Summary
Elon Musk is the world's richest man, owner of the biggest media platform and the new President's latest bed fellow. Is X now an arm of the US government? And what’s happening to the podcast space in America? Why can’t centrists find the influence that the Right wields there?
Later, Estonia's Foreign Minister tells us that British NATO troops in his country can be deployed within days to fight Putin. They’re both dreading and expecting an invasion.
