Why is Elon Musk at war with Australia?
Episode description
Australia’s PM is at war with Elon Musk - calling him an ‘arrogant billionaire’ - and worse.
He’s fighting to get violent images of a church stabbing in Sydney banned from Twitter/X. Elon Musk says it's censorship and an infringement on free speech. So who is going to win out here - regulation or tech money?
Later, as more immigrants die in the Channel, we ask if Rwanda can act as a deterrent. And - on St. George’s day - what does patriotism mean to you - red and white cuff links? Cups of tea? Or mumbled embarrassment?
