How It Happened

Favorite (in all his previous stories as well)has been Jonathan Swan, the Maggie Haberman of Axios but with a different slant.. but am really enjoying the ins and outs of Elon Musks vs Twitter coverage.. was looking forward to the trial but anticipate the recent takeover drama / immediate changes made …if this will be part of final podcast.

Someone clipped your golf cart turning a corner in a factory and that makes one of the most revolutionary companies today "unsafe"? Lol. Building autonomous cars and spaceships has risk. If we avoided the risks you cite we would never have these amazing advances. You're naive to think we could without risk. You may disagree with his opinions, but you can't denigrate a pioneer who take on the "risks" 99% of people don't even think are possible. Twitter is the LEAST risky of all of his ventures. YOU give Twitter the social power it has, and you don't have to. I'm not on Twitter, but I know free speech always outweighs speech you disagree with.

Pandey’s reporting isn’t as strong as other Axios staff. Her style and sound conjure up an air of high school morning announcements subtracting from the subject matter instead of anchoring and holding the audience’s attention.

Episode 2 of the Musk/Twitter season cites California OSHA data to make a point about teslas safety record. “Tesla has three times more safety violations in that period than all the other car manufacturers combined”. Wow that’s a dramatic figure! I could hardly believe it. Then after just a moment of scrutinizing that in my head I realize that it’s because Tesla is the ONLY car manufacturer mass producing vehicles in California. Whoever looked up that data clearly knew that it was poor data to use and misleading and yet they still put it in the episode. When I listen to reporting I want to be able to relax and learn. I don’t want to feel like I need to scrutinize everything I hear so I’m not mislead. Unacceptable.
