The Trawl Drop-In: Musk, Money, Megalomania & Midterms

Elon Musk: once the poster boy for the future, now seemingly determined to make the present considerably worse. In this drop-in, Jemma and Marina dive into the world of the broligarchs, the extraordinary sums Musk is pouring into American politics and his increasingly personal obsession with Democrat James Talarico, who's taking on Ken Paxton in Texas. Meanwhile, Trump is busy discussing the physical attributes of his political allies.

The Trawl ladies discuss the power billionaires now wield over democracy, why Musk seems so rattled by the prospect of accountability, and whether money really can buy you everything.

Spoiler: apparently it can't buy you a functioning brain.

And, in a fitting finale, Elon Musk responds to a US senator with two words that rather sum up the level of political discourse we're dealing with.

Investigate your wiener.
