There's a question, though, of whether Fridman avoids alienating Trump's supporters, by pulling his punches on Trump. The podcasting world is tribal, so you'd have to pick an audience, and Fridman is like Joe Rogan in being personally liberal, but professionally obliged to want to give the alt-right a hearing. To continue to have access to the alt-right, you can't be dedicated to destroying them on partisan grounds. So your podcasts would come off as accommodating to Trump. This is the old problem of being captured by your audience.
