Nostalgia Trap - Episode 299: The Man Who Sold the World w/ Max Chafkin (TEASER)

Max Chafkin, author of The Contrarian: Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley's Pursuit of Power (see Episode 294), returns for a conversation all about SpaceX cowboy Elon Musk. Is this guy a tech genius saving the planet from climate change and launching us into a beautiful robotic future, or a capitalist huckster whose only talent is convincing authoritarian states and a loyal fanbase of angry bros to support his business ventures? As Max and I explore in this episode, why not both? To hear the full episode: patreon.com/posts/episode-299-man-57888655
