How TikTok has proliferated a new style of language
The art of making money through misinformation on X
Donald Trump’s renewed strategy to take over the White House
Episode Highlights:
“It seems like language is definitely evolving faster than ever before. The original Internet language was kind of known by all, but now the problem is that there's a lot of people being left behind.” - 6:45 - Jason Kapadia
“In the US, there are X Premium subscribers who are saying they're making $1,000s because their content is being engaged with, and there's an issue with it, because there's nothing to say what that content needs to be.” - 13:55 - Jen Campbell
“Maybe the chap working 16 hours a day to post on Twitter/X is earning more than ever, but if you really need the money, you might bend morals for monetary gain.” - 19:20 - Jag Sharma
“Elon has too much skin in the game with the government and his own businesses to be supporting Trump in the way he is.” - 30:00 - Jen Campbell
