7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: Global head of Race Strategy of TV Securities, joins us,

8
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: and I know she doesn't want to talk about power

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: trains on the four f one fifty truck. We want

10
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: to talk to you pre about what your fetter reserve

11
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: is gonna do here. I mean, we had a pretty strong,

12
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: solid payroll number on Friday, but boy, there's a lot

13
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 1: of inflation out there. How do you think your feederal

14
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: reserve is gonna react in the weeks and months going forward.

15
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess one analogy to your power truck

16
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 1: talk before is I think the Fed has to be aggressive.

17
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, policy is very accommodative given the

18
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: economic outclook right now, and so I think they are

19
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: signaling that they want to get to neutral fast. I

20
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: think the big debate in the market is do they

21
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: have to go above neutral? How much above neutral? Can

22
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: the engineer a soft landing, or will they force economy

23
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: into a recession to try and get inflation credibility? But

24
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: the one clear message we're getting is they want to

25
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: normalize at least to whatever neutral is. And you know,

26
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: neutral for the funds rate, I would say is in

27
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: the two and a half percent funds rate. So we

28
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: are expecting the fret to high fifty basis points in

29
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: May June, then continue with twenty until they get to

30
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: that neutral point. We also expect them to start QT

31
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: very soon in in May. You know our part of normalization.

32
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: Our question of the day on the m Live blog

33
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: was where is our star? What is it? What is

34
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: the neutral rate right now? And I guess, first it

35
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: depends if you're talking about real or nominal, But um,

36
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: how do you get to that number? Right And there's

37
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: a lot of research done on this. It tends to

38
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: come to the our star, so the real equilibrium rate

39
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: being somewhere between zero and fifty basis points. But there's

40
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: a very wide range of estimates around this, uh, this

41
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: median estimate. You know, there are those that argued its negative.

42
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to throw another point in here that when

43
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: the FED is letting the balance sheet run off, I

44
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: think our star, even the real number is probably lower

45
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: than it would be if the FED was not letting

46
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: the balance sheet run off. So when we run these

47
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,399
Speaker 1: historical metrics, you know, the balance sheets totally run off

48
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: once before, and I would argue that the FED did

49
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: overdo it last time when they took the funds rate

50
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: to two and a half. So I would say, is

51
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: it closer to zero is what we would call neutral?

52
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: But you know, the FED is humble and we're all

53
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: humble as we're figuring out what neutral is. I think

54
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: that's why the FED might want to maybe speed it

55
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: up in the near term. That's why we've got the

56
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: two back to back fifties, and then slowly get to

57
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: that neutral, because then the economy should show signs that

58
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: we're nearing our star, even if we don't have a

59
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: great sense of what it is. You know, beforehand, we

60
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: should see the consumer start to slow down and corporate

61
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: start to slow down, and that'll be a sign that

62
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: we're getting close to neutral. The fight should start to

63
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: get you know, slow down, then become more cautious. There

64
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: was a great tweet I think it was over the

65
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: weekend by UM Roberto ap Peary, who worked at Piper

66
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: works at Piper Sandler UM. He shows a chart his

67
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: his estimated nominal neutral rate is charted along with the

68
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: FEDS funds rate since nineteen sixty one. And every time

69
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: UM it seems the FED funds rate touches or gets

70
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: beyond the nominal neutral rate, it drives us into a recession.

71
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: Do you expect a recession? So we don't expect a

72
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: recession because we don't expect to fit to go much

73
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: above neutral. So it's, you know, the two we have.

74
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: You should be consistent for those who argue that the

75
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: Fed's going to go to three and a half for

76
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: above three percent on the funds rate, and the market

77
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: is now pricing in three point one as the end

78
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: point of the hiking cycle, I think then it's very

79
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: reasonable that the economy slows down significantly and the Fed

80
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: may have to cut right after that. And that's why

81
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: you look at the yield curve or just just uh,

82
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: you know, forwards pricing in almost three rate cuts, UM,

83
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: you know, after terminal rate has reached, because we have

84
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: the FED slowing down as they approach neutral and not

85
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: going much above neutral. We're sort of expecting that the

86
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: FED will engineer the soft landing and they don't. We

87
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: don't have a recession, they don't need to cut. But

88
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: there are these two possibilities. There is a case where

89
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: inflation forces them to go above neutral, and then I

90
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: think the economy slows down, perhaps goes into recession. I'm

91
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: somewhat sympathetic to the idea that if the unemployment rate

92
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: rises a little bit, hard to prevent that from just

93
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: rising a little bit, and that's when you do, you know,

94
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: the Psalm rule kicks in and you actually go into

95
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: a recession. So that's a reasonable, uh, you know, possible

96
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: outcome right now. All right, Priya, thank you so much

97
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: for joining us. Really appreciate getting your thoughts and perspective

98
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: here as our freder Reserve UH continues on its rate

99
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: hike UH plan. Here Priamra Managing director and Global head

100
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: of Rate Strategy at t D Securities. You know, Matt

101
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: Sin's the beginning of this pandemic thing. We've been leaning

102
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: on this dude name Sam Fizzelli. And who is this guy,

103
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: Sam Fizzelli. He's been on Bloomberg News. He writes stuff.

104
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: He's on TV's on radio. Why Sam Fizzelli, Well, here's

105
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: his day job. He's ahead of the European research, all

106
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: of research for Bloomberg Intelligence in Europe. So he's got

107
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: like fifty seventy five people reporting to him. So he's

108
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: in theory a manager but that's debatable. But his big

109
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: call to famous, he's a Paul likes to dump on managers.

110
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: Just f y I exactly. But his claim to famous,

111
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: he's really really made his chops. He's one of the

112
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: top pharmaceutical medical medical analysts in the city of London

113
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: and occasionally he comes to New York to share his expertise. Yeah,

114
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: he's crazy. He does a wine thing. He's a wine

115
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: o two so we've got that going from. But he's

116
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: actually in the Bloomberg Interactive Broker studio today, Sam, thanks

117
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 1: what for joining us. For me? The pandemics in the

118
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: rear view mirror am a little bit. I've been seeing

119
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: that for months. Yeah, I think that was Paul's wish

120
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: every morning or every evening before going to bed in

121
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: Neil Place bed and did this. But first of one,

122
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: kind of just say how nice it is to be

123
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: here together with you in the flesh, so that already

124
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: and there are a lot of people in the office today,

125
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: and that gives And it's a Monday, right, suppose three

126
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: Mondays and Fridays should be light. But that to a

127
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: degree place to your comment in that I felt comfortable

128
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: enough to get on the plane to come here. I

129
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: looked at case counts here. Okay, they may be going

130
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: up a little bit, but nothing like what we had before.

131
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: I thought, this is my opportunity. Hopefully will never go

132
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: back to what it was before. I don't think the

133
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: virus has quite finished with us, but still we're in

134
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: a period where we are able to manage all this pressure.

135
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: With the vaccines that we've all had and the drugs

136
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: that we've got. We certainly see well, it feels like

137
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: the mutations are less deadly. Um since delta right? Um?

138
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: Is that the case for viruses? Do they mutate in

139
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: less and less deadly forms? Or is it possible that

140
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: what some mutation comes along that is again, um, severe

141
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: in terms of the disease it causes. Yeah, man, I

142
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: think we looked out there a little bit. We've got it.

143
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: We've got a variant that was much more transmissible and

144
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: through that it also changed the way that infected us,

145
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: so we ended up getting upper respiratory tracts, so called infections,

146
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: rather than deep lung, which is where the trouble starts.

147
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: So but I have to say, in an unvaccinated person,

148
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,559
Speaker 1: this is not an easy infection, right. We're just lucky

149
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: that we all have Most of us have been vaccinated

150
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,119
Speaker 1: or prior infected, so there is no rhyme or reason

151
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: the virus. Once it's infected you and infected the next person,

152
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't care what happens to you. I mean, not

153
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: that it's but we are kind of holding to the

154
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: same schedule as the Spanish flu. I know that's a

155
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: misnomer now, and my wife who's from Spain hates it

156
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: when she's like, it's the Kansas flu. We called it

157
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: the Spanish that's hung around for like two years. Right.

158
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: It was deadly at first and then got less and

159
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: less deadly, and now it's the flu that we all

160
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: you'll get. But it's immunity, that's that's the difference. Over

161
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: those two or three years. You build up immunity either

162
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: through an infection, which is not the ideal way, or

163
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: through the vaccines that they give us, which was great.

164
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: So that's what the difference is, and I think we

165
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: have we can't separate the two from each other. Is

166
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: it possible that another variant turns up that's back to

167
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: the high virulence of the previous Delta variant and more transmissible. Yes,

168
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: I mean it's all random as far as the virus

169
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: is concerned. Once you're infected and it's had the opportunity

170
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 1: to jump to the next victim. Whatever, it doesn't care

171
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: what happens to you. You can go and die whatever.

172
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: It makes no difference, right, that's the critical part here

173
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 1: that can happen by accident. Hopefully it won't. Hopefully our

174
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 1: immune system gets us controlled Delta. I mean, if you

175
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: look at everyone says o Acron's less virulent or less problematic,

176
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: look at Delta. The death rate per case for Delta

177
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: was already pretty low. So it's the vaccines. So are

178
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: we back? Are we back to? Are we back down

179
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: to a level that is more like the traditional flu

180
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: in terms of case fatality? Not really, because it all

181
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: depends on which country you look at and what age

182
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: group you look at. That there are age groups where

183
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: the number of deaths are still high and perhaps would

184
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: benefit from a fourth shot, which sure is the next

185
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: thing you gonna ask exactly? I mean they present. Biden

186
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: came out recently said that those over fifty in this country,

187
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: I think I might be a to check my license.

188
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: I might be above fifty. You can get a fourth booster,

189
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: get a fourth shot, another booster? Do I need that?

190
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: I'm I'm getting in line, by the way, when they

191
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: start offering it, I'll be the first in line. You

192
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: can go get it now, dude, can one's checking your

193
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 1: ID at CVS? Okay, you just walk in and get

194
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: a shot. All right, we'll do that. Yeah. No. So,

195
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: so the thing is, do you want to play wackam

196
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: all with this forever? If we talking about preventing severe disease,

197
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: you not getting bad disease below the age of seventy.

198
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: I don't see the data. There's no There seems to

199
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: be no difference if you had a fourth or a

200
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: third shot based on current data. Remember that's been an

201
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: important thing for us to remember every time we talk

202
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: about this. The data evolves because it's you know, we're

203
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: literally building the ship as we're trying to say it.

204
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: Um so below the age of seventy, I haven't seen

205
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: data that convinces me a fourth shot makes a difference

206
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: to severe disease. If you want to have three or

207
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: four months of cover not to catch it, you probably

208
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: could do with that, and you get this boost in

209
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: antibodies that will contract again, so that whack a mole game?

210
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: Or do you want to prevent severe disease? How about

211
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: our friends in China. I don't see that ending while there.

212
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: I mean, they've had such a zero tolerance policy which

213
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: arguably worked for them in terms of the disease. Maybe

214
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: not so much further economy and the global economy, but

215
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: certainly for them and the disease. But Armicrons seems like

216
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't really care about that. What what changed for

217
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: them was Omicron. They did everything right. They had a

218
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: great I mean, they had a fantastic track record in

219
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: terms of a number of people who died compared to

220
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: us or in the UK. But what changed was Omicron.

221
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: I mean, they did everything right in terms of keeping

222
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: people alive. You mean, right, right, right? Oh, no, probably sucked.

223
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: Mental health is a totally different conversation for us to

224
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: have the impact under healthcare in other areas. But now

225
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: Omicron is not playing by the by the right by

226
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: the right room. But fortunately not. I was gonna say

227
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: not as deadly, but you met. You pointed out for

228
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: for vaccinated people, how many people they are vaccinated. So

229
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: the numbers I'm hearing is that only thirty or of

230
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: people that are in the risk group of more aged

231
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: older people are only ever arm right, right, So what

232
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: they need, which is what we argued in a piece

233
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: we wrote with the Economist team, is to get an

234
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: m modern a shot into those arms or something equivalent

235
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: in terms of is that going to happen? You think, well,

236
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: I've just seen news over the weekend that they're starting

237
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: excuse me, two trials with different The modern dy vaccine

238
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: is homegrown. But why do that rather than going somewhere

239
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: where there's an enormous body of data that tells you

240
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: exactly what to expect if you gave them a biolome

241
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: when love to go in there and put jobs in

242
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: a couple of billion people, why not? But also, Biotics

243
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: already got a partner in China. They already filed the

244
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: data in China to my estimation, at least six months

245
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 1: ago plus with corporate espionage, they probably have all the

246
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: data anyway, right they look but at the end of

247
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: the day, go with the vaccine that you know does

248
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: what I tell you. We complain about these big farmer

249
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: companies gouging us on drugs, but boy, they came through

250
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: here in this pandemic. I mean they really did, in

251
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: my opinion. I mean they one year, these guys came

252
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: out with this stuff and they got it into people's arms.

253
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: And hopefully we can do it in some of these

254
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 1: developing countries as well. Sam Fazelli, thanks so much for

255
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: joining us live, Yes live in our Bloomberg Interactor Broker

256
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: studio comes to us live from London, usually on the phone,

257
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 1: but we got him here in New York. I guess

258
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: I gotta buy him dinner tonight. He's had a European

259
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: research for Bloomberg Intelligence, big time farmer analysts over there

260
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: in the city London. He's a real hot shot, but

261
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: we got him in our studios. I think Elon Musk

262
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: has some restrictions on actually being on Twitter tweeting, but

263
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: doesn't stop him from buying Twitter. I have to admit

264
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: it doesn't stop him from tweeting either. Yeah, he didn't

265
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: care about silly sec but I'll say I did not

266
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: see this news. This morning him taking a steak in Twitter.

267
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: Maybe somebody smarter than us did see this, Hey, Dan

268
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: dan Ives, Managing Director Senior Equity Alice at web Bush Securities,

269
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 1: and a proud Penn stater or joins us day before

270
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: we get to that. Actually, Dan, I was thinking about

271
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: you this weekend. I went back to my mom's garage

272
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: and Graham Bell, Ohio to pick up an older classic

273
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: Duccatti Monster S four R S sure, and I drove

274
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: it back here to New York as I was, I don't.

275
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: I thought it would be fun, and it actually wasn't.

276
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: But it was one thing that was cool was I

277
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 1: did stop in State College in Happy Valley and I

278
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: thought about Dan dan Ives. Uh, Dan, what do you

279
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: make of this? What's Elon doing here? Look? I think

280
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: this is really the start of what's going to be

281
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: a shake up at Twitter. I mean, Musk doesn't just

282
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: do a passive nine percent stake for fun, So I

283
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: think this is ultimately the start of a broader role

284
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: at Twitter. And you know, this is really ultimately Musk

285
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: expanding the ecosystem. That's why the streets reading this as

286
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: basically this is the start of something much bigger that

287
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: Musk is leading. But so we were taking passive as

288
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: meaning he won't take a board seat or you know,

289
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: tell um the C suite what to do. But does

290
00:14:54,840 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: passive means something else? Yeah? I mean, look, there's a

291
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: better chance to meet playing Augusta this weekend in must keeping,

292
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: but then must keeping just a passive steak. I mean,

293
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: this is going to go active above the ten percent.

294
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: It's a matter of their conversations with the board and

295
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: do they ultimately play ball. But I think that's really

296
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: the view. Is that especially Twitter, which has been the

297
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: right lane, I mean where others have passed him in

298
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: the left lane the social media from a monization perspective,

299
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: it's been disappointing. And of course Musk is is there's

300
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: not no secret in terms of his criticism of Twitter.

301
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: So it's a look, if if the bank has your house,

302
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: then you can just buy the bank. And I think

303
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: he's going down that path. We got to see which

304
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: direction it goes. But obviously for Twitter it's bullish because

305
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: clearly that he's going to shake things up. Dan, what

306
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: do you think he could do here or should do here?

307
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: What I think he could do is at least board

308
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: seats get more active, a new suite of directors and

309
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: then ultimately will to either change some of the policies,

310
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: you know, by being on the board, and then eventually,

311
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: depending on how it all shakes out, I mean, this

312
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: could ultimately lead to a sale. You know, obviously private

313
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: A quickly get involved. And I think that's that's the

314
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: view here, is that this soap opera, this is just

315
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: a start of what's going to happen with Musk and Twitter.

316
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: And because as we all know, I mean, Musk is

317
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: not someone that just puts one tone the water, right,

318
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna be a lot more aggressive,

319
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: you know, I think in the coming months and year,

320
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: especially as it comes to Twitter. What does he want

321
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: to change a Twitter? What has he been unhappy about? Well, clearly,

322
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: I mean that there's a lot of criticism that that

323
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: he's talked about in terms of freedom of speech and

324
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: others on Twitter. I think it's led to you know,

325
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: his view that he was really gonna try to create

326
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: his own social media platform, which is we all know

327
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 1: that's extremely difficult. And obviously you know, he looked at

328
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: and his advisers looked to the situation, but doors he'd

329
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: go into the background, you know, with a lot of

330
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: sort of passive steaks in Twitter, I think there was

331
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: an opportunity and he recognized it was now or never

332
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: to to really go after Twitter. And I think this

333
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: is the start, right in terms of a passive ownership stake,

334
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: which likely goes to active and now it's a matter

335
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: of what the next step is. Danny, you followed Elon

336
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: Muskin and Ted Tesla and his career for a long time.

337
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 1: What do you think is this from a portfolio perspective,

338
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: his personal portfolio of assets. You know, some people are

339
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: suggesting this is the beginning of him trying to diversify

340
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: a little bit. You expect him to be spreading more

341
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: of his wealth out into other companies, other industries. How

342
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: do you think about that? Yeah, And remember he's not

343
00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: an activist like in the sense like an icon or others.

344
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: He doesn't view it like that. Just getting into his mind, right,

345
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: I mean, the way must us this is that just

346
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: like he did on EVS, just like he did with Space,

347
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: He's like he looks at social media like something's wrong here.

348
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: From his viewpoint, this needs to be changed, and I'm

349
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: going to change it. And I'm the rich personal world

350
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: and I'm going to start that, and I think that's

351
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: that's what he's really going down with Twitter. Now. The

352
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: conversation is like, what's the next step. Can you change

353
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: monization of the platform, algorithms advertising? Right? These are all

354
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: things from an investor perspective, it's not just the whole

355
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: you know, chronic Freemer's speech issue. So I think that's

356
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 1: really going to be the focus going forward to what

357
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 1: the next steps are. But you know, this is one

358
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: where I think for Twitter from an investor perspective, they

359
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: obviously welcome this because there's very few that could rock

360
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: the boat like this, and Musk is obviously one interesting stuff.

361
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: I don't know what. I just don't know what this

362
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: guy's gonna do with this thing. It's it's it's really

363
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 1: amazing and uh I didn't see this coming at all.

364
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 1: But anyway, exciting though, right, good stuff. Yeah, it's great

365
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: for Monday. Hey, Dan, thanks so much for joining us.

366
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: You always appreciate getting your perspective. Dan ives he's a

367
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: managing director, he's a senior equity analyst, covers all this

368
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: tech stuff, all the Internet. I think Elon Musk has

369
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: some restrictions on actually being on Twitter tweeting, but doesn't

370
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: stop him from buying Twitter. I have to admit it

371
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,239
Speaker 1: doesn't stop him from tweeting either. Yeah, he didn't care

372
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: about silly sec But I'll say I did not see

373
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: this news this morning, him taking a steak in Twitter.

374
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: Maybe somebody smarter than us did see this. Hey, Dan

375
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: dan Ives, managing director of Senior Equity anlyse At web

376
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: Bush Securities, and a proud Penn State or joins us

377
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: day before we get to that. Actually, Dan, I was

378
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: thinking about you this weekend. I went back to my

379
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: mom's garage and Graham Bell, Ohio to pick up an

380
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: older classic Duccatti Monster S four r S and I

381
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: drove it back here to New York as I was

382
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: I don't I thought it would be fun, and it

383
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: actually wasn't. But it was one thing that was cool

384
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: was I did stop in State College in Happy Valley

385
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: and I thought about Dan dan Ives? Uh, Dan, what

386
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 1: do you make of this? What's Elon doing here? Look?

387
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: I think this is really the start of what's going

388
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: to be a shake up at Twitter. I mean, Musk

389
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: doesn't just do a passive nine percent stake for fun,

390
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: So I think this is ultimately the start of a

391
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: broader role at Twitter. And you know this is really

392
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 1: ultimately Musk expanding the equosystem. That's why the streets reading

393
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: this as basically, this is the start of something much

394
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: bigger that Musk is leading. But so we were taking

395
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: passive as meaning he won't take a board seat or

396
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: you know, tell um the c suite what to do.

397
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: But does passive means something else? Yeah? I mean, look,

398
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: there's a better chance to meet playing in Augusta this

399
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 1: weekend and must keeping, but then must keeping just a

400
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: passive steak. I mean, this is going to go active

401
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: above the ten percent. It's a matter of their conversations

402
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: with the board and do they ultimately play ball. But

403
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: I think that's really the view. Is that especially Twitter,

404
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: which has been the right lane, I mean where others

405
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: have passed him in the left lane? There's social media

406
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: from a monization perspective, it's been disappointing, and of course

407
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: Musk is is you know, there's not no secret in

408
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 1: terms of his criticism of Twitter. So it's a look,

409
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,239
Speaker 1: if if the bank has your house, then you can

410
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: just buy the bank. And I think he's going down

411
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: that path. We got to see which direction it goes.

412
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: But obviously for Twitter it's bullish because clearly that he's

413
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: going to shake things up, Dan, what do you think

414
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: he could do here or should do here? Where I

415
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: think he could do is at least board seats, get

416
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: more active, a new suite of directors, and then ultimately

417
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 1: will to either change some of the policies, you know,

418
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: by being on the board, and then eventually depending on

419
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,959
Speaker 1: how it all shakes out, I mean, this could ultimately

420
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: lead to a sale. You know, obviously private acquickly get involved.

421
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: And I think that's that's the view here, is that

422
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: this soap opera, this is just a start of what's

423
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: going to happen with Musk and Twitter. And because as

424
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: we all know, I mean, Musk is not someone that

425
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: just puts one tone in the water, right and I

426
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be a lot more aggressive, you know,

427
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: I think in the coming months and year, especially as

428
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: it comes Twitter. What does he want to change a Twitter?

429
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: What has he been unhappy about? Well, clearly, I mean

430
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 1: that there's a lot of criticism that that he's talked

431
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: about in terms of freedom of speech and others on Twitter.

432
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 1: I think it's led to you know, his view that

433
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: he was really gonna try to create his own social

434
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: media platform, which is we all know that's extremely difficult.

435
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: And obviously, you know, he looked at and his advisers

436
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: look to the situation, but doors he'd go into the background,

437
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: you know, with a lot of sort of passive steaks

438
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 1: in Twitter. I think there was an opportunity and he

439
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 1: recognized it was now or never to to really go

440
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: after Twitter. And I think this is the start, right

441
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 1: in terms of a passive ownership stake, which likely goes

442
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: to active and now it's a matter of what the

443
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: next step is. Danny, you followed Elon Muskin and Ted

444
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: Tesla and his career for a long time. Do what

445
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: do you think? Is this that from a portfolio perspective,

446
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: his personal portfolio of assets. You know, some people are

447
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 1: suggesting this is the beginning of him trying to diversify

448
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: a little bit. You expect him to be spreading more

449
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 1: of his wealth out into other companies, other industries. How

450
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: do you think about that? Yeah, and remember he's not

451
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,959
Speaker 1: an activist, like in the sense like an icon or others.

452
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: He doesn't view it like that. Just getting into his mind, right,

455
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: He's like, he looks at social media like something's wrong here.

456
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: From his viewpoint, this needs to be changed, and I'm

457
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: going to change it. And I'm the rich personal world

458
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: and I'm going to start that. And I think that's

459
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,399

00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: conversation is like, what's the next step. Can you change

00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: monization of the platform, algorithms advertising? Right? These are all

462
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: things from an investor perspective, it's not just the whole

463
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: you know, chron quote Freemer's speech issue. So I think

464
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: that's really going to be the focus going forward to

465
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 1: what the next steps are. But you know, this is

466
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: one where I think for Twitter from an investor perspective,

467
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: they obviously welcome this because there's very few that could

468
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: rock the boat like this, and Musk is obviously one

469
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: interesting stuff. I don't know what. I just don't know

470
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: what this guy is gonna do with this thing. It's

471
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: it's it's really amazing and uh, I didn't see this

478
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,720
