This week, Pivot examined the mounting stakes of technological competition and political opportunism as the Trump era unfolds. From China's AI advances and SpaceX's recent setbacks to the reemergence of tariffs and Elon Musk's latest ventures, the hosts traced how innovation, commerce, and political theater are increasingly entangled. The through-line: powerful figures and nations are making high-stakes moves that blur the line between genuine disruption and calculated self-interest.
