It’s no secret that Elon Musk, in addition to being a titan of futuristic industry, is a big ol’ nerd. His favorite animal is a creature from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, he loves to play Blizzard’s smash hit Overwatch, and fittingly, he loves Rick and Morty. He and his kids enjoying the alcohol-fueled misadventures of the Sanchez-Smith family so much so that the billionaire invited the creators to SpaceX after sharing a thread on Twitter.

Dan and I are also breaking down the increasingly interesting showdown between billionaires vying for airspace and space space—Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Sir Richard Branson. Then we buckle up for the first look at Apple’s self-driving car before giving you three decidedly not boring updates on The Boring Company.
