The Bulwark Podcast - Franklin Foer: Elon, the Man Who Ate NASA
The rise of Elon—and why he is still involved with our government—has everything to do with the dimming of America's one-time crown jewel, NASA. We are now dependent on his rockets and his satellites because Obama and the U.S. government saved SpaceX. Of course, Elon's hypocrisy knows no bounds, because when he had the power, he quickly worked to dismantle the very same government that came to his rescue. The Atlantic's Franklin Foer explains how NASA engineered its own decline, as well as Elon's prophecy about becoming the engineer savior who colonizes Mars. Plus, Zelensky's giant misstep on corruption, and how humanitarian groups need to get back into Gaza to flood it with food.
Frank Foer joins Tim Miller.

Marketplace All-in-One - The hunger crisis unfolding in Gaza
The United Nations this week warned that “widespread starvation, malnutrition and disease” are contributing to a rise in hunger-related deaths across the Gaza Strip. This comes as the flow of aid into Gaza has slowed in recent months and the price of food has increased drastically. On the show today, Reema shares what life looks like for her family there right now. And, we’ll get into the growing international pressure on Israel to lift barriers that organizations have faced in delivering aid.
Here’s everything we talked about today:
- "In Gaza, mounting evidence of famine and widespread starvation" from UN News
- "How Food Supplies in Gaza Have Dwindled Under the New Israeli Aid Plan" from The Wall Street Journal
- "The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation Can Feed Starving Gazans" from The Wall Street Journal
- "What’s Happening in Gaza? FAQ: Hunger and Humanitarian Aid" from World Food Program USA
- "A famine hasn't been declared in Gaza, but that may not matter, experts say" from ABC News
"A conversation with Baba" from “This Is Uncomfortable”
We love hearing from you. Leave us a voicemail at 508-U-B-SMART or email makemesmart@marketplace.org.
