@blakersdozen) tells Kai Wright about SpaceX’s plan to create a self-sustaining city of one million people on Mars. If that happens, Musk could earn additional shares and compensation. Coming soon at the link in bio. #spacex #IPO #nasdaq #elonmusk #business 12 Jun 2026
