Twitter just laid off three times the number of the entire workforce of Twitter. Mark Zuckerberg was a classy dude in something that's bad, and I haven't gotten one angry. Elon Musk turns Twitter into a masquerade ball; Jonathan Hight will speak to a friend of Pivot. John Glenn Hill: The weeds is here to slow you down with smart in-depth conversations about the policies, the politics, and the information you need ahead of the midterms.
Kara and Scott dissect what the FTX meltdown means for cryptocurrency, Meta's layoffs, and how the midterms might impact big tech. Friend of Pivot Jonathan Haidt stops by to talk about the impacts of social media on teens and society. And hours after our regular taping, we dragged Scott out of a fancy London bar to record an updated reaction to the latest Twitter news: Elon Musk was warning of a possible Twitter bankruptcy, while top executives were jumping ship.
