Elon Musk Tweet Ukraine Putin Trump trolley tram problem

Elon tweets a lot, but after Friday's shitshow, he posted something dumb enough to preserve. He, of course, doesn't mean a word of it but is just doing PR for the president of at least one country. Still, it's remarkable how little he thinks of his own Twitter followers.

https://www.youtube.com/embed/o6WZy08QlRI?si=C_OKzcWssMyFAifR This interview with Ash Sarkar covers lots of things, well beyond Elon Musk: the nature of the current conjuncture, crisis or 'vibeshift'; the threat of the Trump presidency and authoritarianism; the state of neoliberalism; the challenges and contradictions confronting the Labour government; and more.
