IPO to the Moon

About this episode

The episode discusses whether SpaceX is genuinely leading humanity to Mars or if it's a facade for an AI company preparing for IPOs.

Is Elon Musk’s SpaceX leading humanity to Mars? Or is that just grandiose window-dressing for an A.I. company leading several other A.I. companies to IPOs?  Guest: Max Chafkin , reporter with Bloomberg Businessweek and cohost of the Everybody's Business podcast.
