Elon Meltdown, COVIDSafe App Teardown, Pandemic Drones

This week, Elon Musk walks the fine line between trolling the world and controlling the world with calculated tweets. Will he eventually go full Elon?

Despite the Australian government not releasing the source code, the tech community have already conducted a teardown and reverse engineered the COVIDSafe app. What did they find?

As always we cover all angles using audio clips from different sources so you get everything you need to know, right here on the Naked Tech Podcast.
