Tesla is Tanking. What That Means for Elon Musk and DOGE ft. Geoff Dembicki

Brian Merchant, Paris Marx, Geoff Dembicki Episode 20

Elon Musk is trying to clean up the mess his DOGE escapades have made for Tesla — and it’s not going very well. Brian and Paris dig into the terrible news he had to share in the company’s earnings call and whether we should really believe his claims about scaling back his DOGE involvement next month. Either way, the right still loves the idea: Paris speaks with DeSmog Global Managing Editor Geoff Dembicki about a recent conference where Canadian conservatives — including an Amazon senior principal in public policy — laid out their vision for how to create a DOGE that can wreak havoc of its own on the Canadian government.

Geoff Dembicki wrote about how Canada’s conservatives are planning for their own DOGE.
