About

Michael Lewis, author of Liar's Poker and The Big Short, talks about his new book Blockers, which tells the story of Elon Musk's DOGE and its mission to dismantle the American government in early 2025. The book focuses on the civil servants — dubbed 'Blockers' by Musk — who fought back, from those protecting tax data to one who helped deliver a cystic fibrosis cure.
