About this episode
A U.S. federal judge has restricted some government agencies and officials from communicating with social media companies to discuss content. Twitter has implemented usage limits on its platform, and Meta has announced Threads , a Twitter competitor available through Instagram. Writer Walter Isaacson, currently in the middle of biographing Elon Musk, discusses the role of social media in politics, Elon Musk’s role in news and democracy, and Musk’s leadership, both at Twitter and at Tesla. Plus, CEOs at Pinterest, Peloton, and Hertz are raking in over $100 million a year–more than Apple’s CEO Tim Cook.
