MoneyNeverSleeps: FTX WTF | Musk Monetizing Twitter | Tech Nation Revolts | Big Tech vs Irish Startups

Eoin Fitzgerald and Pete Townsend take the inevitable plunge into what to make of the FTX mess and then resurface with some of the scenarios unfolding on what Elon Musk has in mind for the 250 million daily active users of Twitter. The guys also look at the hubbub around the control of Tech Nation in the UK, a Digital Dollar pilot in the US, and how the Big Tech layoffs in Ireland may be short-term pain but long-term gain.
