🧾 EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of All-In Podcast, featuring Jason Calacanis and David Friedberg, Dueling Presidential interviews, SpaceX’s big catch, Robotaxis, Uber buying Expedia?, Nuclear NIMBY explores election Odds, Elon's Triumphs, Uber’s Ambitions, and Nuclear Power Showdown The episode ranges from 2024 election odds and media bias to major breakthroughs at Tesla and SpaceX, Uber’s rumored bid for Expedia, and a bruising debate over nuclear power and SMRs. The besties contrast polls with prediction markets and dissect Trump and Harris’s recent interviews, arguing most voters are already locked in. They then celebrate SpaceX’s Starship booster catch and Tesla’s robotaxi/bus concepts, exploring the economics of ultra‑cheap access to space and Starlink’s upside. The conversation shifts to whether Uber buying Expedia makes any strategic sense in an AI/agentic future, before devolving into a heated, highly specific fight over nuclear safety, NIMBYism, and whether SMRs will ever actually get built in the US. The show closes on “lawfare” against Elon in California and speculation about election night and the future of the pod.
