New Twitter Boss, Musk Under Fire, Debt Ceiling Drama, CNN-Trump Tangle

Did Twitter side with Turkey’s authoritarian leader and suppress free speech ahead of the country’s presidential election? Ravi and Rikki dive into Elon Musk’s latest controversy, question his dedication to free speech, and predict how (or if) new CEO Linda Yaccarino will impact Twitter’s bottom line. The hosts then turn to the latest on the debt ceiling negotiations. Will Speaker McCarthy break from the more extreme wing of his party to make a deal, or is there a world where the Supreme Court has to step in to manage a potential constitutional crisis? Next, CNN faces a wave of scrutiny after hosting Trump for a town hall last week. Ravi and Rikki debate the network’s decision and the arguments for and against platforming the former president. Finally, Google has unveiled Bard, their new AI feature aimed at competing with ChatGPT, and the hosts explore what they know so far about its potential uses.
