Elon Musk couldn’t hide the problems his DOGE escapades have caused for Tesla during its earnings call. Plus, @parismarx talks to @GeoffDembicki about how Canada’s conservatives (and an AWS rep!) are planning for their own DOGE. Listen now: buzzsprout.com/2425400/episod…
We finally had to discuss how tech billionaires deploy science fiction to justify their pursuits, and we could think of no one better to discuss it with than @Annaleen and Charlie Jane Anders of @OOACpod! Listen here: buzzsprout.com/2425400/episod…
I had such a fun time chatting with @bcmerchant in this episode. We took a little break from our Elon Musk series to have a laugh digging into the latest Tesla and OpenAI news. Don’t forget to check it out!

OpenAI had a huge funding round that has AI bubble alerts sounding, and its latest insult to artists seems perfectly designed to distract people from it. Plus, things keep getting worse for Tesla, AI Overviews are tanking web traffic, and more! Listen: buzzsprout.com/2425400/episod…
