We've finally gone and done it, our official breakdown of our generation's Scrooge McDuck, Elon Musk. From saying he wants to destroy the ‘woke virus’ and spreading racist conspiracy theories on X, to pushing right-wing ideologies in the US, Germany and the UK - Elon’s moved from being a punch-line in a joke about Grimes to being a serious political actor.
In this week’s episode, hosts Ione and Gina dive into Elon’s full history and answer the big questions. How is he using his wealth to influence politics? How has he transitioned from a left-leaning tech CEO to an alt-right icon? And is he using his son X Æ A-12 as a child-sized assassination shield?
