In entertainment news this week we recap the Oscars. Steve and Sean got many predictions correct but there were plenty of big surprises too. Steve also discusses why he is not a fan of Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey. In our tech news we discuss Elon musk tweeting out to delete Facebook and how he is recruiting drop-outs to work for him at Tesla. Tesla also hits the news this week when they deleted upgrades to a car after it was sold to a new owner. In space talk, SpaceX is considering separating Starlink and making Starlink a publicly traded company. There was a super massive galaxy that just went dark and Voyager 2 comes back online after some technical difficulties.
