This week on The Podcast we talked with Dom<\/a> about how conservative VCs are using their dollars to shape the world, and we spoke with Taylor<\/a> about how the Musk train just keeps on rumbling along.<\/p>\n On the topic of billionaires\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cA big chunk of the conversation that is missing is just that it\u2019s all about money, and that the economics of everything is what really drives politics and the motivations of politicians. So just monitoring how these ultra-conservative multibillionaires are wielding their money is just something to shine a light on, as to what the future could be,\u201d says Dom in the episode. \u201cIf the people who have all the money are the ones shaping the future, then where does that leave the rest of us, who can\u2019t compete with that?\u201d<\/p>\n And on the topic of Musk\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cElon Musk is like \u2018I\u2019ll buy Twitter, after all,\u2019 just a total about-face. The letter to Twitter has been filed with the SEC. Now, the SEC is a big deal, it can fine you, it\u2019s a really serious regulatory agency. With almost any other figure in tech, like that would mean it\u2019s a done deal. You tell the SEC something, you have to do it,\u201d says Taylor. \u201cBut it\u2019s Elon Musk, like he doesn\u2019t give a shit about the SEC. He doesn\u2019t care about anyone. He\u2019s rich enough not to have to care.\u201d<\/p>\n It was beyond awesome to host both of them on the podcast, and you can listen along on all of your favorite podcast platforms\u2026 or just hit play below to listen to the dulcet tones of microphone-mumbled news goodness right here in your browser.<\/p>\n
