"Elon To Rishi: From Bad To Worse"

In this episode the two Matt's are joined by the Pulitzer Prize winning, investigative journalist, James Ball. The trio wind their way through the past, present and future of X (formerly known as Twitter) and how Elon Musk's changes have led to "blue tick misinformation" spreading false info on both the Ukraine/Russia and Israell/Gaza conflicts. Could this be the beginning of the end of 'X' or will it be flogged off by Musk for someone else to resurrect?

Also in this episode, another algorithmically powered machine has an uncertain future, this time in the form of Rishi Sunak. The Two Matt's ponder if enough advantages are being taken for Rishi's failings.
