Musk Takes Over Our Government

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman break down a story that should be dominating headlines but isn't: how Elon Musk and a group of insiders allegedly seized access to the U.S. Treasury’s payment systems, giving them unprecedented control over government funds and classified data. How did this happen? Who tried to stop it? And why isn’t this the biggest news in the country right now? Then, we turn to the escalating trade war—Trump has slapped massive tariffs on Canada and Mexico, and now both countries are hitting back. What does this mean for consumers, businesses, and global stability? Spoiler: nothing good. Finally, a chilling economic shift is underway. Hedge funds are making enormous bets on a U.S. market collapse. Do they know something the rest of us don’t? And if so, how bad could things really get? Buckle up—this one’s big.
