This week Amanda Silberling and I went live on LinkedIn and Twitter Spaces to talk about Elon Musk’s questionable plans for blue checks on Twitter. Then, I talk with Natasha Mascarenhas about a new startup, Rewind, that wants to help humans have perfect memory. And as always, we break down the biggest stories in tech.

Articles from the episode:

  • Elon Musk’s plan to charge for Twitter verification will be a misinformation nightmare
  • Elon Musk’s Twitter already looks grim for the LGBTQ community
  • Rewind wants to revamp how you remember, with millions from a16z

Other news from the week:

  • Watch SpaceX launch a Falcon Heavy for the first time in three years
  • Amazon Prime now comes with a full music catalog of 100 million songs and ad-free podcasts
  • Google puts an end to Google Hangouts once and for all
