This week Darrell talks with Taylor Hatmaker about Elon Musk officially buying Twitter. He also talks with Amanda Silberling about Youtuber MrBeast’s business and why a billion-dollar-plus valuation for it makes us nervous. Plus he chats about the scoop of the week with Kirsten Korosec who broke the news that Argo is shutting down. And as always, he breaks down the biggest news in tech this week.

Articles from the episode:

  • Is MrBeast actually worth $1.5 billion?

  • Elon Musk owns Twitter: The story so far
  • Read all of TC’s coverage on Mosk buying Twitter here
