The Genius Episode: Ben Franklin & Elon Musk 4/06/22

Filmmaker Ken Burns’ new two-part documentary on PBS documents the life and complicated legacy of Benjamin Franklin. The documentarian joins Franklin biographer Walter Isaacson to discuss how the founding father shaped not only our country, but America’s everyday life, language, education system, and economy. Contemporary innovator Elon Musk is also shaping our daily lives, albeit differently: the anchors discuss his ambitions for Twitter and his multifaceted legacy–flamethrowers, rockets, and all. Plus, CNBC’s Phil LeBeau reports on JetBlue’s $3.6 billion offer for Spirit Airlines, and whether regulators will show as much skepticism as Wall Street analysts.
