All right, welcome listeners to episode 111 of Know Your Enemy.

I'm at Sitman, your podcast co-host, and I'm here as always with my great friend, Sam Hether Bell.

Hey, hey, Sam.

Hey, Matt.

Well, well, well, well.

It's finally here, our episode on Elon Musk, and actually, it turned into two episodes.

Yeah.

There was so much horribleness.

And intrigue and sort of detail.

Yes, that's right.

We started recording the episode and, you know, a few hours into our first evening when we had barely, you know, just gotten through Elon Musk's first years in Silicon Valley, we decided to call it there and then pick up

and record a second episode. So that's what we did. So this is the first in a two-part series.

Yeah. So this first part, which you're about to hear, we'll cover Musk's childhood, his family

and personal relationships, some of his early success in Silicon Valley. And then in the second

part, we'll talk more about contemporary matters, his Twitter acquisition, his move to the right,

and what this all means about our politics today, including, I should say, my unifying theory of

Elon's psychology, which you'll have to wait for the second part to hear.

Yes. So this is a lot of scene setting, acquainting listeners with this terrible man, Elon Musk, and the people around him, his family, business associates, and so on.

It's all very, very good. This is two full, excellent episodes

of Know Your Enemy for you all. And I do think Musk is enough of an important, unfortunately at

this moment, seemingly world historic figure that I doubt that our listeners will mind having

a couple extra hours of our analysis on him.
