On this week’s edition of our live video show Nir & Rupar, The Downballot’s David Nir and Public Notice’s Aaron Rupar are joined by pioneering Substacker Judd Legum, the creator of Popular Information, to discuss all things Elon Musk.
Earlier this year, Judd launched a new site called Musk Watch, devoted to uncovering the truth about the world’s richest man—and the most influential person in American politics today.
Judd explains:
How he gathers rock-solid documentary evidence about Musk’s assault on the federal government.
Why Musk’s claims of billions of dollars in spending are not only inflated but not even “cuts” at all.
Why, even if Musk steps back from his current role, the apparatus he’s created at DOGE will likely keep plugging away.
And much more. David and Aaron also took questions from those who participated live.
