Podcast appearances and mentions of Elon Musk

Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok is generating roughly one nonconsensual sexual image per minute on X. It's not just celebrities - victims include images of children, dead bodies, and Holocaust survivors. This week, users asked Grok to create a sexualized AI image of Renee Good's dead body, the woman shot and killed by ICE in Minnesota. And Elon? He's posting jokes about it. We break down how we got here, why it's only getting worse in the US, what some countries are trying to do about it, and what happens when the richest man in the world builds AI specifically for abusers.

Season 6 is here. New year, new me, new pod. Let me be clear. Nothing changed. Same chaos. Same button. Same “what are we doing?” energy. Appreciate the 2,249-ish of you who keep showing up. If you haven't yet, hit subscribe, hit like, and ring the bell so you get the quack ding whenever I drop an episode, clip, short, or whatever we're calling content in 2026.We kick off Episode 219 with the New Year's trip recap. Megs and I dipped out to Myrtle Beach for the reset. Quick flight. Good food. All you can eat crab legs. Then I get into my favorite Myrtle Beach activity, Dirty Don's oyster shooter flights. Old Bay rim, oyster in hand, vodka in the glass, chew three times, no more, then send it. If you're ever down there, go do it. Tell them Levi sent you. Let Dirty Don know Daddy brought you.Then we talk about Elon Musk's Grok and the internet doing what the internet does. People are using Grok like a public “edit button” on other people's photos. “Uncrop this.” “Remove this.” “Put her in this.” You get the idea. I tested it privately with Megs and with myself, for research, and the results were way too realistic. Which leads to the real conversation. AI has legit business value, I use it daily, but the moment it turns into public, weaponized creep behavior, the arguments against it start sounding strong.After that, we hit the student loan mess. Wage garnishment is back on the table, and millions of people are in default. I break down what this looks like in real life. People choose rent, groceries, and basic survival over sending hundreds of dollars a month to a loan from when their frontal lobe was still loading. I go on a full spiral about how the system pushes people into “pay it off if you're the 1%” or “join the military” as the only way out, and how insane it is to treat lifelong debt like a normal rite of passage.Then we get into the Venezuela situation and the “we're running your country now” energy. I talk through the oil angle, the absurd press conference quotes, the action movie vibes, and the fact that we're living in a timeline where the mission gets described like a film trailer. I also connect it to the Fire Fest universe, because of course I do. If you thought we were done weaponizing bad ideas, welcome to 2026.I pivot into something practical for local business owners. Going live is the cheat code. I talk about real examples like Amici's Pizza and Connor's hot dog cart pulling insane local traction by streaming consistently. If you run a storefront business and you need people to walk in and hand you money, stop treating your phone like the enemy. Put it on a tripod, throw on a mic, go live during your hours, talk to the chat between customers, and build local momentum. Then I give my favorite pro tip. Block people you know. Your audience isn't your high school class.We wrap with two more heavy hitters. Trisha Paytas saying she wants to run for Congress, and me realizing that if that's the bar, I might have a shot too. Then we close on the Pennsylvania grave robbery story that had everyone texting me. A guy allegedly stole over 100 sets of human remains and had them in his basement and storage unit. Skulls, bones, torsos, the whole nightmare. I break down the details, the local connections, the alleged selling angle, and how posting evidence on social media is the dumbest crime strategy imaginable.Season 6 is underway. It's already unhinged. More episodes, more podcasts, more studio builds, more chaos.Watch the episode. Then go to wawdpod.com to catch the latest uploads and the newest Season 6 drops.

Welcome back to the digital wasteland, fellow survivors. We kick things off in the FOLLOW UP by marking a year since the LA Fires—hello, PTSD—alongside a 4th Strokiversary and three years of sobriety, all while wondering why America is currently obsessed with shooting its own civilians in the face.In the IN THE NEWS segment, Wired is finally teaching us how to protest safely in the age of surveillance, and the EFF is cheering on the hackers fighting ICE's Nazi-adjacent tracking tactics. Meanwhile, Meta is harvesting your AI chats for targeted ads, Disney is paying $10 million for spying on kids, and Grok has spent the holidays generating nonconsensual child abuse material—a problem Elon Musk won't have to legally reckon with until the Take It Down Act hits in May. Instagram's Adam Mosseri has basically surrendered to the AI "slop", suggesting we fingerprint "real" media because the fake stuff has already won the war.As we continue the descent, OpenAI is launching a ChatGPT Health portal despite their "loser energy" and compute limits, while Character.AI and Google are quietly settling lawsuits for bots that encouraged teen suicide. Polymarket gamblers are learning that "decentralized" juries will fist you over the definition of an "invasion" just as fast as a bank. Uber showed off a new Lucid-based robotaxi, but we're pumping the brakes on the safety hype given that autonomous vehicles are five times more likely to crash at dusk. To wrap up the news, Tim Cook took home $74 million last year, which is a lot of "systematic philanthropy" he could be doing right now instead of just writing checks to his own ego.In MEDIA CANDY, we're suffering through the Stranger Things wrap-up and a John McTiernan holiday marathon, though the real highlight is MTV Rewind's tribute to music videos. We've got Traitors, The Pitt, and even a John Candy doc on the list, while APPS & DOODADS brings us the DJI Osmo 8, Victrola's turntable-vibrating speakers. At least California's DROP tool lets you purge your data from 500 brokers at once.Finally, we go to THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE to hear Dave Bittner rant about holiday tech support, health insurance gouging, and Dave Filoni taking the Star Wars reins. We close out with a look at ILM's 50th, the deepfake porn cesspool formerly known as Twitter, and a birthday toast to the Starman himself, David Bowie.Sponsors:CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

Hi. On today's episode, comedy writer Rachel Van Nes (IG: vannes.expressions) joins Katy, Cody, and Jonathan to discuss the murder of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis and the Trump administration's ludicrous attempts to justify it. Plus, they talk about how Elon Musk is bizarrely not in prison for, among other things, allowing (and joking about) his chatbot's ongoing digital abuse against women and children.Also, it's our 400th episode of EMN!Note: Rachel's audio is rough during the intro, but it gets fixed after a few minutes.And as always, we recorded right before that big thing that happened.PATREON: https://patreon.com/somemorenewsMERCH: https://shop.somemorenews.comYOUTUBE MEMBERSHIP: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvlj0IzjSnNoduQF0l3VGng/join#ICE #JDVance #evenmorenewsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

X, formerly Twitter, is facing a global backlash because users are directing the platform's AI chatbot, Grok, to generate non-consensual intimate imagery. Users have been popping up in the replies of women — and sometimes minors — tagging Grok and asking it to generate images of them in bikinis or undressed.The company and its owner, Elon Musk, have both clarified illegal content will not be tolerated on the platform.Plus, President Donald Trump signed an executive order late last year aimed at blocking states from enforcing local AI regulations — something a majority have adopted in some form.And, Meta is a victim of its own success. Its new Ray-Ban smart glasses are selling too fast to keep up with demand.Marketplace's Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Maria Curi, tech policy reporter at Axios, to discuss all these topics on this week's Marketplace Tech Bytes: Week in Review.

The US president, Donald Trump, has met top American energy executives in the White House, saying his government will choose which US firms can exploit Venezuela's vast oil reserves.

From one judge to another- Jephthah was a judge in Israel for a relatively short amount of time, but much is written about his life. In contrast, what we know of other judges like Ibzan, Elon, and Abdon is much more obscure. God was preparing Samson to be the next deliverer of Israel during this time.

Today we're unpacking the details of the craziest split of 2025, talking all things Kardashian money & also how Elon Musk comes up with his baby names (he's had to come up with a few).... ENJOY ❤️See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss what the so-called “Donroe Doctrine” means for international order after the US military extracted Maduro from Venezuela amid rumblings over Greenland and Cuba, the background and evolving situation in Minnesota after an ICE agent killed a woman during a raid, and how changes to the federal recommended childhood vaccine schedule dangerously denormalize routine vaccines with guest Dr. Josh Sharfstein, Professor of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University.  For this week's Slate Plus bonus episode, Emily, John, and David discuss reports that X chatbot Grok is making nonconsensual sexualized photos of women and children at user prompts, Elon Musk's reaction, and how to stop it.   In the latest Gabfest Reads, David Plotz talks with Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales about his new book The Seven Rules of Trust: A Blueprint for Building Things That Last. They discuss how Wikipedia's culture of assuming good faith and shared purpose became a model for building trustworthy digital communities — and what lessons that holds for companies, social media, and politics today.   Email your chatters, questions, and comments to gabfest@slate.com.

Election fraud is exploding back into the spotlight as President Trump floods social media with hard-hitting clips calling the 2020 election "the greatest theft in U.S. history" and demands Republicans immediately abolish mass mail-in voting. We break down his direct message to the GOP, the viral White House post on Mike Pence's "betrayal," and the chilling "This is How They Stole It" video that's lighting up feeds. Plus, we expose the chaos in Minneapolis of an ICE-involved shooting where video clearly shows a woman ramming an agent, yet Ilhan Omar calls her a "legal observer" and Mayor Frey tells ICE to get out fueling protests and proving anti-ICE rhetoric has real consequences.Brooklyn prosecutor Michael F. Vecchione, former Chief of Homicide & Rackets who took down corrupt judges and politicians, joins us to dissect the airtight federal case against Nicolás Maduro. From narco-terrorism and life-sentence charges to the notorious conditions at MDC Brooklyn where Maduro is held pretrial, Vecchione reveals how prosecutors build unbreakable corruption cases against heads of state, the defense strategies Maduro might try, and why this historic prosecution could reshape U.S.-Venezuela relations forever.We close with the massive Minnesota welfare fraud hearings blowing up on Capitol Hill Rep.

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – As protests erupted and the regime scrambled to manage public perception, Starlink quietly did what governments and global institutions so often fail to do: it empowered ordinary people with the ability to see, communicate, and organize beyond the reach of authoritarian control. Elon Musk has repeatedly stepped in during moments of crisis, providing...

In this episode of Knock Knock Eye, I start by breaking down Elon Musk's latest medical hot take. The idea that everyone should get a yearly full-body MRI interpreted by AI. Then I talk about why I finally said screw it and paid cash for my own medical care after insurance insisted my testicles might have magically regenerated. And finally, a mystery case that starts as blurry vision and floaters and ends with one of the rarest eye cancers we see: primary vitreoretinal lymphoma. It's a diagnosis so uncommon that even ophthalmologists joke it's a unicorn, but this patient had the real thing, and the outcome might surprise you. Takeaways: Why Elon's “everyone needs an annual full-body MRI” idea collapses the moment you ask, “Okay… and then what?” How insurance companies can deny treatment you've been on for years and why cash pay sometimes feels like freedom. The subtle signs that blurred vision and floaters might be something far more serious than posterior uveitis. Why diagnosing primary vitreoretinal lymphoma requires suspicion, surgery, and a pathologist who knows what they're looking for. How aggressive treatment, including injecting chemotherapy directly into the eye, salvaged this patient's vision and kept cancer from spreading.

Walter Isaacson (The Greatest Sentence Ever Written) is a biographer, historian, and Professor of History at Tulane University. Walter returns to the Armchair Expert to discuss why he embeds himself into the lives of his subjects to write about them, how empathy can get in the way of success, and discovering the secret sauce of Elon Musk. Walter and Dax talk about his interest in people that try to learn as much as possible about everything knowable, the belief that growing up as a misfit can instill the drive seen in innovators of the modern age, and why an understanding of engineering is crucial to the political and philosophical conversations taking place today. Walter explains evaluating truths in the original draft of the Declaration of Independence, the struggle and strategy to create common ground throughout American history, and his assertion as a historian that even heroes have great flaws and villains have backstories.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

 ICE agents surge across Minnesota, arresting 1,000 illegal aliens and more than 150 criminals as democrats sharpen their claws on Elon Musk, Nick Shirley and President Trump for exposing and then amplifying news of the state's widespread Somali fraud. California's education fraud may break taxpayers' bank as a suspected $250 BILLION of scams and schemes may have been perpetrated across the state. Harry Enten debunks pollsters who say Trump has fallen out of favor with his conservative base.

Gary discusses recent comments from some leftists about "taxing rich people"—like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk—at a higher rate. This is such an illogical idea, for many reasons, as Gary makes clear. People rarely think beyond their own situation and are driven by envy to "get those rich people."

He joins WITHpod to discuss advancements in autonomous tech, the impact on jobs, safety concerns and more.

Trump wanted to alpha male and take some oil, Hegseth wanted to bomb something, Rubio wanted Maduro gone, and aggrieved Stephen Miller wanted to bully the weak. The White House eventually settled on Venezuela as the best place to take out its aggressions and drive home its anti-immigration message. And now the administration finds itself depending on an acting Venezuelan president who has a long history of being extremely anti-American. Jonathan and Tim take a deep dive into the back story of our latest international intervention. Plus, the State Department is trying to deport an activist against online hate as a favor to Elon Musk.Imran Ahmed and The New Yorker's Jon Blitzer join Tim Miller.show notes Jon's reporting on Venezuela's acting president Jon on the administration's chaos in the Caribbean  Imran's Center for Countering Digital Hate  "Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here," Jon's book— recommended by a number of Tim's guests  Bill and Tom Joscelyn's retrospective on the fifth annivesary of Jan 6 

This weekend America went on the offensive: U.S. Delta Force raided Venezuela, capturing Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores in a swift hit-and-exit operation. Indicted in New York for narco-terrorism, cocaine trafficking, and weapons conspiracies, Maduro appeared in court claiming “prisoner of war” status while AG Pam Bondi announced the takedown. Former CIA Station Chief exposes the deeper ties Cartel de los Soles, Smartmatic, Dominion, Huawei, China, Serbia, and the CIA all linked in a global election fraud network. This isn't about oil; it's about unraveling the stolen-election cartel that's infected democracies worldwide.Elon Musk dines with President Trump and hints “2026 is going to be amazing,” while Joe demands: no machines, no mail-ins, precinct-level counting with ID only. The pieces are falling into place fraud exposure is coming fast. Meanwhile, Trump's UN Ambassador Waltz declares the Western Hemisphere off-limits to Russia, China, and Iran, and Trump puts Denmark on notice over Greenland. Protests erupted across the U.S. and world, with paid agitators (including Central CSO-linked groups) pushing division while Venezuelans call out the liberal mobs.NYC's new socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani kicks off with a subway photo-op and vows to replace “rugged individualism” with collectivism. His team's agenda—tenant director Cea Weaver, Muslim call-to-prayer pushes, and radical rhetoric signals Dearborn and Minneapolis-style transformation for the Big Apple. NYC is cooked, the blueprint is clear, and the left's vendetta is in full swing. This is the weekend the tide turned, wake up, get loud, or watch it all collapse.
