The Elon Effect

The Elon Effect

2024-09-0555:556

Elon Musk is officially beefing with the Brazilian government and of course Trevor, Christiana, and Josh have lots to say about it.

Trevor, Christiana, and noted writer and journalist Anne Helen Petersen discuss the growing #tradwife trend, the ideological conviction that a woman’s sole and highest purpose is to be her spouse’s modest, subservient helpmate, and that anything less is ungodly.

Are cleaning, cooking, and total submission truly the path to godliness, or have we fallen so far off the societal cliff that women are simply exhausted? Learn more about your ad choices.

Trevor and Christiana are joined by Jody Avirgan, one of What Now?’s Executive Producers. In the wake of the July 13th assassination attempt on Donald Trump, they discuss people’s fascination with how the event “moves the plot forward,” the impact of the media’s need to feed the 24-hour news cycle with “developing story” updates (both accurate and inaccurate), and whether the greater issue at stake is actually America’s self-image and a failure to learn from historic moments.

I'm here for both Trevor and Christian's plans, personally. I think the travel/volunteer project idea would get people out of their bubble, and decoupling politeness with jobs would help people have better emotional resilience.
