Elon Musk: A Hero's Journey (Big Shiny Takes ep42 w/ Paris Marx)

Published: Oct. 14, 2021, 8:04 p.m.

It is the opinion of the Big Shiny Takes Institute that billionaires have it too hard. Okay, sure: they have unlimited access to resources, are able to shape policy to benefit themselves and have the power of small nation-states – but have you considered how difficult it must be to have someone be mean to you on the internet?

On this episode Paris Marx (@parismarx), host of Tech Won't Save Us (@techwontsaveus) explains why there should be room for criticism of all billionaires while we read through one of the most tedious pieces of unfettered PR for Elon Musk that has ever been written at the Guardian by Canadian Gen X icon (lol) Douglas Coupland.
