Bob Iger has just extended his contract until December 2026. Disney's direct consumer streaming services have lost $10 billion since 2019. Pixar's Elemental Flop adjusted for inflation had the animation studio's worst domestic opening effort with $29 million, although it's doing very well globally.
Kara and Scott discuss Tesla’s Cybertruck, Tucker Carlson’s new media company, and a drop in Threads engagement. Also, Bob One’s contract has been extended after a rough first year, and SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher has him in her crosshairs. Plus, Earth is experiencing its hottest days on record. What does that mean for politics and infrastructure? Then we’re joined by Friend of Pivot Ashlee Vance to talk all things space and Elon Musk.
You can find Ashlee on Twitter at @ashleevance and can buy his book here.
