Tesla’s robotaxis just hit the streets — but you’ll never guess who got invited to the launch (spoiler: not journalists). In today’s episode, Nick and Michelle break down why Elon Musk’s superfans are suddenly the media, what the Supreme Court’s age verification ruling means for your privacy, and how Spotify’s finally giving you control of Discover Weekly.
Plus: Meta wants a peek into your private camera roll (yeah, that one), and Trump strong-arms Canada into ditching a tax on U.S. tech giants.
All five stories. All under 10 minutes. All explained in plain English.
