The SpaceX IPO Gives Elon Musk Even More Power
Sean O’Kane
Notes
SpaceX is finally going public, and it’s bad news for anyone who wants to rein in Elon Musk. Sean O’Kane joins Paris Marx to discuss the flimsy sci-fi ideas Elon Musk is using to justify the company’s massive valuation and the way corporate governance rules are shifting to give him even more power.
Guest
Sean O’Kane is a senior reporter at TechCrunch.
