| 0:10.0 | There's been a lot of incidents with electric cars in China that have copied the Tesla aesthetic where people have died. |

| 0:44.1 | Hello and welcome to Tech Won't Save Us, made in partnership with The Nation magazine. I'm your host, Paris Marks, and this month, Tech Won't Save Us is celebrating its sixth birthday, |
| 0:48.7 | and we're asking you, the listeners, to consider signing up on patreon.com, to help me keep doing this show, to help me |
| 0:55.7 | keep interviewing these critical experts so that you have a better understanding of how the tech |
| 1:01.1 | industry works, what these billionaires are up to, and how they're impacting the world that we |

| 1:16.4 | future could actually be. And that's so important. So if you do enjoy those conversations, |
