Land of the Giants - The Twitter Fantasy

A year ago, in what was essentially the world’s most expensive impulse purchase, Elon Musk bought Twitter. That made him Twitter’s most important user. But he’s certainly not the only one to fall for its spell - a spell that promises attention, connection, and power.

Hosted by Vox senior correspondent Peter Kafka. Episodes drop every Wednesday beginning October 25th.
