0:15.6 | Hello and welcome back to Equity Tech Crunch's flagship podcast about the business of startups today is Friday July 19th. I'm Marianne |
0:19.6 | Azavito and joining me as Tech Crunch senior reporter and editor Kirsten Korsak. |
0:24.6 | How's it going Kirsten? |
0:26.0 | I'm great. I'm just keeping very busy, let's just say keeping up with |
0:30.9 | Elon and all of his movements right now, |
0:33.4 | including basically his decision to try and move SpaceX |
0:38.1 | and X out of California and into your home state. |
0:41.7 | So more Elon businesses are coming your way, Marian. Not so sure how I feel about that, but yeah, been an interesting week to watch in Elon's world indeed and we'll see if that comes to fruition |

1:25.6 | Alta Texas as opposed to SpaceX X in which there's real hardware, literal rocketry, |
1:32.0 | and design that's going to be happening there. So we'll see. It's probably |
1:35.6 | going to be a hybrid of what he says is my guess. And we'll see if there's any resistance to that. |
1:41.8 | Both are privately held companies. So the protests and |
1:44.8 | opposition that happened and court cases that happened around the Tesla move |
1:48.2 | likely won't happen with SpaceX and X. Yeah, I guess I guess we'll see. We're also joined today by Senior Tech Country |
