Peter Carter, Lyn Adamson, and Brian von Herzen agree that the most effective way of addressing global warming might be to cut the $3 trillon annual expenditures on subsidies to fossil fuel industry. Since Elon Musk has promised to end all subsidies, let's challenge him to eliminate the ones to fossil fuels. The challenge is in finding a way to present such a demand with organized impact instead of separately and being ignored.

Since Elon Musk's appointment to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under President Donald Trump in January 2025, Tesla has faced significant backlash. This stems from Musk's involvement in aggressive federal spending cuts, resulting in widespread job losses and public dissent. The "Tesla Takedown" movement emerged in early 2025, organizing protests at Tesla stores across the United States. Activists have called for the public to divest from Tesla by selling their vehicles and shares, aiming to economically impact Musk and challenge his political influence.These protests have escalated into acts of vandalism and violence. Tesla dealerships, charging stations, and vehicles have been targeted in arson attacks, shootings, and other forms of property damage. For instance, a Tesla store in Loveland, Colorado, experienced multiple incidents of vandalism, and in Salem, Oregon, Molotov cocktails were thrown at a Tesla store, causing significant damage.With Dan Bongino now joining the Trump administration, we have a unique opportunity to expand this program and potentially step into some of the radio slots he's leaving behind.

Since Elon Musk acquired social network Twitter in October 2022, the company has been pretty much constantly in the spotlight, and not really for the right reasons. It started very shortly after, with controversy erupting when the new owner fired 80% of the company's workforce, including CEO Parag Agrawal. Of course, the change of name from Twitter to X.com then followed in summer 2023. There's been a great deal of disillusionment among long-time Twitter users, many of whom have now chosen to leave the platform completely. Just last week, The Guardian announced it would no longer post on X, and many other famous figures have also opted to do the same, like Stephen King and Jamie Lee Curtis. What gripes exactly do people have with Elon Musk and X? How widely used is Bluesky for now? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

In the wake of our decision at ODI to suspend all activity on X (formerly Twitter), this episode examines the polarisation and hate so prevalent in today's social media landscape and what is driving it.Since Elon Musk took ownership of X two years ago there has been a rise of hate speech, mis- and disinformation on the platform. The UK riots, which we dissected in a recent episode, are a case in point. This worrying trend – alongside the commercialisation of its validation functions – led many politicians and organisations to stop using X.But are we just putting plasters on a much deeper issue? To what extent has this divide in society already existed?This episode examines these questions, and asks what action is needed to build safer, fairer digital societies. Guests explore the potential of social media to tackle subconscious biases, and take a stand against misinformation and online hate.We hear about the role policy-makers should play in tackling fake news and misinformation as well as social media platforms themselves, and what role AI could play in influencing these dynamics.GuestsSara Pantuliano (host), Chief Executive, ODINanjala Nyabola, Kenyan author, political analyst and and activistSandra Pepera, Chief Strategy and Governance Officer, ODIRelated resourcesODI suspends activity on X (Statement, ODI)Riots, race and misinformation – has alarmist rhetoric on migration gone too far?

"Who wants to advertise on Twitter with a maverick owner?," said Gideon Spanier, Campaign's UK editor in chief in this episode.Since Elon Musk took over Twitter, renamed X, journalists have been busy keeping up with the contention surrounding the platform – from cutting staff by 80% to blaspheming advertisers for withholding adspend; filing an antitrust lawsuit against GARM causing the body to close, and posting on X saying “civil war is inevitable” in the UK after the riots that took place this August.After all the controversy, many of X's largest advertisers – including Apple, Warner Bros., Discovery, Sony and Disney – have left the platform. So, in a new, revamped version of the Campaign Podcast, the editorial team ask: What do brands lose by not having X on their plan?This episode welcomes Spanier to the studio with Maisie McCabe, Campaign's UK editor, and Shauna Lewis, deputy media editor.

To introduce this week's topic, I'd like to read you all a quote I think sums up where we're headed in this episode: “Since Elon Musk took over Twitter, it's been nothing but a volatile rollercoaster of decline and implosion—and it hasn't even been a month.” (Lucas Ropek, Gizmodo) Honestly, with all the stress and tension of the midterms and economy talk… we're overdue for some comic relief. So we're going to take a moment to revel in the deconstruction of the Twitterverse at the hands of Mr. Musk.

Since Elon Musk just bought Twitter, what would you buy if you had his kind of money.
A few days ago, I mentioned that it is my belief that Elon Musk's appearance on SNL would lead to a spike in the price of Dogecoin. Well, it turns out that we might be onto something. Since Elon Musk announced that he is going to appear on SNL and Musk's name has been in the press, talk of Dogecoin has spiked, leading to a rise in the market value.
