As someone who has met her on multiple occasions, I can confirm that she is an awful human.

Get the sunnies off.

24:20 Don't call her cookie! 😉

I thought only « the best » get hired? … All these white men and still so much corruption? So many problems? How come?

This woman is a legend in her own mind😅

25:10 – we paid for the internet. they use our data. -Swisher

That simple, we are getting ripped off.

Twitter = Bad

What's with the dark sunglasses?

I am not on twitter. I don't spend much time on Facebook. I guess I am an old fashioned boomer who likes to meet with others face-face. Gee, Kara, do you always talk so fast? I have always noticed that entrepeneurs and inventors consistently fail to think about the possible negative consequences of their ideas. Many are smart but those who are wise do not move forward so fast and are not into breaking things apart because it's childishly fun. Government agencies might need to be pruned but not chopped apart with a chain saw.

@ddod7236 March 21, 2025 - 5:17 pm

Dont trust anyone who wears sunglasses during interview. Clicking off

@deirdreenglish5912 March 21, 2025 - 5:17 pm

brilliant, Kara! You speak for many of us

@Vejur9000 March 21, 2025 - 5:17 pm

She is absolutely brilliant.

@Rosemary-fe3bz March 21, 2025 - 5:17 pm

How can she be a Silicon Valley insider when she no longer lives in the Bay Area? She lives in DC now.

@jamesleonard2870 March 21, 2025 - 5:17 pm

MKUltra (psych warfair) used addiction for mind control

It would be interesting to see her interviewed now by Evan Smith, months after the November election, now that Elon is in the White House, so to speak.

@johnrolle9321 March 21, 2025 - 5:17 pm

Bethlehem pronounced "Bed-lum". Slouching toward…….

@vietimports March 21, 2025 - 5:17 pm

kara swisher empowered all of these tech oligarchs, and only now is she coming out and saying they're all weird and awful lol

@Studeb March 21, 2025 - 5:17 pm

23:20 Hilarious that the people at Google didn't think to google the quote she gave them.

@requiemsrapture March 21, 2025 - 5:17 pm

remarkable interview! Could have gone on for 2+ hours, never can get enough of Kara Swisher. Like Evan Smith too!

@VincentFulco March 21, 2025 - 5:17 pm

Swisher is the greatest threat to democracy.

@MarcusAlexander86753 March 21, 2025 - 5:17 pm

Yeah, the lady that isn't in with any of the big techers. she wants to be Tom Cruise so bad.😂

@MichelaMangiaracina March 21, 2025 - 5:17 pm

Thank you for this summary. It makes everything clearer

@travcat756 March 21, 2025 - 5:17 pm

Excellent! People need to buy the Washington Post & let Kara run it

@mytruthbekind5793 March 21, 2025 - 5:17 pm

We are drowning in loneliness. We don’t have communities and people want it.

@norankpost2 March 21, 2025 - 5:17 pm

On the other hand Kara swisher helped build Elon musk in his beginning.

@eagle1ear March 21, 2025 - 5:17 pm

If you make a list of the top 10 thinkers, articulators and communicators alive today Kara Swisher has to be on it. I'm amused at how the "Tech Bros" do their best to snipe at her but the outcome is that they sound like a bunch of ankle biters. Which they are!
