The advertising boycott is expected to kill the company, but the advertisers deny responsibility. The speaker finds the situation bizarre and strange. A previous comment from Bob Eiger on Elon Musk is mentioned. The speaker believes that as societies become wealthier and more educated, the reliance on religion decreases, leading people to idolize technology leaders like Elon Musk.
We have a newspalooza for you today. Kara and Scott discuss Elon Musk's decision to put advertisers on blast, Henry Kissinger's death, Nikki Haley's next steps, those Mark Cuban political rumors, and Microsoft's non-voting seat at OpenAI. Then, guest Rob Copeland joins to discuss his new book, “The Fund: Ray Dalio, Bridgewater Associates, and The Unraveling of a Wall Street Legend.”
