You're Doing Great, Sweetie ft. Jathan Sadowski (Patreon)

Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, we have had little choice but to address the current and ongoing "Elon situation" at Twitter. We're joined by Jathan, co-host of This Machine Kills, and the author of Too Smart: How Digital Capitalism is Extracting Data, Controlling Our Lives, and Taking Over the World,  to try figure out what Elon's strategy actually is, or if he's too trapped in grievances to think about running Twitter as a business. We also talk about what Elon gets right - namely, a recognition that social media platforms don't really have any value in and of themselves - and how this exposes the shams and illusions of the content economy that govern much of our lives today.
