We hear a lot about this guy, why not a little more. This podcast is doing a series on Musk that is quite revealing, totally worth a listen if you are interested in business or tech.

They are currently on part 2 of 4.

I'd love to go a goddamn day without hearing about this man. The media's bizarre fascination with him is entirely unhealthy.

On one hand I agree, I am sick of seeing his face everywhere. But at least people are finding out what kind of a guy he really is. Maybe fewer people will fall for his garbage.

Also I cant think of another public figure who has self-destructed to such a degree.

[–] bbbhltz@beehaw.org 4 points 11 months ago

I agree with that. I didn't plan on listening to this at all, but I needed some background noise while cooking.

He ruined his own image, the day he called the (British) Thai cave rescue diver a "pedo guy". Now he is just an immature figure to gossip about.

I'll give this a listen! There was a good Search Engine podcast about Elon Musk's weird antics recently and I'm keen to hear more. Dude's fucked and I love watching his fall from grace. I doubt someone that wealth will ever truly fuck off though. We're going to hear about him forever.

That was a great episode of Search Engine. As soon as I heard the part about him doing ketamine it clicked into place. Don't do drugs kids!

[–] insurgenRat@beehaw.org 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Drugs are great, you take them too most like (caffeine, ethanol, theanine etc). It's the power that fucked that shit head up.

Loads of people take ketamine and just like appreciate jazz or some other banal shit.

[–] flora_explora@beehaw.org 3 points 11 months ago

I 100% agree. Ketamine is also in research trials to help with depression.

I don't listen to many pods but this is one I listen frequently. Much recommended

[–] J_C___@lemmy.place 4 points 10 months ago

Do they sit him down and ask him some hard questions because I think that's the only Musk content I can tolerate anymore

[–] itmightbethew@beehaw.org 2 points 10 months ago

I'm waiting for all 4 to drop so I can binge them. I mostly don't want to hear about him - need to be in the right angry mood, like shortly after he does something monumentally stupid.

While I don't think he's doing some kinda 4 dimensional chess, I think he is trying to stay talked about, like Trump does.

It's a great podcast though. Been listening for awhile.
