KEY POINTS
- Elon Musk recommended the history podcast "Revolutions" by Mike Duncan
- The program covers a modern political revolution per season
- Musk encouraged his Twitter followers to listen to the show's 10th season
Elon Musk is a fan of the history podcast "Revolutions."
Days after it concluded its latest season, the Tesla CEO wrote on Twitter Wednesday that he "highly recommend[s]" the podcast, which is hosted by history podcaster and author Mike Duncan and covers a modern political revolution per season.
It started in September 2013 with the English Revolution of 1688, and since then, it has covered the American, French and Haitian revolutions, among others.
In his tweet, Musk encouraged his followers to listen to the podcast's 10th season.
Part 1 of Season 10, which has 103 episodes in total, focused on the Russian Revolution of 1905. Also known as the First Russian Revolution, the event resulted in the Russian government's transformation from an autocracy to a constitutional monarchy.
The second half of "Revolutions" Season 10 covered the Russian Revolution of 1917, which abolished the monarchy and led to the creation of the Soviet Union.
The final episode for the season was uploaded to the "Revolutions" website Sunday. It was made available the next day on both Apple Podcasts and Spotify, where the other episodes can also be accessed.
Duncan tweeted Monday that he was greeted with "a bunch of the nicest comments in the world" following the Season 10 finale's release.
Prior to recommending "Revolutions," Musk said in an interview with computer scientist and podcast host Lex Fridman that the podcast "Hardcore History" by former radio host Dan Carlin was "the greatest podcast ever."
The billionaire also revealed last year that he listened to the "History of English" podcast.
Musk's recommendation of "Revolutions" came as Insider reported that he quietly had twins in November 2021 with Shivon Zilis, the director of operations and special projects at his Neuralink startup.
The children were born weeks before Musk and his now-ex-girlfriend Grimes welcomed their second child, a daughter named Exa Dark Sideræl, via surrogate in December last year. They also share 2-year-old son X Æ A-Xii.
A court document filed by Musk and Zilis in April petitioned for their children to "have their father's last name and contain their mother's last name as part of their middle name."
The order was approved by a judge in Austin, Texas, in May.
Musk and Zilis did not respond to Insider's requests for comment.
The SpaceX CEO now has 10 children, including five with ex-wife Justine Wilson: Griffin, Vivian Jenna, Kai, Saxon and Damian.
