  • Great Podcast.

    I enjoyed this podcast. I only wish it didn't have background music playing the whole time. It's irritating and distracting.

    Sooo good! The bad ratings on this podcast are very suspicious. I hope there will be a season 2. So much has happened since episode 4.

  • Bootlickers will give this a bad review

    Because for someone they are peasant brained they have to defend their fearless leader no matter what. Elon is someone we should all know more about and we should ask questions about how and why he does things. He is the man the behind the curtain. Great reporting as always from Tortoise.
