118 | ONE TRILLION DOLLARS

The Captain and Mr. Green dive into the trillion-dollar economy of modern villainy — from Elon Musk's $1 trillion pay package to the expanding shadow of the Nothing Corporation and the rise of the Dark Orbit. We talk: • Trillion-dollar compensation and the myth of genius • Government shutdowns as content strategy • Gil's golden shield — the rise of the nepotism cyborg • The Dark Orbit — building the universe's villain council • Gremlins 3, The Mummy, and nostalgia as economic fuel It's an hour of improvised worldbuilding, late-stage capitalism, and the comforting realization that evil scales faster than empathy.
