Is Musk out?! Are We Rewarding Political...

Russell Brand
About this episode

Elon Musk is out??—booted from his government role as Tesla reels from plummeting sales?  Is this a victory for righteous protest or something darker? As Tesla burnings and coordinated boycotts spread, we ask: did public outrage cross a line into political intimidation? And if it worked, what does that mean for the future of dissent? Plus, this week we're hearing from members of our team—each one bringing a news item to the table for debate, dissection, and a bit of chaos.
