Deep dives
Elon Musk's Endorsement of Pizza Gate and QAnon
Elon Musk becomes the third billionaire, after Trump and Notch, to endorse or embolden Pizza Gate and/or QAnon. The connection between billionaires and these conspiracy theories seems over-representative compared to their overall numbers. Musk's endorsement has given a new spotlight to the ancient conspiracy theory that birthed QAnon, bringing it back into the public discourse and amplifying its reach.
Elon Musk's Controversial Tweets and Advertiser Boycott
Elon Musk's controversial tweets, including one endorsing an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory, have led to advertisers boycotting Twitter. Companies like Apple, Disney, and Coca-Cola have removed their ads from the platform, potentially resulting in a loss of up to $75 million in revenue for Musk's company, X. Despite the backlash, Musk has doubled down on his controversial statements and dismissed the boycott, showing little concern for the financial impact on his company.
Elon Musk's Connections to Jeffrey Epstein
While there is no direct accusation of Elon Musk being involved in illegal activities, his connections to Jeffrey Epstein raise questions. Musk was photographed with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's associate, and reportedly had lunch with Epstein after he served time in jail. Additionally, Epstein boasted about a lunch meeting with Musk at the TED conference. The exact nature and extent of their connections remain unclear, but there are multiple instances suggesting a connection between the two.
Elon Musk's QAnon Reference and PizzaGate Endorsement
Elon Musk tweeted out a reference to QAnon and shared a meme featuring characters from The Office discussing PizzaGate, leading to excitement and validation among QAnon believers. Musk's trolling intentions irritated many, considering the history of harassment and harm caused by these conspiracy theories, particularly towards the family of Seth Rich. The incident highlights the influence powerful individuals have in reviving and promoting harmful conspiracy theories.
The Irresponsible Spread of Conspiracy Theories
The podcast episode discusses the continuous circulation of conspiracy theories and the obsession with uncovering new pieces of information to validate these theories. It highlights the dangerous impact of influential figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Elon Musk, who have the resources and platform to revive and amplify baseless claims. The episode also points out the unrealistic optimism and refusal to acknowledge past failures that drive conspiracy theorists to continually believe in the next revelation that will vindicate their views, perpetuating a cycle of misinformation and radicalization.

Which is why he'll appreciate our "jokes" about his connections to Jeffrey Epstein. Plus we chat about Marjorie Taylor Greene attempting to revive the Seth Rich conspiracy theory.
