Epstein Files Fallout, Trump's Fed Chair Pick, and Musk Merger

The co-hosts dissect recent Epstein file releases, debating the culpability of figures named and the spectrum from criminal behavior to poor judgment. They then pivot to Trump's pick for Fed chair, assessing Kevin Walsh's qualifications and potential resistance to political pressure. The conversation shifts to Elon Musk's plan to merge SpaceX and xAI, with one host characterizing it as a strategic maneuver to buoy less successful ventures. They also discuss Amazon's potential investment in OpenAI and Anthropic's clash with the Pentagon over AI usage. Finally, they criticize Trump's financial gains linked to his presidency and discuss the mistreatment of immigrants in detention facilities.
