Twitter is in a race to the bottom right now. He's lost so much brand equity as a person and he's trying to do the same to Twitter. And unfortunately, he's got his hands on the wheel and everyone around him is a sycophant. This guy needs connective tissue. I'm trying to think of someone I could think of who would stop this. None of them will. They just they can't do it. No one.
Kara and Scott dissect what the FTX meltdown means for cryptocurrency, Meta's layoffs, and how the midterms might impact big tech.
