Finding Common Battle Grounds

S04E15 - Tesla Terrorists and Signal Stupidity


Listen Later

In this episode of Finding Common Battle Grounds, Ryan and Josh hold down the fort without Tom, who’s mysteriously absent—prompting wild speculation about his whereabouts, from fighting in Ukraine to joining Elon Musk’s secret DOGE team. The duo dives into a discussion about recent left-wing criticisms of Tesla and Elon Musk. Josh questions the strategy of targeting Tesla to hurt Musk, arguing it's both ineffective and misguided given Musk’s vast resources. Both agree that targeting Tesla owners isn't a great idea, especially since most of them are left-leaning individuals who bought Teslas to be environmentally conscientious. We then turn to a discussion of the recent Signal scandal, where top-level members of the Trump Administration invited the editor of The Atlantic into a Classified Signal chat and then proceeded to discuss an attack on Houthis in Yemen. We also agree that this was a reflection of incompetence and stupidity. Ryan gets Josh to admit that there is rampant hypocrisy on both sides of the aisle - if Hillary Clinton had done this, Pete Hegseth's head would have exploded on Fox News about how bad it is and that she should be put to death. Instead, Pete Hegseth denied he did anything wrong and instead pilloried the journalist and The Atlantic, which Josh admits isn't good.
