Summary

Elon Musk has entered an agreement to buy Twitter and has vowed to make it more focused on freedom of speech. However, he is far from the only billionaire throwing his weight around. David Rothkopf and Kavita Patel talk with Wajahat Ali about Twitter and how billionaires are having an outsized say online and in the real world. What will Musk do with Twitter? Should the government be playing a larger role in regulating social media? How are billionaires using philanthropy to try and hide their moral failings? Find out on this insightful and also very funny conversation. Join us! Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
