Twitter's new CEO, Elon Musk, has laid off half of the company's workforce. He is also bringing in people who are either right-wing or kind of represent the worst of Twitter and his kiss up buddies. "I think actually new ideas, quite frankly, layoffs, a jolt and adrenaline, control to the heart and making decisions quickly"
Kara and Scott question Elon Musk's sense of humor after he bans comedian Kathy Griffin (and others who spoofed his account) over the weekend. They also talk about the layoff trend in the tech industry, as Meta reportedly prepares for a massive reduction in its workforce this week. Friend of Pivot Matt Stoller stops by with reasons to be optimistic about the fight against corporate monopolies.
