This is the final episode of Elon, Inc., and it comes at a fitting point in the story of the highly controversial entrepreneur Elon Musk. The podcast was launched around the time the South Africa native bought and rebranded Twitter, transforming a mainstream social media platform into something else entirely. Now, the podcast has found a natural conclusion with his full return to his companies, his exit from the Trump administration and the unprecedented governmental upheaval, mass firings and grim global consequences left in his wake.To reflect on this tumultuous timeline, David Papadopoulos gathers the best and brightest Elon Musk experts the Bloomberg newsroom has to offer—including Bloomberg Businessweek’s Max Chafkin and Bloomberg News Musk reporter Dana Hull, technology reporter Kurt Wagner and editor Sarah Frier—to go through the most memorable Musk stories from the past few years and to peek into the future of Musk’s empire and potential political ambitions. Among the stories we discuss are Musk’s outburst directed at advertisers at the New York Times DealBook summit, that time when Musk and President Donald Trump were hawking Teslas from the White House driveway and the right-wing multibillionaire’s “awkward hand gesture.” But in the end, is there any story that can top the rise and fall of the Musk-Trump friendship? Probably not. Musk spent hundreds of millions of dollars getting the Republican back in the White House, but their partnership didn’t make it past the summer. As Chafkin says, “that was obviously the Elon feud to end all feuds.” When it comes to looking forward, speculation abounds, but one thought in particular wins the group’s approval: Hull’s prediction that the South Africa native will one day make good on his promise to open a candy company. As the Elon, Inc. podcast rides into the sunset, future Musk coverage will find a home on the new Bloomberg podcast, Everybody’s Business, co-hosted by Stacey Vanek Smith and Chafkin.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
SummaryIn this week's episode of Startup Junkies, host Daniel Koonce sits down with Lori Hull, founder and president of Spectrum Independence Living, better known as SpIndL. Lori shares her inspiring journey as a parent of a young adult with autism, the struggles she's faced finding support services, and her determination to create real change in her Arkansas community.SpIndL was founded to help neurodivergent adults, particularly those with autism, bridge the daunting gap, often called the “services cliff,” that follows high school graduation. As Lori explains, many support systems available during school years fade away in adulthood, leaving families feeling isolated and young adults without the tools they need for independent living. SpIndL steps in to provide life skills coaching, job readiness training, social opportunities, and eventually supported housing. Their goal is to help neurodivergent individuals gain confidence, find meaningful work, and live independently.Additionally, Lori highlights the power of community alliances, affordable solutions (including scholarships for coaching classes), and the transformative impact of social events like game nights. The episode offers practical advice for caregivers, educators, and business leaders about fostering inclusivity and dismantling barriers to employment and independence. SpIndL's vision for the next five years includes expanding job support, building alliances, and eventually creating a neurodiversity-supportive community.

HOAH HULL CONCLUDES THE WEEK WITH NOAH PLAYS PIANO...GUESS WHAT? HE PLAYS PIANO! SONGS INCLUDE SUNRISE, REFLECTIONS, MILES, RAIN AND OLD PHOTOS
Jasun Horsley was born into a family of the British 'elite'. When he was a child he was unaware that his paternal grandfather, Alec Horsley, Oxford Balliol graduate and founding member of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, was also a Fabian and helped found the Hull branch when he was Sheriff of Hull. Jasun's father also rubbed elbows with characters like Sir Richard Acland, Bertrand Russell, and the Paedophile Information Exchange, a British pro-paedophilia activist group. Jasun was made aware that his family's circle of influence were mockingly called “champagne socialists,” and that the family business, Northern Foods was in cahoots with other notable corporate giants, while being a major player in world business. One thing was clear to Jasun from an early age, he had no interest in joining the family business! At 18, he inherited a small fortune from his father, which landed him in New York as an aspiring filmmaker. Upon his discovery of "The Teachings of Don Juan" through the works of Carlos Castaneda he decided that sorcery was a truer and more adventurous path. He later concluded that there was much congruity between the film industry and sorcery, which was later explored in his book "Seen and Not Seen: Confessions of a Movie Autist" that examines the military-entertainment complex, and how American movies have become weaponized. Jasun's pursuit of sorcery knowledge led him to Oaxaca, Mexico, and then to New Mexico, where he made a "misguided" attempt to start an intentional community, after which, at age 24, he disinherited his fortune and disappeared to Morocco, with nothing but a poncho and meager belongings. Some thirty years since, Jasun has continued his introspection into the ways in which popular culture, alternate or “counter-” culture, politics, and pseudo-spiritualty are all limbs of a covert, multi-generational, social-engineering octopus that includes occult societies, intelligence agencies, and organized crime networks. While spanning centuries along many disparate groups, ideologies, organizations, and agendas, Jasun has determined this “superculture” to be largely consistent in its aims, principles, and methods. Join us in this free-flowing discussion as Jasun and the Alfacast crew review his many provocative works for an insider's view of the world through the eyes of the so-called "elite".

For decades thousands of pregnant women across the UK were prescribed the drug Diethlystilbestrol or DES, a synthetic hormone that was meant to help prevent miscarriage. But the drug left a legacy of life-altering health problems for some of their children, including infertility and rare cancers. Anita Rani speaks to ITV Social Affairs Correspondent Sarah Corker who has investigated what they are calling a medical scandal that continues to devastate lives, talking to the women who say more must be done to help those exposed to the drug as new concerns emerge over the impact of DES on a third generation. Author Heather Morris wrote The Tattooist of Auschwitz, which went on to become one of the bestselling books of the 21st century. Her new novel, The Wish, follows Jesse, a 15-year-old with terminal leukaemia who wants to have a digital 3D recreation of her life for her family and friends. To accomplish this, she connects with Alex, a lonely CGI designer. The book explores their unlikely friendship and its impact on both of their lives. Heather joins Anita to talk about mortality, family, healing through connection and what it means to be remembered.Last week we heard from three women who have had a loved one take their own life. They spoke honestly and movingly about what happened to them in the immediate and long term aftermath of such a loss. Today we are taking a look at the historical context of suicide. Anita speaks to BBC New Generation thinker Dr Stephanie Brown, who is Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Hull and doing research in this area. In 2023 Sophie Ellis-Bextor's Murder on the Dancefloor went viral on TikTok after Emerald Fennell used it in a key scene in the film, Saltburn. That resurgence, along with her popular Kitchen Discos that got lots of us through the lockdown set the scene for her bravely titled new album, Perimenopop, which is released tomorrow, a celebration of womanhood in middle age. Sophie joins Anita in the Woman's Hour studio.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Corinna Jones

Labor Day is generally a slow news day in the US. But this year it happened to be the day Elon Musk chose to unveil Tesla’s “Master Plan, Part 4.” Since its first installment in 2006, the electric vehicle-maker’s future roadmap has been seen by some as a big part of the company’s identity. The latest version comes at a critical moment for the company. With Tesla sales down in many markets, tepid interest in new models and high-profile controversies often stemming from its voluble CEO, his right-wing politics and association with Donald Trump—the stakes are high. In this week’s episode of Elon, Inc. Max Chafkin invites Bloomberg automotive editor Craig Trudell and Elon Musk reporter Dana Hull to discuss the document and the state of Tesla. Most noteworthy in the report they say is a newfound focus on robots, specifically the humanoid autonomous Optimus model. As a matter of fact, Musk himself followed up on X and claimed in his usual hyperbolic fashion that around “80% of Tesla’s value will be Optimus.” But what about the cars? Trudell says he remembers the priorities around the previous big Tesla plan in 2023 (a year before Trump was re-elected) and how they have changed. “Right around that time, this was a company that was all about sustainable energy,” Trudell says. Now “it’s all about AI, it’s all about robots, it’s all about self-driving cars.” Hull takes things a step further and pinpoints what she says is a potential weak point for the company: “I think that Tesla has a real marketing problem where you have a CEO who is clearly bored of the car industry.” But more broadly, regarding the question of whether the company will be able to turn it’s struggling car business around, Chafkin has a theory. “It feels like there’s a little bit of an effort, maybe even a deliberate effort underway to untangle Elon from the future of Tesla,” he says.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Donna Adelson Trial: Forensic Accountant Mary Hull Tracks the Money In the afternoon session, numbers took center stage as forensic accountant Mary Hull delivered detailed financial testimony in the Trial of Donna Adelson. Hull broke down financial patterns tied to convicted hitmen Luis Rivera and Sigfredo Garcia, while also analyzing transactions linked to Katherine Magbanua. Her findings showed unusual spending behavior and suspicious money flows that prosecutors argue were part of the conspiracy's financial web. Hull's testimony was powerful because, unlike memory or hearsay, numbers leave a paper trail. She explained how the Adelson family's money may have been used not just for lifestyle support, but as leverage—quietly funding and binding co-conspirators to keep the plot intact. For the jurors, Hull's testimony reminded them that emotional outbursts and family drama make headlines, but money makes cases. If her numbers align with call records, surveillance, and personal testimony, the prosecution's case may be bolstered beyond reasonable doubt. Hull's charts, spreadsheets, and meticulous financial tracking might have been some of the most compelling evidence presented yet. #DonnaAdelsonTrial #MaryHull #ForensicAccounting #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #FloridaTrial #AdelsonFamily #FinancialEvidence #CourtroomDrama #JusticeForDan Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
