A few professional Gen X geeks dissect the tech news train wrecks of the week, calling out what went wrong and who’s to blame. Think of this podcast as if Kurt Cobain threw down with Tom from MySpace, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg in a back alley brawl.

EP 731, Follow Up: #X faces an #EU probe for illegal #deepfake content. #Tesla fans can’t find the "unsupervised robotaxis" #Musk swore existed. And #Polymarket is making bank betting against his promises. Truly a golden age for accountability - just not for Elon. gog.show/731 #podcast
