In this episode of No Tacos For Tyrants, host Matt Mihaly dives headfirst into the chaotic landscape of politics, power, and billionaires behaving badly. Kicking things off with a reflection on the recent election losses, Matt shares insights from comedian Trae Crowder on the Democratic Party’s identity crisis and the GOP's strategic propaganda machine.
Then, it's time for “Muskwatch,” a new recurring segment that unpacks the latest antics from Elon Musk. Once widely-admired, Musk’s transformation into a self-styled supervillain raises questions about his motives, political sway, and future ambitions. Matt offers a candid look at the tech titan’s influence on everything from electric vehicles to space exploration and, potentially, government restructuring, and how Musk is already personally profiting off the election results.
Finally, Matt rounds things off with a dose of humor as he reviews Trump’s latest Cabinet picks, which aren't funny at all. From dubious defense appointments to a potential “co-Presidency” between Trump and Musk, there’s no shortage of unsettling developments to discuss.
Ending on a positive note, he shares three “good things” to remind us all that not everything in the world is quite so grim.
