Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by Lauren McGaughy, an investigative reporter and editor with the Texas Newsroom, based at KUT, who covers Musk and recently wrote about his secret emails with Gov. Greg Abbott, his fight with West Lake Hills neighbors over a fence, and how he successfully lobbied the Texas Legislature this year.
