Matt Damon: Solving for the Water Crisis 4/05/22

In an extended interview, Matt Damon and Gary White discuss founding their nonprofit Water.org, following over a decade funding global access to safe water and sanitation. The actor and engineer share their inspiration and motivation. Plus, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been appointed to Twitter’s board of directors after taking a 9.2% stake in the social media giant. In reaction, Twitter saw its best day of trading since its IPO in 2013. Shanghai has extended restrictions on transportation as cases rise and lockdown continues, and in the U.S., the Senate reached a deal on $10 billion in additional Covid funding just in case another Covid wave arrives stateside.
