In episode 53 of cult and culture, Luke and Justin go slightly off the beaten path of their usual to speak with Connor Musarra: an artist, producer, content creator, musician, performer etc. whose work is informed greatly by, and in some ways inextricable from, the internet and social media. Connor talks about the process behind this approach. They discuss about how he gained recognition across news outlets for impersonating the Tesla account on X, creating a song called "Elon Musk can go fuck himself," the catharsis of embracing absurdity and humor in life, the bastardization of calling oneself an activist in the digital age, the political utility (or lack thereof) of art, and the fear of the repercussions that can come with speaking out about topics seen as controversial in the social media space.
