Was Henry Kissinger a force for good and has Elon Musk finally gone too far?

What should lead the news? Three people pitch the story they think matters most to Tortoise editor-in-chief James Harding.

In this episode he’s joined by economist Linda Yueh, news editor Jess Winch and climate editor Jeevan Vasagar. They discuss Henry Kissinger’s record, Elon Musk telling advertisers on X/Twitter to “go f***” themselves, and the UN’s climate summit in Dubai.
