Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, isn’t on the ballot for
the 2024 U.S. election, but he might as well be. Elon has become
one of the Trump campaign’s top surrogates, top donors (over $119
million through the America Pac), and controls a main megaphone for
pro-Trump propaganda at X. Kara and three other Musk experts
discuss Elon’s outsized impact on the election, why Trump has been
referring to him as the “Secretary of Cost-Cutting”, and why Musk
& his businesses (X, Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink) stand to gain, no
matter who wins. Guests: Tim Higgins, The Wall Street Journal
columnist and author of Power Play, Tesla, Elon Musk, and the Bet
of the Century Zoë Schiffer, director of business and industry at
Wired and author of Extremely Hardcore, Inside Elon Musk's Twitter
Eva Dou, The Washington Post Tech Policy Reporter Questions?
