Timcast IRL #650 Elon Musk Works With Woke Orgs To Police Hate, But it BACKFIRES w/Lord Miles
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode 650 featured Tim Pool and co-host Ian Crossland discussing Elon Musk's controversial partnership with civil rights organizations to police hate speech on Twitter. The hosts criticized Musk for collaborating with what they called grievance organizations, including one that allegedly produced bots to interfere in elections. Tim expressed frustration that despite Musk's efforts, critics continued to attack him, noting that moderates and independents were particularly upset with the direction of Twitter. The discussion shifted to the White House's deleted tweet celebrating Social Security increases that were actually automatic adjustments due to inflation under Biden. Political projections from Real Clear Politics showing Republicans potentially winning 54 Senate seats were covered, along with Russia's warning about nuclear powers being on the verge of war. Guest Lord Miles, a traveler who visits dangerous locations worldwide, joined the show to discuss his recent findings at the Mexican border in Eagle Pass, Texas, where he discovered hundreds of fake immigrant IDs left behind by migrants attempting to enter the U.S. illegally. Luke Redkowski from We Are Change also appeared wearing a satirical banker t-shirt, discussing wealth inequality and banking practices.
