Episode Description

Elon Musk is talking about rockets, Mars, artificial intelligence, and the future of humanity.

Meanwhile, millions of people around the world are struggling with the present.

Which makes me ask the question - what happens when the people with the most money and influence are also the ones helping decide what the future looks like?

In this episode, we’re talking about Elon Musk, capitalism, innovation, extreme wealth, political influence, and the uncomfortable reality that the people imagining the future may also be helping decide what that future looks like.

This episode is not about pretending Elon Musk has achieved nothing.

It is also not about ignoring the harm and controversy surrounding him.

It is a conversation about ambition, power, wealth, and responsibility.

Because when some of the richest people on Earth are looking towards other planets…

what responsibility do they have to the one we already live on?
