Trump's Tariffs, Elon's Government Takeover, and OpenAI's New Funding
Kara and Scott discuss President Trump's nonsensical trade war, and if there's an actual endgame to these tariffs. Plus, Elon Musk and his DOGE cronies get access to the federal payment system, and important information on government websites starts to disappear. Then, the winners and losers from Big Tech's recent earnings, and OpenAI in talks for a huge funding round.
This episode was recorded on Monday morning, before news broke that tariffs on Canada and Mexico would be paused.
