#218 November 8th, 2021 [Elon Musk: The Evening Rocket]

Love him or hate him, it’s hard to deny that Elon Musk is one of the most captivating and enigmatic human beings of our time. His unique view on the world, its problems, and how to go about solving them are not only ambitious, but they're the stuff of science fiction lore.

There's a reason for Musk's grandiosity or, at least there's a thread worth pulling at for Jill Lepore on Elon Musk: The Evening Rocket.

Trace Musk's roots from Pretoria to Saskatchewan, learn how his grandfather piqued young Elon's interests in technocracy, and wrap your head around how X AE A-XII got his name.

That's only in episode one.

The five-part series weaves some light-heartedness into a topic that many rightfully take seriously — how, and why does society allow extreme idolatry of the super-wealthy? Are those in the upper-crust of society really to be trusted with our collective and varied futures? Is Musk the visionary that can make a true difference or the lesser of a few different evils?
