From an unenforced TikTok ban and a chatbot calling itself
MechaHitler to mounting fears that we’re in an AI bubble, 2025 was
another messy year for the tech industry. We watched billionaire
CEOs fully align themselves with President Trump, Nvidia become the
first $5 trillion company, and Elon Musk’s popularity tank, thanks
to his DOGE antics (and yet he could still become the world’s first
trillionaire). Kara breaks down the biggest tech stories of
2025 with four journalists: Bill Cohan, a longtime financial
journalist, author, and Puck co-founder who covers Wall Street;
Casey Newton, founder and editor of the tech newsletter Platformer
and host of The New York Times podcast “Hard Fork”; Joanna Stern,
senior personal technology columnist for The Wall Street Journal
and author of a forthcoming book about how she surrendered her life
to A.I. for a year; and Charlie Warzel, staff writer at The
Atlantic and host of the tech and culture podcast “Galaxy
Brain.” (Please note, this conversation was recorded before
news broke that TikTok had signed a deal to spin off its U.S.
business to a group of American investors, the Justice Department
released a trove of documents tied to investigations into Jeffrey
Epstein, and Waymo halted service in San Francisco because of power
outages in the area.) Questions? Comments? Email us at
