Rotating Topic of the week: Alec's on the spot question for Samir

 

• Alec's question: Imagine that you have as much capital as Elon Musk... what music company (any type) would you buy? And what would you do/change about them?​

​

Note: The rotating topic segment is new to this season of the show! Every week there will be a different topic. Topics rotate between a history lesson, live event or culture stories, a blind question for Alec or Samir, or Anti-Plur.
