Welcome to The John Johnston Lounge, where tech, business, politics, and culture collide. Join host John Johnston (JJ) for a daily breakdown of some of the most powerful tech companies and people. JJ goes beyond the headlines to critique the unusual psychology, strategies, and politics of tech billionaires Elon Musk (Tesla and SpaceX), Sam Altman (OpenAI), Peter Thiel (Palantir), Mark Zuckerberg (Meta), Jeff Bezos (Amazon and Blue Origin), Dario Amodei (Anthropic) and others. Whether it's the AI boom and bubble, or Silicon Valley politics and culture, JJ covers it with critical thinking, zero sycophancy, and a healthy dose of humor!
