While the idea that the government “should be run like a business,” is by no means a new one, with Elon Musk in charge of government efficiency, it’s worth taking a closer look at whether business principles can be applied to government. 

Today on Equity, Rebecca Bellan is discussing the intersection of tech, business and politics with Columbia Business School Professor Michael Morris. Morris is also the author of Tribal, how the cultural instincts that divide us could help bring us together, a nominee for the 2024 Financial Times Business Book of the Year award.

Listen to the full episode to hear more about:

• How Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s new initiative plans to save $2 trillion in government spending.
• The impact of other tech leaders joining government and the potential for these leaders to influence decisions on crypto and AI regulation.
• What challenges lie ahead for startups bringing innovation to the military. Spoiler: higher costs of error and slower logistics chains are on the list.

Credits: Equity is produced by Theresa Loconsolo with editing by Kell. Bryce Durbin is our Illustrator. We’d also like to thank the audience development team and Henry Pickavet, who manages TechCrunch audio products.

OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger takes us back to the transformative moment he let his AI agent loose on the internet, igniting one of the world’s fastest-growing open-source projects. He makes a fascinating (and slightly unnerving) case that agents are a real shift, not just better versions of chatbots, and explores how they might reshape your ability to work, build and create. “The lobster is loose, and it’s not going back into the tank,” he says. (Followed by a brief Q&A with TED Chairman Chris Anderson) (Recorded at TED2026 on April 16, 2026)
