    The podcasting world shook on May 20th when Joe Rogan announced that the Joe Rogan Experience would be exclusively on Spotify.

The power play of the decade was made by Rogan to remove his show from the platform that arguably brought the podcast to the mainstream.  Youtube will undoubtedly see more creators especially within the podcasting niche flee the platform for more sustainable options.  Subsequently, this episode of Oddly Observant breaks down the chess board that is the podcast industry after the conclusion of the historic podcast IP deal.  More Details On Joe Rogan & Spotify Deal Spotify Stock Reaction Article: https://oddlyobservant.com/spotify-stock/ TikTok: OddlyObservantPodcast

    #020 Tesla, Elon Musk, Cyber Truck

    Tesla newest vehicle Elon Musk led the Tesla Cyber Truck reveal about a month ago. To say it caught the media's attention would be an understatement. In the recent months Elon worth and Tesla’s stock price have been running up in response to the company’s new factories and vehicles being completed. Surprisingly, the Cyber Truck show blew the lid off of social media. Elon Musk threw a heavy stainless steal ball at the “bullet-proof” glass. Therefore, in embarrassing fashion the glass broke and instantly the video was trending across the globe. Was this planned by the genius Elon Musk, or was this totally random?  Subsequently, the aftermath on social media led to a record amount of pre-orders to be paid for the Tesla Cyber Truck.

The sky is not even the limit for Tesla and the rest of Elon Musk’s initiatives. He also is moving at breakneck speed on the SpaceX rocket that will carry people to moon and beyond. The future is looking bright in the transportation industry for the first time in ages. Take a look at tesla.com for more information on the different models of the upcoming Truck!
