On ‘In Bed With the Right‘ hosts Moira Donegan and Adrian Daub welcome a range of scholars and critics to analyze right wing ideas about gender, sex and sexuality – and to plumb the ways in which these ideas persist in and shape our present moment.
For this episode, Moira and Adrian talk about Chief Creep Elon Musk, his world view and the role gender plays in his politics with Ben Tarnoff, co-author of the recent Muskism. In a wide-ranging conversation, they discuss what shaped Musk’s ideas of autarky, vertical integration, “fortress capitalism”, and how a gendered siege mentality is remaking the way we work and live in the United States today.
