Sarah and JVL taped the Secret pod in front of 450 best friends in Nashville and things got . . . a little weird?

Hey fam: Supersized newsletter today. This Triad goes to four. It’s about Tesla and Elon Musk and autonomous vehicles. It gets fairly technical at times. But it’s really about how we’ve turned over large portions of America to insanely rich people who have no idea what they’re doing. It’s about oligarchy and technology. I hope you’ll take the ride with me—and share it if you are so inclined. P.S.: If this edition ends abruptly in your inbox, click the title to get to the full version on the site.

Heads up: This week I’m traveling for our Bulwark live shows in Chicago and Nashville, so the newsletter may be irregular, both in content and scheduling. Today we’re going to talk about why JD Vance is going to fail in his quest to inherit MAGA from Donald Trump. As is usually the case, professional wrestling is the best guide to our political reality. If you can’t force yourself to sit through JD Vance’s conversation with Ross Douthat, you should just watch Tim’s Cliff’s Notes version.

Sarah and I talked about this ChatGPT stuff on the Secret pod, in addition to talking about Harvard, LaMonica McIver, and Trump’s South Africa meeting. The show is here. We talked about this New York magazine story briefly yesterday, but I want to go deep on it today. Short version: Kids in high school and college are using AI to do their homework, write their essays, and take their tests at a scale you can’t believe. Cheating with ChatGPT in 2025 is like smoking pot in 1975. Everyone is doing it.

RT @Timodc: I want to laugh at this but the stories of the people who are invested in Truth social just fill me with a deep sadness. :/ ht…
My friend Kelly is trying to help her friend, who has become a victim of domestic violence. If you're able to help, I hope you'll consider doing so. Thanks. https://t.co/RwRC3ZGyT5
