The Space Show Presents Dr. Doug Plata on Elon Musk, Sunday, 11-16-25Brief Summary: The program began with technical discussions and introductions for a space show featuring Dr. Doug Plata as the guest, followed by coverage of Blue Origin's successful New Glenn launch and their future plans including a NASA moon mission. The conversation then delved into Elon Musk's motivations and ventures, exploring how his philosophical beliefs about life's meaning and civilization's future have driven his various companies including SpaceX, Tesla, and Twitter. The discussion concluded with an analysis of Musk's influence on AI development, population concerns, and his acquisition of Twitter, while emphasizing the importance of truth and careful decision-making in his future endeavors. Dr. Plata said he that for this discussion, he wanted to “address how Elon came to his personal philosophy after an existential crisis of meaning when he was age 12 and his belief that what is most important is the survival of human intelligence and civilization explains very well why he puts his personal time into some ventures (e.g. SpaceX) and why he doesn't put much time into others (e.g. Boring Company). The civilizational aspect explains his pro-natal arguments / actions and also his apparently counter-productive foray into Twitter and politics.”Detailed Summary: We started out by talking about the significance of the recent Blue Origin launch before David introduced Doug as the guest for the Sunday afternoon West Coast Space Show. David mentioned upcoming guests for the week, including Leonard David, Eric Berger, Cat Bolish, and Dr. Avi Loeb. As Wisdom Team then discussed Blue Origin's successful New Glenn launch, which delivered two NASA satellites to Mars and landed on a drone ship. They praised the landing accuracy and the innovative landing system that uses sparks to secure the rocket on the ship. Doug mentioned that Blue Origin is planning to launch their own Kuiper (rebranded to Leo) constellation, which will provide revenue for the company. We also discussed Blue Origin's upcoming moon mission for NASA's Artemis program and potential future launches for the Department of Defense, pending certification by the Space Force.Our team discussed Elon Musk's philosophy and ventures, with Doug presenting a hypothesis that Musk's search for the meaning of life drives his focus on advancing human civilization through technology. They explored how Musk's experiences, including an existential crisis at age 12 and his fascination with “Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,” shaped his belief that the path to understanding the universe's meaning is through technological advancement and exploration. The discussion highlighted how Musk's ventures, from SpaceX to Twitter, align with this philosophical perspective, though some participants expressed concerns about his political involvement.The team discussed Elon Musk's motivations and communication style, with David questioning whether Musk cares about public perception and Marshall comparing him to other engineers who pursue leading-edge technology. Doug presented research on Musk's childhood, including his struggles with bullying and depression, and how reading “Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy” helped him develop a philosophy of curiosity. The discussion touched on Musk's autistic traits and his ambitious projects, with Marshall noting that his success allows him to pursue risky ventures without financial ruin.Doug discussed Elon Musk's ventures and philosophy, focusing on how his actions align with his existential goals of preserving human intelligence and finding the meaning of life. Doug explained that Musk's creation of SpaceX and Tesla, despite their initial financial risks, were driven by his desire to establish a self-sustaining city on Mars to ensure humanity's long-term survival. The discussion also touched on Musk's transition to sustainable energy through Tesla and his role in the current administration, with Peter noting that the media's portrayal of Musk has changed over time.Doug led a discussion about Elon Musk's motivations and ventures, focusing on his founding of SpaceX in 2001 after being frustrated by the lack of access to rocket launches for his Mars Oasis project. They explored how Musk's concerns about energy sustainability and civilization's future influenced his decision to start Tesla, which he viewed as part of a broader strategy to transition to an electric economy. The discussion also covered Musk's approach to other ventures like The Boring Company, noting that while he supported and promoted these projects, he delegated day-to-day leadership to others as they didn't align as closely with his existential and civilization-focused goals as SpaceX and Tesla did.We discussed Elon Musk's ventures and their potential connection to his goal of establishing a human colony on Mars. They explored how projects like Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, and humanoid robots could indirectly support Mars development through revenue generation. Marshall and Doug agreed that while these ventures aren't essential for Mars colonization, they have valuable side benefits. The conversation also touched on Musk's concerns about AI's existential risks, including his involvement with OpenAI and his recent call for a pause in AI development to address these concerns.Our Wisdom Team discussed Elon Musk's views on AI and population decline. Doug explained that Musk has shifted from being an observer to an active participant in AI development, aiming to direct its growth in a beneficial way. They also discussed Musk's pronatalist views and concerns about population collapse in Japan and South Korea. Marshall and Doug shared statistics on fertility rates in China and the United States. David raised concerns about Medicare fraud and suggested that government support for IVF could help address declining birth rates. This part of the conversation concluded with a brief discussion on Musk's involvement with Twitter and his political stance.The team discussed Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter and his philosophy regarding free speech as essential for technological advancement and civilization's progress. They explored how Musk's political actions, including his support for Trump and concerns about immigration, were motivated by his belief in preserving Western civilization and free speech. The discussion concluded with concerns about misinformation surrounding Musk and the challenges of finding accurate information about his ventures, with Philip suggesting the need to combat misinformation with truth rather than counter it with more misinformation.A big part of the discussion focused on Elon Musk's influence and future impact, with Doug presenting a comprehensive analysis of Musk's ventures and motivations. They explored Musk's role in AI development through Neuralink, with concerns raised about AI's potential to outpace human capabilities. The panelists agreed that while Musk's ventures have been largely positive, he should be cautious about AI development and political involvement. The discussion concluded with messages to Musk emphasizing the importance of truth, careful decision-making, and continued focus on space exploration.Please note that our guest, Dr. Doug Plata, is a practicing medical doctor, not a psychologist or psychiatrist. The analysis and ideas he presented regarding Mr. Musk were his own.If you are listening to the audio of this program on The Space Show website, you might want to check out the Zoom video on our Substack page, doctorspace.substack.com.Please remember we are in our annual fundraising drive to support the program for 2026.

Broadcasting live from the Shenandoah Valley, Ghost unpacks a wild week of global developments, from Alaska to Africa, in a fast-paced, signal-heavy episode of Geopolitics with Ghost. He kicks off with Kirill Dmitriev's viral posts about the proposed “Putin–Trump Tunnel” under the Bering Strait, linking Russia and America through Elon Musk's Boring Company. Ghost connects the project to JFK's “World Peace Bridge” vision, Trump's phone call with Putin, and the quiet alignment between Moscow and Washington that's already reshaping the global order. From there, he covers Hungary's nuclear partnership with the U.S., Trump's rare earth deal with Australia, and how Africa is becoming the new frontier of sovereignty, with Ethiopia, Nigeria, and the DRC leading the charge through nuclear development and anti-globalist movements. The show closes with deep dives into Lavrov's peace negotiations, Mike Tyson's symbolic visit to Congo, and Trump's fiery warning to Colombia's president over cartel ties. Sharp, funny, and fearless, this episode captures Ghost at his analytical best, decoding the clues, connecting the dots, and revealing how the world's new alliances are forming right before our eyes.

It's Monday, October 20th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes, written by Jonathan Clark, heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  Filling in for Adam McManus I'm Ean Leppin. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Human Rights Conference in Berlin Highlights Christian Persecution Human rights experts met in Berlin, Germany last Wednesday, highlighting the increased persecution of Christians worldwide.  The International Society for Human Rights released a new report on Christian persecution at the conference.  The report notes that Christians suffer under dictatorial states like China, Cuba, and North Korea. They remain victims of discrimination and violence without state protections in countries like Egypt, Syria, Nigeria, India, and Myanmar. And believers face persecution in Islamic republics like Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan.  The conference also highlighted the suffering of Ukrainian Christians under Russian occupation. Johann Matthies with the Evangelical Alliance in Germany said, “Russian occupation authorities are specifically targeting Ukrainian religious communities: they are pressuring churches to cooperate or destroying them if they refuse.” Psalm 34:15-16 says, “The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry. The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.” President Trump Continues Efforts to End Russian-Ukrainian War U.S. President Donald Trump continues his efforts to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. President Trump spoke over the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin last Thursday. He then met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House last Friday. President Trump also plans on meeting with President Putin in Budapest, Hungary in the coming weeks. Listen to comments from President Trump. TRUMP: "I met with President Zelensky, as you know, today, and we had a very good meeting; very cordial meeting. In my opinion, they should stop the war immediately. You stop at the battle line, and both sides should go home, go to their families, stop the killing, and that should be it. Stop right now at the battle line. I told that to President Zelensky. I told it to President Putin. Thank you very much, everybody." Russia Proposes a Rail Tunnel Under the Bering Strait Reuters reports Russia proposed a “Putin-Trump” rail tunnel under the Bering Strait to link the two nations. The eight billion dollar proposal follows President Donald Trump's phone call with President Vladimir Putin. Russia's proposal would involve building a 70-mile rail and cargo tunnel between Alaska and Russia's eastern region of Chukotka. The plan suggested Elon Musk's Boring Company for the construction project. President Trump called the idea “interesting,” saying, “We'll have to think about that.”  Trump Moves to Reduce the Cost of IVF Last Thursday, President Donald Trump announced a deal with the pharmaceutical industry to reduce the cost of in vitro fertilization. The Trump administration hailed the move as pro-family. However, pro-life groups are criticizing the plan.  LifeSiteNews noted, “The IVF process is gravely unethical as it entails the conscious creation of scores of ‘excess' embryonic humans only to be killed and human lives being treated like commodities to be bartered over. It has been estimated that more than a million embryos are frozen in storage in the United States following IVF, and that as many as 93 percent of all embryos created through IVF are eventually destroyed.” Conservative Anglicans Split from the Church of England Conservative Anglicans formally split from the Church of England last week. The Global Anglican Future Conference, also known as GAFCON, declared itself to be the Global Anglican Communion. It will no longer participate in meetings called by the Church of England's Archbishop of Canterbury.  Sarah Mullally is the recently appointed Archbishop of Canterbury. She is the first female to hold the position and supports same-sex blessings. Bishop Laurent Mbanda is the chairman of the GAFCON Primates' Council as well as the Primate of Rwanda. He wrote, “We cannot continue to have communion with those who . . . abandoned the inerrant word of God as the final authority.” Isaiah 8:20 says, “To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Pew Research: Divorce Rates are Down in the U.S. And finally, Pew Research reports divorce rates, and specifically refined divorce rates, are down in the U.S. Unlike the overall divorce rate, the refined divorce rate takes into account changes in the number of people who are married at any given time.  This refined divorce rate peaked in the U.S. around 1980 at 22.6 divorces per 1,000 married women. By 2023, it had declined to 14.4 divorces per 1,000 married women.  The report noted that married men are more likely to be employed than divorced men. Also married adults have higher household incomes and hold more wealth than divorced adults.  Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, October 20th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

The Kremlin proposed an $8B Bering Strait tunnel linking Russia to the U.S., asking Elon Musk's Boring Company to build it and suggesting it be named after Putin and Trump.https://wilwaldon.com

This week, Guest Host Donovan Adkisson joins Jason DeFilippo to wade through the usual tech chaos; California is attempting to regulate the inevitable AI companion chatbots, which is timely, considering ChatGPT is about to launch erotica (with age verification, natch). Turns out, most of the world is less stoked about our algorithmic future than Silicon Valley is. Speaking of chaos, Elon Musk's Boring Company racked up nearly 800 environmental violations in Vegas, and his Starlink satellites are burning up the atmosphere, validating the Kessler Syndrome predictions (and ruining backyard astronomy). On the ground, Georgia Tech is deploying drone first responders, ensuring campus security is instantly airborne, while the UK's Online Safety Act slapped 4chan with a hefty fine. We also mourn a Crypto Kingpin who met his end in a Lamborghini following a market crash. Finally, beware that "perfect" house listing, as the owner likely used AI to virtually enhance that curb appeal.It seems even the guy who coined the term "Vibe Coding" admits that relying on AI for complex software is "Net Unhelpful," proving that humans still have to do the heavy lifting—a fact Uber might ignore, as they plan to pay drivers to train AI between rides. Speaking of dumb human stunts, some genius launched the "World's First Waymo DDoS" by summoning 50 robotaxis to a dead end. On the entertainment side, it's time to binge Gen V before Season 5 of The Boys drops; also, why did Apple rename Apple TV+ to Apple TV? The guys also discuss the eternal cultural resonance of Idiocracy and the perfection of Galaxy Quest (and its fantastic documentary, Never Surrender). On the work front, Jason switched back to Things 3 because life is too short for ugly software, even as Windows 10's impending end-of-life threatens to create an e-waste disaster. Also, Wi-Fi 8 is coming soon, because the recently ratified Wi-Fi 7 just wasn't cutting it.Finally, the Grumpy Old Geeks wish a happy birthday to friends of the show and offer remembrance for the recently deceased, including screen icon Diane Keaton and KISS founding member Ace Frehley (though, honestly, no one here watched KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park).

Palisades Fire Aftermath and In-N-Out Expansion GUEST NAME: Jeff Bliss Jeff Bliss discusses the aftermath of the Palisades fire, noting that Adam Carolla, who lost his home, believes rebuilding is stalled by political forces seeking subsidized housing or natural restoration. An arrest was made in Florida for Jonathan Flendernik in connection with the fire. Video evidence suggests the LA Fire Department failed to fully extinguish the initial fire, which spread through root systems. In business news, the family-owned In-N-Out chain, known for high profits and employee treatment, is expanding with five new stores. The Boring Company's Prufrock tunneling machine is operating in Las Vegas. 1919

CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1909 DR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE LA FIRE RESTORATION...... 10-10-25 FIRST HOUR 9-915 Palisades Fire Aftermath and In-N-Out Expansion GUEST NAME: Jeff Bliss Jeff Bliss discusses the aftermath of the Palisades fire, noting that Adam Carolla, who lost his home, believes rebuilding is stalled by political forces seeking subsidized housing or natural restoration. An arrest was made in Florida for Jonathan Flendernik in connection with the fire. Video evidence suggests the LA Fire Department failed to fully extinguish the initial fire, which spread through root systems. In business news, the family-owned In-N-Out chain, known for high profits and employee treatment, is expanding with five new stores. The Boring Company's Prufrock tunneling machine is operating in Las Vegas. 915-930 Mixed Economic Signals and High-Tech Development in Lancaster County GUEST NAME: Jim McTague Jim McTague reports on Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, which is introducing high-tech industry by building two data centers on the former RR Donnelley printing plant site. Construction is underway on the L-shaped, two-story building. Anecdotally, the local economy shows mixed signals: two young people were seen signing up for the National Guard, suggesting tight employment, while an entrepreneur boasted of successful property investments. Consumers are cautious, engaging in "inflation shopping." 930-945 The Perpetual Conflict Over Executive Power and the Rise of Lawfare GUEST NAME: Professor Richard Epstein Professor Richard Epstein analyzes the perpetual clash between executive and congressional power, particularly regarding the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974. He notes the Roberts court generally protects executive power. The dispute over fund impoundment, seen in Department of State et al. versus AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition, reflects deep polarization, hindering compromise. Epstein criticizes the use of lawfare, exemplified by the indictments of Letitia James and James Comey, stating it fails long-term and leads to cycles of violence and discord. 945-1000 The Perpetual Conflict Over Executive Power and the Rise of Lawfare GUEST NAME: Professor Richard Epstein Professor Richard Epstein analyzes the perpetual clash between executive and congressional power, particularly regarding the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974.

SECOND HOUR 10-1015 NPT Enforcement and the Golden Dome Defense Concept GUEST NAME: Henry Sokolski Henry Sokolski, executive director of the Non-proliferation Policy Education Center, debates whether the US should abandon the 1970 Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), citing foreign criticism and industry constraints. He argues the US should stay to enforce the NPT by clarifying red lines, justifying the bombing of nuclear facilities. Sokolski also discusses the proposed Golden Dome defense system, intended to protect the Western Hemisphere against missiles and drones. The viability of the system, particularly regarding Low Earth Orbit defenses, remains unclear and requires greater Congressional buy-in. 1015-1030 NPT Enforcement and the Golden Dome Defense Concept GUEST NAME: Henry Sokolski Henry Sokolski, executive director of the Non-proliferation Policy Education Center, debates whether the US should abandon the 1970 Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), citing foreign criticism and industry constraints.

He recalls the 1980s Ronald Reagan tax cut where promised spending cuts never materialized. The deficit is the annual gap between taxes and spending, accumulating into the national debt. Michel identifies a "deficit hawk coalition" split between deficit hawks (agnostic on revenues/spending) and budget hawks (concerned with government size), advocating for spending cuts to solve the crisis. Entitlement programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are the root of fiscal problems. 1045-1100 The US Fiscal Crisis: Spending Cuts Are the Only Way Out GUEST NAME: Adam Michel Adam Michel, director of tax policy at the Cato Institute, discusses the US fiscal crisis stemming from large deficits and overwhelming debt.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Roman History: The Rivalry Between Cicero and Clodius GUEST NAME: Professor Josiah Osgood Professor Josiah Osgood discusses the end of the Roman Republic. The scandal involving Publius Clodius Pulcher disguising himself as a woman at the women-only Bona Dea ceremony led to his trial. Cicero testified against Clodius, leading to a dangerous rivalry. Acquitted, Clodius won election as tribune, passed a law targeting Cicero for executing citizens without trial, and destroyed his Palatine Hill mansion. Later, Cicero was present during Julius Caesar's assassination, though not involved in planning. 1115-1130 Roman History: The Rivalry Between Cicero and Clodius GUEST NAME: Professor Josiah Osgood Professor Josiah Osgood discusses the end of the Roman Republic.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Trump's Diplomatic Triumph: Expanding the Middle East Peace Consensus GUEST NAME: Conrad Black Conrad Black discusses the ceasefire deal between Gaza, Hamas, and the Israeli Defense Forces. He praises President Trump for his astute diplomacy in attracting sympathy from Arab states and non-Arab Muslim countries apart from Iran, such as Indonesia and Pakistan. Black considers this the greatest diplomatic success in the Middle East since the establishment of the state of Israel. The consensus, achieved by expanding the negotiating scope, is that established states are preferable to terrorist operations. 1215-1230 Italy's Rising Diplomatic Status Amid Economic Headwinds GUEST NAME: Lorenzo Fiori Lorenzo Fiori details Italy's enhanced diplomatic role, noting that Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has been invited to the Israel-Gaza peace agreement signing. Italian carabinieri are already training local police near the Rafah border. Meloni has friction with French President Macron over migration policy and Africa. Italy's production index has fallen below mid-2021 levels due to weak internal demand and the highest energy costs in Europe. Mr. Trump restored Columbus Day, and AC Milan owner Cardinale received honorary Italian citizenship. 1230-1245 Space Updates: NASA Administrator, Reusable Rockets, and Satellite Cell Service GUEST NAME: Bob Zimmerman Bob Zimmerman discusses the potential renomination of billionaire Jared Isaacman as NASA administrator, noting Isaacman's previous private manned space missions.

In an exclusive from ProPublica reporter Anjeanette Damon and City Cast co-host Dayvid Figler, a new letter from the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) accuses the Boring Company of nearly 800 violations of a regulatory agreement in the last three years. The agreement was intended to hold the tunneling company, which has plans for 68 miles of Tesla Tunnels under Las Vegas, accountable for regular testing and oversight. But the fines proposed by NDEP for these violations amount to roughly $250,000 — just a fraction of the $3 million they could've levied. So what happens now? Co-host Sarah Lohman sits down with Anjeanette and Dayvid to learn more.

This week on Grumpy Old Geeks, we're diving headfirst into the digital dumpster fire, starting with follow-up that will make you wonder if the rich are finally getting their comeuppance. It seems Tesla's market share is plummeting, and Elon Musk has been unceremoniously knocked off as the world's wealthiest person. Meanwhile, OpenAI and Microsoft are flirting with new partnership terms, and OpenAI is also reportedly cozying up with Oracle for a cloud computing deal. Are they figuring it all out or just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic? You decide.In the news, it's a feast of AI-induced chaos. Anthropic attempted to settle a copyright lawsuit for $1.5 billion, but a judge rejected it. Apple faces scrutiny for allegedly using pirated books to train AI (because who needs original ideas when you can just steal them?), and everyone from Reddit to Yahoo is rushing to get paid for their data being scraped by AI. Google even admits that the open web is struggling, while pushing ads into AI-generated answers and trying to convince us that DOGE never existed. Meanwhile, millions of YouTube videos have been copied by AI companies—because why create when you can just steal? Not to mention, The Boring Company reportedly stopped tunneling after a "crushing injury" (ironic, huh?), Zuckerberg and Palmer Luckey are teaming up again like a disastrous boy band for military-grade goggles, and Meta whistleblowers are exposing child safety issues. Plus, a hot mic caught Zuck groveling to Trump—the cringe is real. And if that wasn't enough, it turns out AI usage is actually declining at big companies, and programmers using AI are creating more security risks than a screen door on a submarine. It's almost like we saw this coming.For your Media Candy fix, get ready for a dose of existential dread. The MTV Video Music Awards are still happening in 2025, with a median viewer age of 56—because nothing screams "youth culture" like osteoporosis. We'll wonder if Wednesday (aka Charlie Sheen) is still winning and discuss Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Amazon Music is launching AI-powered playlists (because who needs a human DJ when you can have an algorithm that thinks it knows your soul?), and Deezer claims 28% of all new music is AI-generated. Taika Waititi is developing a "potentially disastrous" Fyre Fest musical (we're excited!), Foundation is renewed for season 4, and the HBO Max CEO thinks it's "way underpriced"—bless his heart. Plus, more Highlander reboot news that will probably disappoint, and a look at The Missi & Brooke Show and The Traitors Ireland.Finally, in Apps & Doodads, bad news for AirPods Live Translation in the EU, Evernote and WeTransfer's owner is buying Vimeo, and you need this pettable Poké Ball Tamagotchi-style toy. In The Dark Side with Dave, we'll discuss The Princess Bride, how tariffs are ruining hobbies, and who wants "slop for their ears." This episode shows that some things never change, and most things are just getting worse.

The Nashville Innovation Alliance got a boost from the mayor recently, but, uh, what is it? And why does it involve genetic information? City Cast contributor Nicole Williams joins host Marie Cecile Anderson and executive producer Whitney Pastorek to try and figure that out. Plus, the Boring Co. has a strange sense of the word “confidential,” the law threatening elected officials with jail time for supporting “sanctuary policies” is unconstitutional, and an Eric Clapton fan had a big night out.

In this episode of Pushing the Limits, Lisa Tamati sits down with Cern Basher, financial analyst and commentator, to explore how Elon Musk's companies are not just reshaping industries but also driving us toward an entirely new economic and technological system. We break down Tesla's disruptive role in the automotive and energy sectors, SpaceX's transformation of space access, and how Musk's broader ecosystem, including Starlink, Neuralink, and The Boring Company, represents a coordinated push to re-engineer our future infrastructure. Cern explains how these companies function as a parallel system, shifting us from legacy industries and centralised control toward decentralised, tech-driven frameworks. We also explore: Tesla's market dominance and its implications for energy sovereignty SpaceX and the geopolitics of global satellite communication The Musk “ecosystem effect”, how each company feeds into the other The financial, cultural, and political risks that accompany these transitions How investors and everyday people can position themselves in this shift If you want to understand how the Musk industry empire is changing the way we live, work, and build wealth, this conversation is for you.

For a brief moment, it looked like our part of the state could have played host to an underground atom smasher. The conversations around the Boring Co.'s planned Music City Loop today holds some parallels. Plus, the local news for September 10, 2025, and this week's edition of What, Where, Whens-day. Credits: This is a production of Nashville Public RadioHost/producer: Nina CardonaEditor: Miriam KramerAdditional support: Mack Linebaugh, Tony Gonzalez, LaTonya Turner and the staff of WPLN and WNXP

This week's Friday News Roundup has everything: celebrity courtroom drama, Tesla Tunnel weirdness, and an underground bunker house straight out of a sci-fi movie. A ⁠legal battle⁠ between Blake Lively and Perez Hilton is playing out right here in Vegas — raising big questions about gossip, journalism, and free speech. Co-host Dayvid Figler is joined by artist Brent Holmes and Hey Las Vegas editor Rob Kachelriess to make sense of it all. They also dig into why the Boring Company wants to ⁠build apartments⁠ (with barely any parking!) over one of its tunnel stations, and the city's infamous Underground House is ⁠back on the market⁠, and we've got some very bad ideas about who should buy it.  Want to get in touch?

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk marked the one-year anniversary of Autonomy Markets and discussed the reignited debate between LiDAR and vision-only after comments made by Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi during an interview. During the interview, Mr. Khosrowshahi stated that in the short term, a combination of camera, LiDAR, and radar is the “right solution,” noting that all of Uber's current partners use this combination. This statement prompted a response from Elon Musk, who argued via a post on X that LiDAR and radar actually reduce safety due to “sensor contention” and reaffirmed Tesla's commitment to a camera-only system. Beyond the technical debate, Grayson and Walt discussed Tesla's expanded Robotaxi service in Austin and the growing opposition to a potential Waymo deployment in New York City.Episode Chapters0:00 One-Year Anniversary of Autonomy Markets2:14 Dara Khosrowshahi Reignites LiDAR vs Vision-Only Debate9:24 Elon Musk's LiDAR Rebuttal 11:49 What if Tesla Embraced LiDAR?14:29 Robotaxi Expands in Austin, Once Again18:14 Traffic Fatalities 20:32 Waymo Begins Testing in New York City26:06 Boring Company is Testing FSD Supervised in Las Vegas29:07 Stellantis Shuts Down Internal ADAS Development Program31:28 Next WeekRecorded on Thursday, August 28, 2025--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

Despite years of reporting on safety oversights, environmental mishaps, and dodgy regulation, the Boring Co. doesn't seem to be slowing down: Now, the company wants approval from the Nevada Transportation Authority to let their Teslas use city streets (essentially operating as taxis) — and as the Nevada Current just reported, the proposal might not even get a public hearing. So today, co-host Dayvid Figler sits down with transportation planning expert Ray Delahanty, AKA CityNerd, who just posted a video titled "The Vegas Loop Is Getting Progressively More Stupid."
