Elon Musk Doesn't Pay All That Much in Taxes
Ding-Dong of the Week
Compared to you, the listener of this podcast, Elon Musk doesn't have a very high tax bill. He got a little defensive about this on Twitter, saying something sort of convoluted about Tesla stock prices, but he might be missing the point. Also! He's planning to accept Bitcoins in exchange for cars once again someday. AND he likes to put video games in cars. All that and Jeff Bezos's voice. Do you have any idea what he sounds like? (spoiler: pretty goofy!) You will after you listen to this episode. Music credit: License:

Elon Musk's Autopilot Caused(?) Another Deadly Car Crash
Ding-Dong of the Week
A deep dive into self-driving Teslas and how you probably shouldn't use one. It's not fun to talk about someone dying (), but it's worth noting that the excuses Elon Musk and Tesla give for their fully self-driving cars causing deaths aren't very good. Also, a little bit more about company towns, in light of the company town Elon appears to be building. And a silver medalist who is flamin' hot.

Ding-Dong of the Week

Also, he wants to dig tunnels under Miami. And his flamethrowers are causing problems for people. Music credit: License:
