Episode notes

Josh musk says he was sceptical about elon's ability to will things into existence. The purchase price represents a 38 % premium of the unaffected a trading price before musk's stake was revealed. Josh has enormous respect for space ex an part because it's run by gwyn and i think it's just truly, like a superior competitive advantage to that industry. I think what they've done is clever. I think the people that they've hired as er are brilliant. And i don't think there's nything youcould tell me in the headligne right now that i wouldn't believe.
