Some DOGEy Geezers ft Paris Marx


Listen Later

Paris returns to the pod to talk about Elon’s first few weeks running the US government, and the mysterious group of teenagers he’s hired to find copper wire. We talk about the ideological origins of DOGE, some of the characters that make up the group, and what Elon’s other business strategies suggest about the true purpose of the department. We also talk about the political uses of austerity in the American context,  how this ultimately serves to benefit a more power hungry Silicon Valley, and the need to dismantle American control of the internet itself.
