Andrew Egger and Ben Parker talk Elon’s terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day after an embarrassing loss for Republicans in Wisconsin, his rumored impending exit from the the White House, and clear messages from Tesla stocks.
More Ben on The Bulwark. Truthfully I would like you to host a Bulwark book club. Loved the one with your mum. I need recommendations so I can take my mind off of all of the insanity.
I can take it or leave it with James Carville but he predicted a spectacular collapse within 30 - 90 days about a month ago. National Security, Immigration, Tariffs, Doge. across all the verticals its a collection of arrogant incompetent 3rd string Fox flunkies
Let us enjoy it please! It helps to fill my liberal tears’ well so I can have more than enough to share with MAGA who apparently are addicted to 😢 or some shit
I think Teslas number are actually considerably worse when you consider their claimed pre-orders. I put down $100 refundable deposit on a cyber truck before I saw the final design. When I finally saw the design, I cancelled my order and to date, Tesla has refused to refund the money or cancel the order. I wonder how many of their claimed pending orders are also fake.
He needs to testify before Congress. Not sure if as a private citizen "fired" by Trump Dems would have more leverage to make that happen. We need a public accounting of everything he's done at DOGE and what he's doing with the our data. There needs to be a second reckoning for this man.
Trump is in the business of hiring fall guys, and Elon doesn’t care who thinks what. I suspect he imbedded code in all those government computers he used, to free up government money for his projects. The Donald thinks he has a friend, and he does, much like his bromance with Putin and Kim Jong Un.
Good episode.

Andrew - enjoying your work.
Musk is not going away.
I thought I saw a headline pass by that Musk is being asked to step down from the Tesla board.
Keep calling it, Twitter or the ex Twitter.
I like calling it TwiX. If everyone started calling it TwiX it would be a god-tier troll to force Elon Musk into a copyright battle with Mars.
You guys nead to realize that the tapping sounds of your hands on the table make this unlistenable on podcast.

I guess Elon didn’t learn from the BudLight marketing fiasco.
People of conscience shouldn't engage in schadenfreude and yet. . . .
two gooey scoops for everybody!
If Trump/Musk schadenfreude is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.

The clusterfuck is greater than the sum of its parts!”
Good podcast. Please put your microphones on rubber mats and some room treatment. The booms are killing me
I will gladly be your sound consult just for my own benefit lol

Allen Weisselberg was born to go to jail for Trump. ;-)
One good day — at last. Wisconsin, thank you. I knew you weren’t as stupid as Elon thinks you are, Kyle Rittenhouse notwithstanding
Just a nit to pick - Rittenhouse lived in Illinois. He just went to Wisconsin to cause trouble.
True, Hortense. I remembered that later.
Sometimes there just too much to keep track of.
So happy today! There are a few cracks starting to emerge, small cracks, but cracks nonetheless!
couldn’t happen to a more deserving person
