Moral of the story: Jesse happily turns into a podcast bro just riffing on serious stories if his guest is someone who works that way. This story *really really* needed Katie or Helen or Julie not whoever this TV comedy writer is (someone British would be great!). This story might need them more than any other story on the podcast ever.

I feel like the correct position here is "Elon shouldn't be tweeting about jailing people, that's an irresponsible thing for him to do, and also this scandal was horrific beyond imagining (both what was done to the girls and the way the government handled it) and it's not a bad thing for more people to know about it."

Is there room for a middle ground there? Because most of the anti-backlash comments I'm seeing here are focusing almost exclusively on Elon's irresponsibility and framing this stor…

I’m gonna take the opposite view here and say it’s (generally) good that Elon is highlighting this *unfathomably evil* scandal, which I don’t believe, based on what I know, has been fully investigated or dealt with.

It’s a bit weird that the takeaway from this segment is “well, the press did technically report on it and people were technically arrested, so the matter is basically settled and Elon shouldn’t endanger people by irresponsibly amplifying it”.
