Summary

Episode 771: Neal and Toby cover Elon Musk’s merging of SpaceX and his AI company, xAI, and why this may be the most ambitious move yet. Then, Disney has a strong quarter thanks to its theme parks and streaming business (no surprise there), but it also plans its near succession of Bob Iger who plans to step down before his contract expires (hopefully). Next, Toby dives into the trend of minivans becoming the hottest vehicle coming off lots as millennial moms and dads need more space for their families. Meanwhile, a Youtuber who wrote, directed, and starred in his own self-funded movie has quietly dominated the box office.  Get your tickets for the Morning Brew Variety Show! https://tinyurl.com/MBvariety  Learn more about Sandals at sandals.com  Subscribe to Morning Brew Daily for more of the news you need to start your day.
