The saga around Elon Musk's deal to buy Twitter has been just that:
a months-long soap opera involving lawsuits and subpoenas, the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission, even a town hall. But why does
Musk — one of the world's richest and arguably most influential men
— want with a social media platform?

Host Brittany Luse dives into the dreams and myths surrounding Elon
Musk with Jill Lepore, a political historian and host of the
podcast Elon Musk: The Evening Rocket. They look back at his
science fiction and fantasy influences and ask where his vision
could lead.

Then, Brittany brings on senior producer Barton Girdwood to play a
brand new game called, Sounds Fake, But OK.
