Elon Musk: agent of chaos | The Vergecast On today's episode, once again, it's OpenAI and DOGE. And some other things! Nilay and David start the show by talking about Elon Musk's surprise bid to buy the nonprofit arm of OpenAI, along with the company's plans for new models and new rules for those models. After that, The Verge's Lauren Feiner joins to catch us up on what's happening with DOGE, how Musk and co. are making boring government information into something deeply fascinating and deeply confusing, and what it's like to work for the government now. Finally, in the lightning round, we talk about rumors of a new Apple Studio Display and iPhone SE, the new Powerbeats 2 Pro, Brendan Carr still being a dummy, and some surprising streaming moves from Apple and YouTube. 0:00 Intro 3:19 Elon Musk's bid to buy OpenAI’s nonprofit arm 41:30 What's happening with DOGE? 1:15:26 Lightning round Subscribe: Like The Verge on Facebook: Follow on Twitter: Follow on Instagram: Follow on TikTok: Watch The Vergecast on YouTube: The Vergecast Podcast: Decoder with Nilay Patel: More about our podcasts: Read More: Community guidelines: Wallpapers from The Verge: Subscribe to The Vergecast on YouTube, new episodes on Tuesday and Friday: If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may receive a commission without exerting any influence on editorial content.
