Elon Musk has long been celebrated as a tech visionary and entrepreneur, but his recent foray into American politics is raising serious questions—and red flags. With his growing influence over President-Elect Donald Trump and ensuing cabinet position, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Inside Geneva
In this episode, we take a hard look at:
Musk’s background and the evolution of his public persona.
The burgeoning White Supremacist philosophies emerging in his rhetoric and behavior.
The potential dangers of his ideologies taking root in the highest levels of government.
As Musk positions himself as a political power broker, we explore the implications for democracy, civil rights, and America’s future. Could this signal the start of a darker chapter in the nation’s history?

The shocking murder of United HealthCare CEO Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione has sparked intense public debate—but what’s most startling is the widespread celebration of his death online. Why are so many Americans cheering this violent act?
In this episode, we dive into the meaning behind the public's reaction. Is it a reflection of growing frustration with the healthcare system and corporate greed? Or does it signal a deeper unraveling of our societal norms?
We also examine the larger cultural context, connecting this tragedy to a disturbing pattern in American discourse. From the right-wing media's lionization of Kyle Rittenhouse and Daniel Penny, to the increasing polarization around issues of justice and accountability, are we witnessing the normalization of violence in political narratives?
Join us as we unpack the implications of this event and discuss what it reveals about the shifting tone of America's political landscape.

Modern American politics can be a severely contentious subject, dissolving friendships and oftentimes splitting families down the middle, leaving many of us to choose between distancing from our loved ones or avoiding political discourse, altogether. This week's guest, Horace Gold has made it his mission to bridge the divide between himself (a left-leaning gay Black man) and his deeply religious, MAGA faithful parents. Horace and I share the similarities in our upbringing, have a discussion about grace and the glaring differences between conflict in the online world and the real one.

A lot has been made of Kamala Harris "baiting" Trump in the debate. But is that what really happened? We know she's a skilled debater, but has Trump ever been able to stay on message?

I had the opportunity to cover the DNC as a social media content creator this week. Much has been made of the access content creators were given to cover the convention this year -- much of it false info from traditional media -- I won't bother to clear up the rumors here.
Inside Geneva
What I will say is that it was an honor to be in the room for this historic event. Watching the first major political party nominate a woman of color was overwhelming and quite heartening. I keep likening it to being sprayed by a fire hose for 4 days straight -- it's going to take some time to parse out the exact impact of this event, and to assess its meaning, both personally and politically.
What I'm bringing you is a first person perspective of what this experience meant to me. No hard-hitting breaking news -- just my on-the-ground assessment of what it was like to witness democracy and spectacle up close.

We're tackling two important topics today - the first being anti-Blackness within the pro-Palestinian movement. This issue has come to a head in recent weeks on TikTok, in particular, where the pro-Palestinian movement has gained a lot of traction since the attacks of October 7th.
Inside Geneva
Many young Black activists have stood in solidarity with those who have dedicated their social media accounts to calling for Palestinian independence. But the rise of Kamala Harris as the Democratic party's presumptive nominee has revealed a fissure among Black pro Palestine activists and non Black activists.
The primary issue - is it possible to stand in solidarity with those advocating for Palestinian liberation and also vote for a member of the Biden administration who is tangentially culpable for the genocide happening in Gaza?
I'm also taking a look at post-Trump politics in the Republican Party. Will they be able to form an identity once he is no long a factor?

Kamala Harris and her new VP pick, Tim Walz are what some might call a "Dream Team." Walz was a bit of an unconventional pick, but anyone who's seen them on stage together would have to acknowledge that he makes the perfect compliment for her. Much like her, he's optimistic, he's plain-spoken and he's... *gasp* joyful. These are words you wouldn't necessarily associate with politics, but they're qualities that have been sorely lacking in our political sphere of late.
Inside Geneva
As we're all breathing a sigh of relief, we're also observing the unique ways in which these kindred souls move. When you're facing an opponent who deals in schoolyard politics, the temptation might be to allow that joy to be overwhelmed with the need to push back on his lies, to clapback to his insults and to allow the news cycle to be dominated by damage control. Kamala and Tim seem to be aware of this danger, and so far, they've focused on keeping their forward momentum, while not being afraid to address Trump and Vance's attacks head on, and then keep it moving.
It's a delicate balance they'll have to strike if they want to maintain their status as "The Joyful Team" and avoid being swept up in his vortex of chaos.

Today, my guest Gerard LeConte and I discuss the ever-growing influence of so-called "Red Pill Culture" on the current Republican Party. From Andrew Tate to Jordan Peterson and now JD Vance, there's no shortage of far-right spokesmen to channel the anger, frustration and loneliness of young men and boys into increasingly toxic viewpoints.
Inside Geneva
Gerard LeConte and I are discussing a recent viral video he did on this topic:
Right Wing Radicalization
We're discussing ways that those concerned about this phenomenon can help to lessen its impact on the men in their lives.
