Good morning, this is Bloomberg Day Break. We 227 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: want to get to the latest on Twitter. Now. The 228 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: saga continues with the new loan or elon Musk potentially 229 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: in line to have the massive pile of debt he 230 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: took on to buy the company restructured with new margin 231 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 1: loans backed by stock from one of his other companies, Tesla. 232 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: Let's bring in Bloomberg Quick Take correspondent Alex Webb for 233 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: more on this news. Alex, good morning. How would this 234 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 1: restructuring work exactly? Yes, So, as you say, he has 235 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: pretty high interest payments right now on on the debt 236 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: that was raised to pay for Twitter. In fact, Bloomberg 237 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,839 Speaker 1: has reported that the interest costs are about one point 238 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: two billion dollars a year. That's considerably more than could 239 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: has ever managed to post in free cash flow. Um. So, 240 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: what this seems to be doing is that he would 241 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: then take a margin loan backed by his Tesla stock, 242 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: which would then presumably be at a far um more 243 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: amenable interest rate UM and be able to then pay 244 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: down some of those those other um uh, some of 245 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: the there's other loans that he has taken UM in 246 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: order from the deal. Oh say, so what could the 247 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: potential impact v on Tesla's stock given that, as far 248 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,719 Speaker 1: as I understand it, these margin loans are going to 249 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 1: be backed by shares of Tesla. I'm looking at the 250 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: stock in the pre market this morning, it's moving a 251 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: little bit lower. Does this put Tesla under even more pressure? 252 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: It's hard to see how it doesn't put down Tessa 253 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: under a little bit of pressure. Of course, you know, 254 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,359 Speaker 1: this is still going to be a very small proportion 255 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: of the total um float of Tesla ches um. The 256 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: unit stock has come down quite a lot since Elon 257 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: got involved with Twitter, and it does mean that there 258 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: will be a certain amount of volatility tied to Twitter's performance. 259 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: You know, Twitter fails to um improve its financial performance, 260 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: then there's an implication that some of the Tesla stock 261 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: may go away from you know, you know, might have 262 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: to sacrifice some of that tess stop extreme eventuality. But 263 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: it's a possibility. Yeah, And how are we structuring like 264 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: this effect the risks that the banks themselves have taken on. 265 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: From what I understand, they put a lot of their 266 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: own cash into the original deal for Elon Musk to 267 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: buy Twitter. Well, well, that is unclear because we don't 268 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: know exactly which part of the um the debt would 269 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: be repaid. Blooms reported is po likely to be the 270 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: unsecured debt um which from which Twitter pay is an 271 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: interest rate of about eleven point seven five percent, But 272 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: there are still other parts that, um, you know, the 273 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: banks haven't been able to re sell given the the 274 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: tightening conditions in in the debt market or the more 275 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: difficult conditions in the debt market. So it may be 276 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: that this is really about Elon Robin the banks themselves. Well, 277 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: what does this say? What what are the implications for 278 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: Elon Musk's own solvency here when he's thinking about taking 279 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: margin loans like this? What what does it potentially tell 280 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: us about Elon musks on financial security. Well, I mean 281 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: it's clearly some slightly imaginative, Um, it's in a matching 282 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: way for him to generate funding. He yes, he's the 283 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: richest man in the world. His wealth has still come 284 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: down from um, you know, the order of two hundred 285 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: and eighty billion UM a year ago to only in 286 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: inverted commas a hundred and seventy one billion today. This 287 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: remains a small slice of his net worth, but of 288 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: course he doesn't have that many liquid assets. Most of 289 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: that network is tied up in his test stock is 290 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: SpaceX stock UM and of course now Twitter itself, So 291 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: he doesn't have the liquidity that the big tick sticker 292 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: number would imply, and that's why he has to resort 293 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: somebody slightly more imaginative financing options. Of course, a lot 294 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: of what we've seen in terms of trying to get 295 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: Twitter back on a firmer financial footing is to do 296 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: huge rounds of layoffs and lots of cost thing. Since 297 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: Elon Musk has taken over, does that change things in 298 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: terms of how a restructuring of the debt could be 299 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: handled here, Yes, because if it means that the debt 300 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: repayments UM are reduced, then the need to find capital 301 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: quickly and find cash flow quickly is diminished. You know, 302 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a catch twenty two situation 303 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: here where if he cuts jobs too quickly then uh, 304 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: it poses risks to income because you've seen a lot 305 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: of advertisers back away from Twitter, at least on a 306 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: temporary basis. So you know, Twitter was expected before this 307 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: deal was completed to have um negative free cash flow 308 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: of about twenty three million dollars this year. That would 309 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: have been increasing to an order of two hundred million 310 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: dollars next year. That's a long way short of the 311 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: one point two billion a year that he needs to find. 312 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: He is having now come in and cleared the deck 313 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: at the phase where he has to work out now 314 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: how to make more money, and that you know, he's 315 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: likely to require adding head count, certainly in some positions, 316 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,959 Speaker 1: not least in engineering roles. So giving a little bit 317 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: of financial flexibility might enable him to do that. All right, 318 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 1: Alex Webb as always good to talk with you as 319 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 1: the Twitter Elon Musk saga continues.

Let's talk about the next 370 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 1: Congress and what you anticipate. Now you're gonna be in 371 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: the majority position here, uh so you're gonna have more 372 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: say over what happens. What do you want to get accomplished? 373 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: You and your Committee Financial Service commedite. What do you 374 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: want to get a complish in the next and the 375 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: next Congress? This upcoming congress, we set the agenda in 376 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: House Financial Services Committee. We have some key goals we 377 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 1: want to pursue. First, we'd like to have a bipartisan 378 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:36,919 Speaker 1: oversight and regulatory measure for digital assets. We'd like to 379 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 1: take the collapse of f t X and do something 380 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: positive with that by having a consensus on both sides 381 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: of the hill on the right kind of regulatory proposal 382 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,239 Speaker 1: for the digital assets and one that will preserve that 383 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: business here in the United States and preserve the ability 384 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 1: to innovate on blockchain. We think that's key. Next, we'd 385 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: love to find a solution on a permanent reauthorization of 386 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: the flood insurance program. We're on seventeen eighteen continuing resolutions there. 387 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: I'd like to see a permanent reauthorization of our national 388 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 1: flood program. It's important to our communities, homeowners, resilient communities, 389 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: so that's a key feature. And look, we want to 390 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: make sure our regulatory agencies like the SEC, the bank regulators, 391 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: don't block capital formation. So you'll see US approve policy 392 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 1: ideas and legislative ideas that enhance capital formation. So let's 393 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: pick up a couple of as we could. Let's start 394 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 1: with FTX in the crypto situation. As I understand it, 395 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: before you get to the new Congress, you're plan on 396 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: having some hearings in the current Congress. In the Lame 397 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: Ducks edition, do we know whether Sam bankman Fried is 398 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 1: gonna show up or not as he told you? And 399 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 1: if he doesn't, will you compel him? Well, he tweeted 400 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: that he wasn't going to appear, and I think Patrick McKendry, 401 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 1: the ranking Republican, and Maxine Waters, the chair of the committee, 402 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: they want him here personally. If he's got time to 403 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,400 Speaker 1: interview a deal with Andrew Ross Sorkin and make all 404 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: these Twitter appearances, he can appear before our committee. I 405 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: would certainly encourage Patrick mckenry and Share Waters to work 406 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 1: together to compel him to appear. We want answers to 407 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,439 Speaker 1: what happened at ft X. Do you have a sense, 408 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 1: Congressman going past ft X Once you figure out what happened, 409 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: what sorts of regulation may be appropriate from Congress or 410 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,199 Speaker 1: doesn't have to come from the regulators. Well, I know. 411 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,679 Speaker 1: Reggie Torrez, a member of Congress from New York, wrote 412 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: Chairman Ginsler, blaming the f t X collective collapse on him, 413 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: that he has all the power to have properly handled 414 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: this and he didn't exercise it. So there is concerned 415 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: about what authorities the regulators have and what authorities they 416 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 1: don't have. I think we ought to have a legislative 417 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 1: solution define what a digital asset is and provides some 418 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: transparency and clarity for consumers, investors, and innovators on blockchain 419 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: as to what the rules are. We have a functional 420 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: regulation system in our country, whether you're a commodity or 421 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: a security, whether you're to be regulator as an investment 422 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 1: or something else, and we need to clarify that so 423 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: that America remains an innovative place for blockchain. And that 424 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 1: was Republican Congressman French Hill of Arkansas speaking with David 425 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: Weston on Bloomberg's Balance of Power.

Hopes for wider adoption of electric vehicles 609 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 1: have been fueled in part by declines in battery prices. 610 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: It was a trend that went on for a decade, 611 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 1: but at ground to a halt this year.

Washington has been pushing its 706 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 1: allies to join efforts to cut off China. That's the 707 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 1: Bloomberg and j I t Stem report. Nathan all right, Karen, 708 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,319 Speaker 1: thank you for coming up to sixty four on Wall Street, 709 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:50,840 Speaker 1: and it is time to check what's going on in 710 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:52,800 Speaker 1: d C. Some of the top stories in our nation's 711 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,800 Speaker 1: capital include Congress poking China with a boost of Taiwan 712 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 1: and a chipspan in the must pass defense bill, President 713 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,360 Speaker 1: Biden to announce thirty six billion dollars for an ailing 714 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:07,320 Speaker 1: Teamsters pension fund, and Democrats demanding a plan from Elon 715 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,799 Speaker 1: Musk to combat hate speech on Twitter. Let's get more 716 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,799 Speaker 1: on some of these stories. Now. We're joined live by 717 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Government congressional reporter Jack Fitzpatrick, who's been watching not 718 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,359 Speaker 1: just the debate around the Defense bill, but of course 719 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 1: a must pass government funding bill before the next shutdown deadline. Jack, 720 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 1: good morning, So what are these provisions in the defense 721 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:30,320 Speaker 1: bill they could upset China. Well, they're focused on Taiwan. 722 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 1: One of them is that it authorizes, or would authorize, 723 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:38,359 Speaker 1: if enacted, ten billion dollars in weapons sales to Taiwan. UH. 724 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 1: There's also another measure that generally would restrict the use 725 00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 1: of semiconductor chips made by some Chinese companies in items 726 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,279 Speaker 1: used by the military. UH. Some of these provisions were 727 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 1: scaled back a bit. There was an earlier proposal two 728 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,360 Speaker 1: more broadly stop the use of those chips from Chinese 729 00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:02,800 Speaker 1: companies by all government contractors that would be much more aggressive, 730 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,399 Speaker 1: and there was some pushback to that. The Biden administration 731 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 1: also succeeded in getting lawmakers to take out language that 732 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:14,440 Speaker 1: would designate Taiwan a major non NATO ally, which is 733 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 1: essentially already the U s S stance on it. But 734 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,760 Speaker 1: there was quite a bit of controversy with with China 735 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,239 Speaker 1: and the Biden administration saying maybe adding that language would 736 00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,320 Speaker 1: go too far, so they've scaled it back in some ways. 737 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:32,320 Speaker 1: But again, the authorization for weapons sales and some limitations 738 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,520 Speaker 1: on purchases of chips by Chinese companies is definitely a 739 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,279 Speaker 1: significant thing in this bill. Yeah, interesting to see some 740 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,719 Speaker 1: of the back and forth going on, given that the 741 00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,640 Speaker 1: president has been at least trying to keep US China 742 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 1: relations from getting even worse after that meeting last month 743 00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,600 Speaker 1: with Chinese President She Now, Jack, I know you've been 744 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,799 Speaker 1: following very closely what's going on with government funding. There's 745 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,520 Speaker 1: a shutdown deadline coming up in what a little more 746 00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 1: than a week. What's the latest there, Yes, the deadline 747 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 1: is the sixteenth, that's next Friday. Uh. The latest I've 748 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 1: heard is that Democrats, Uh, this seems to be a 749 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 1: joint effort between the House and Senate Democrats are are 750 00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 1: going to put out their own omnibus UH spending package 751 00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,320 Speaker 1: that they see as more or less a bipartisan offer, 752 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:22,160 Speaker 1: even though there's still no bipartisan agreement no Republicans sign off. 753 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 1: So they're going to put out on Monday, the Monday 754 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,120 Speaker 1: before a Friday deadline, UH, their own omnibus package that 755 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:33,319 Speaker 1: they feel like potentially could pass both chambers if there's 756 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 1: no sign off from Republican leadership. This would be an 757 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,400 Speaker 1: extremely long shot, and it's probably more reflective of the 758 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,360 Speaker 1: fact that there's a bit of a standoff just on 759 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 1: the top lines. They haven't decided UH and agreed in 760 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,680 Speaker 1: a bipartisan way on how much money to spend on 761 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,600 Speaker 1: defense versus domestic programs UH, And until they do that, 762 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:56,120 Speaker 1: they can't really write a real bipartisan bill. But this 763 00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,480 Speaker 1: is at least a move by Democrats to just kind 764 00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,560 Speaker 1: of shake the branches and see what falls out and 765 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 1: hope that it speeds along further negotiations. All right, let's 766 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 1: turn to the White House. Now, the self described most 767 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,880 Speaker 1: pro union president ever is putting a focus on union 768 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 1: pensions today. Yes, he is going to hold an announcement 769 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,840 Speaker 1: today on a thirty six billion dollar bailout for the 770 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:25,640 Speaker 1: Central States Pension Fund UH that largely supports retirees and 771 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:29,600 Speaker 1: workers from the Teamsters. Uh This is obviously notable. After 772 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:35,120 Speaker 1: uh there was some disappointment among some labor focused supporters 773 00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:39,600 Speaker 1: of the president on the way the rail strike or 774 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,799 Speaker 1: the way to avoid a rail strike has has shaken out, 775 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:47,000 Speaker 1: with the President pushing for Congress to impose an agreement 776 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:52,279 Speaker 1: that four of the thirteen rail freight rail unions did 777 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 1: not support. Uh so's He's going to have the president 778 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,000 Speaker 1: of the Teamsters, the president of the a f l 779 00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,600 Speaker 1: c I O Labor Secretary at this event. There does 780 00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,520 Speaker 1: seem to be a political angle along this, with Biden 781 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:07,719 Speaker 1: sort of trying to re up his or re emphasize 782 00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:11,839 Speaker 1: his general support for unions. And finally, Jack, in our 783 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:15,319 Speaker 1: last minute here, we just got word this hour of 784 00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,360 Speaker 1: more pressure from Capitol Hill on the new CEO and 785 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:23,719 Speaker 1: owner of Twitter, Elon Musk, tell us more about that. Yeah, 786 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,560 Speaker 1: Adam Schiff and Mark Takano, to Democratic members of the House, 787 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:31,440 Speaker 1: sent Elon Musk a letter asking him about what they 788 00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:35,359 Speaker 1: see as a sharp rise in hate speech on Twitter. UH. 789 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:39,000 Speaker 1: They referenced a study by the Center for Countering Digital Hate, 790 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:42,320 Speaker 1: saying there's been an increase in anti Semitic and racial 791 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:46,719 Speaker 1: slurs since Musk became ci A CEO. Uh so, they 792 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 1: they've they've asked him to respond with an outline on 793 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:54,080 Speaker 1: what he's doing about that. They also specifically flagged anti 794 00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:58,960 Speaker 1: l g B t Q uh posts on Twitter. Uh So, 795 00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:02,319 Speaker 1: definitely a refle action of concern at least among Democrats 796 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:06,920 Speaker 1: on hate speech on Twitter. Alright, Bloomberg Government Congressional reporter 797 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,680 Speaker 1: Jack Fitzpatrick keeping us on top of all that's happening 798 00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:13,080 Speaker 1: in Washington.

All right, Karen, thank you. 836 00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:17,200 Speaker 1: It is six fifty six on Wall Street. Bloomberg Surveillance 837 00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 1: is up next, but first we want to take a 838 00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,560 Speaker 1: look at some of the stocks moving in the pre market. 839 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,920 Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Kaylee Lines joins US Live for that, and Kaylee 840 00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,360 Speaker 1: Karen mentioned the move we're seeing an X on mobile 841 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,080 Speaker 1: shares on the stock buy back expansion. I wonder if 842 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:32,360 Speaker 1: that's part of what's bringing the broader market just a 843 00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:35,239 Speaker 1: little bit higher right now. Yeah, it definitely could be. 844 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,160 Speaker 1: I mean, this move for Exxon is relatively significant. I 845 00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:39,799 Speaker 1: mean the line on the chart is straight up because 846 00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,040 Speaker 1: it was little change in premarket trading now, it's one 847 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,000 Speaker 1: three quarters of one percent on this buy back. And 848 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,600 Speaker 1: when I say buy back, holy buy back fifty billion 849 00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:51,120 Speaker 1: dollars through four. So they're returning more money to shareholders 850 00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,600 Speaker 1: as these energy companies always seem to prioritize, and they 851 00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,319 Speaker 1: aren't going to up their capital investment. They say that 852 00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,880 Speaker 1: will remain at twenty five billion dollars through seven. So 853 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 1: raises an interesting political question considering the Biden administration has 854 00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:07,680 Speaker 1: been pushing energy companies like Exxon to reinvest more profit 855 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,480 Speaker 1: into production to keep prices that pumped down for the 856 00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,359 Speaker 1: American consumer. But clearly x in doing something a little 857 00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,080 Speaker 1: different with that windfall. And it's interesting to contrast this 858 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:19,400 Speaker 1: with what we heard from Chevron yesterday. They're allegating an 859 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,359 Speaker 1: extra two billion dollars to cap to capex next year 860 00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:23,880 Speaker 1: to invest in more production. So a bit of a 861 00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,719 Speaker 1: contrast here, but clearly x On investors like what they're hearing, 862 00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:28,279 Speaker 1: and I guess we're seeing a little bit of a 863 00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:32,880 Speaker 1: contrast from the traditional energy space to the green energy space. 864 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:36,319 Speaker 1: We're seeing Tesla shares continuing to be under pressure this morning. Yeah, 865 00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,480 Speaker 1: right now, they're down about one point eight percent trading 866 00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,360 Speaker 1: it a hundred and seventy dollars a share, and I 867 00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:42,000 Speaker 1: think we can chalk up most of that move to 868 00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,440 Speaker 1: what's going on in China. The company is going to 869 00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:48,360 Speaker 1: shorten production shifts at its Shanghai factory as soon as Monday, 870 00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,560 Speaker 1: plus they're delaying the onboarding of some new hires, So 871 00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,480 Speaker 1: this really adds fuel to the narrative that demand for 872 00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:58,720 Speaker 1: Tesla's electric vehicles in China is just simply not meeting expectations. 873 00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,040 Speaker 1: And this is a really important market for Tesla. Made 874 00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:04,720 Speaker 1: up about two of their revenue last quarter, so China 875 00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,359 Speaker 1: is very significant. The other Tesla related story that may 876 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,040 Speaker 1: be weighing on the stock is some blooperg reporting overnight 877 00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:12,920 Speaker 1: that some of Elon Musk's bankers are considering providing him 878 00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,920 Speaker 1: a new margin loan or multiple loans backed by Tesla 879 00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:17,960 Speaker 1: stock to replace some of that high interest debt he 880 00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,759 Speaker 1: layered on to buy Twitter forty four billion dollars. So 881 00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,200 Speaker 1: that may be a risk, But China obviously more directly 882 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,560 Speaker 1: tied to the company's fundamentals, and I think that's what's 883 00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,799 Speaker 1: dragging on the stock at this point. And just quickly, Kayley, 884 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:29,480 Speaker 1: I wonder if that sort of pushes back against the 885 00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,120 Speaker 1: broader China narrative when we're seeing the country sort of 886 00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,960 Speaker 1: go a little bit away from COVID zero. Yeah, in 887 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,040 Speaker 1: Hong Kong as well, there was more reporting overnight that 888 00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:40,320 Speaker 1: the government made further loosen restrictions there, so that also 889 00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,160 Speaker 1: is moving the markets that did so in Asia. It 890 00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:44,400 Speaker 1: is also affecting some stocks here in the US, including 891 00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,480 Speaker 1: casino operators like Las Vegas stands and when resorts there, 892 00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:49,359 Speaker 1: each up about three and a half percent because they 893 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,920 Speaker 1: have big revenue exposure to Macau. And then some of 894 00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,520 Speaker 1: those Chinese technology stocks with listings here the a d 895 00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:56,600 Speaker 1: R s of Billy Billy, for example, which is a 896 00:48:56,719 --> 00:49:00,000 Speaker 1: Chinese online entertainment and video company, are doing really well. 897 00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,200 Speaker 1: That stock is up ten point four percent in pre 898 00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:05,680 Speaker 1: market today, and it's up a hundred and forty over 899 00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:07,920 Speaker 1: the course from the start of November two now. So 900 00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:09,880 Speaker 1: it just really goes to show you how sizeable some 901 00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,720 Speaker 1: of those moves are. Yeah, no kidding, Bloomberg's Kaylee lines, 902 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,560 Speaker 1: thanks for this, Kayley, great have you gone with us? 903 00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,640 Speaker 1: Looking ahead to the open, futures are moving higher. U 904 00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:20,960 Speaker 1: S and P futures right now up ten points Nathan 905 00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:24,279 Speaker 1: Hager alongside Karen Moscow.
