In Equity, we unpack the numbers behind the headlines, where we discuss the business of startups.

We focus on a single topic, think about a question, and unpack the rest of the show. Alex andAmanda talked about the larger Musk-Twitter saga because of a family matter.

When the news broke on Tuesday, the crew at TechCrunch got together for a long, fun, and relaxed time in the space. We decided to focus ourselves on the core elements of the team chat and make something a bit tighter.

Our question set is here.

  • How much of an active participant will Elon really be?
  • What does the deal mean for Twitter employees?
  • What impact will the sale have on security, and algorithmic transparency?
  • The free speech question
  • What does the transaction mean for users?

Our larger tick-tock can be read here if you need more, as well as our coverage of locked code changes. We will be live on Thursday for the show. Then, chat!

Equity goes down on Mondays at 7 a.m. On Wednesday and Friday at 6 a.m. You can subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, and all the casts.
