Musk goes all-in for Trump

The billionaire boss of X, Tesla and SpaceX is backing Donald
Trump in the US election, so what are his motivations and how
should politicians deal with him?


Amol and Nick talk to Ryan Mac, a reporter at the New York Times
and author of ‘Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter’.


Plus, they’re joined in the studio by Kirsty Young to talk about
the new series of Young Again, the art of the long-form interview
and her poignant speech as the coverage of the Queen's funeral
drew to a close.
