We begin with a selloff in 18 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: Tesla shares this morning. They're down more than five percent. 19 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:15,559 Speaker 1: Elon Musk's much hyped master plan fell flat with Tesla's investors. 20 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: The four hour presentation on Investor Day failed to offer 21 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: any firm detail on the company's next generation of electric cars. 22 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: Musk did, however, Tesla's leadership in artificial intelligence, so as 23 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: we solve real world AI. I don't think there's any 24 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: I don't think there's anyone even close to Tesla unsolving 25 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: real world AI. Elon Musk did confirm a new plant 26 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: in Mexico will build Tesla's next generation of vehicles, but 27 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: he didn't offer details on timing well. The decline in 28 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: Tesla's shares not helping market sentiment. This morning, Nathan stocks 29 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: are lower around the world, and yields on ten year 30 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: treasuries or above four percent for the first time since November. 31 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: More central bankers, like Minneapolis Spent President Neil cash Cary 32 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: are hammering home the message that rates will keep going up. 33 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: I'm open minded at this point about whether it's twenty 34 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: five or fifty. Basis points to me much. What's much 35 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: more important than whether it's twenty five or fifty is 36 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 1: what we signal in what's called the dot plot. And 37 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: cash carry in. The FED raise rates by twenty five 38 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: basis points at their last meeting. Markets are currently pricing 39 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: in three more hikes of that size. Another note on 40 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: central banks this morning, Karen brings us to the Federal 41 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,839 Speaker 1: Reserve Bank of Chicago. It turns out the search firm 42 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 1: it hired to find a new president includes the wife 43 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: of Austin Gulsby among its executive Schoolsby was ultimately picked 44 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 1: for the role. He took over leadership of the bank 45 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: in January and is now a voting member of the FED. 46 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: The Chicago FED spokesperson says, quote, we have every confidence 47 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: in the integrity of the search process. Well in Europe, Nathan, 48 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: looks like rates will continue to go up. BCB president 49 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: Christine Lagard told a Spanish TV show that interest rate 50 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: increases may need to continue beyond a planned half point 51 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: move two weeks from now. Laguard said policymakers will do 52 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 1: everything to return inflation to their two percent target. And 53 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: following those comments, Karen, we're getting fresh inflation data out 54 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: of the EU, crossing the Bloomberg just moments ago.

While staying in Europe, we're taking a 58 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: close look at Credit Suite this morning. We're learning the 59 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 1: bank is escalating efforts to win back clients, and we 60 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: get the story live with the Bloomberg's UIN parts in London. 61 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: Good morning, Uen, Good morning Karen and Nathan. If you've 62 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: got five million bucks to deposit, then Credit Suiee wants 63 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 1: your business. After unprecedented outflows in the latest quarter, Bloomberg 64 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: has learned the Swiss Bank has raised three month rates 65 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: in Asia too, as much as about six and a 66 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: half percent for new money. That's close to one hundred 67 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: basis points more than it was offering in December. It's 68 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: also high the rivals, including Ubs, JP Morgan and Citygroup 69 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: a clear signed Credit Suite wants to rebuild assets in 70 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: the region.

Back here in the US 72 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: shares of Salesforce, you're up nearly fifteen percent. That's after 73 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: an upbeat forecast for the coming year. We caught up 74 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: with Chairman and CEO Mark Benioff as we really focus 75 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: on our performance, on our profitability on the reprioritization back 76 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: to being a core CRM company. It was really time 77 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: to put the M and A committee on ice and 78 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: just mitigate what we've been doing with M and A 79 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: and let's focus more on our core Mark Benioff's also 80 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: praising activist investors for piling into Salesforce. The CEOs enjoying 81 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: a victory lap with these strong results after those very 82 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: same investors pushed for changes at Salesforce over the past 83 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: few months. Well. We've also been speaking with the CEO 84 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: of Chevron, Nathan Mike Wortz says rising Chinese oil demand 85 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: and dwindling spare capacity around the world may push crewd 86 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: prices higher this year. All the leading indicators would suggest 87 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: that economic activity is picking up, energy demand is picking up, 88 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: and I think as we get into the middle of 89 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: this year and certainly into the second half of these year, 90 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: that demand is likely to tighten markets a little bit. 91 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,679 Speaker 1: Chevron CEO Mike Worretz says China's reopening will provide steady 92 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: demand growth through the year. And checking oil right now, 93 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: nimex screwed oils up half percent or thirty seven cents 94 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: at seventy eight dollars six cents a barrel. Brent is 95 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: up four tents of a percent at eighty four dollars 96 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: sixty four cents. Now, we've been speaking with the CEO 97 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: of coin Base Global, Brian Armstrong, is pushing back at 98 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: SEC efforts to regulate the crypto exchanges so called staking product. 99 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: In coin bass case, our staking product is not a security. 100 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: There's many differences. I mean, we customers never turn over 101 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 1: their assets to coin Base, for instance, They're always in 102 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: the customer's possession, and we're really just providing a service 103 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: that passes through those coins to help them participate in staking, 104 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: which is a decentralized protocol. Brian Armstrong says Coinbase received 105 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: investigative subpoenas from the SEC about staking. It works by 106 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 1: letting users generate yields in return for using their tokens 107 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: to facilitate blockchain transactions. Well, staying in the crypto world now, Nathan, 108 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: there are concerns of another crypto firm collapse. Shares of 109 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,679 Speaker 1: Silvergate Capital are plunging on news it's delaying its annual report. 110 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: We get the details live with Bloomberg Steve Rabiport. It's 111 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: Steve Goodman. Good morning, Karen and Nathan's silver stocks sank 112 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: as much as thirty two percent in pre market trading 113 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: after the firm said it's studying its status as a 114 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: growing concern. Silvergate says the delay is necessary to review 115 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: financial controls and to assess the damage from the collapse 116 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: of FTX. Many Silvergate customers pulled out after FTX went 117 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: belly up late last year. The company already reported a 118 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 1: one billion dollars loss for the fourth quarter and warned 119 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: that number could climb higher.

Good morning, Amy, 126 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: Good morning Nathan. New York City advocates are outraged NYPD 127 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: representatives failed to show up at yesterday's oversight hearing. Instead, 128 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: the department submitted written testimony as council members spent hours 129 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: listening to public concerns over the departments Tegic Response Group. 130 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 1: There's a lot of people here who I wanted to 131 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: talk to, and then I hear I don't understand that 132 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: we have to have this whole bureaucracy to hold them accountable, 133 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: and they don't even show up. In a statement, the 134 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: NYPD wrote that in part, it is committed to changing 135 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: its practices, but opponents say the SRG commits acts of 136 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: violence without being held accountable. Now this after the city 137 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: agreed to pay nearly seven million dollars to more than 138 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: three hundred demonstrators who were mistreated during a twenty twenty 139 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: protest against police violence. The anti protest practice, known as kettling, 140 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: boxed in racial justice demonstrators and then hit them with 141 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: batons and pepper spray. New York City agreed to pay 142 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: twenty one five hundred dollars to each protester involved. Now, 143 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: with the judge approves, it will cost the city between 144 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: four million and six million dollars. Chicago's police chief announced 145 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: his resignation just today after Laurie Lightfoot became the first 146 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: mayor of the third largest US city to lose a 147 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: re election bid in forty years. Police super into David 148 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: Brown says he'll leave his post effective March sixteenth and 149 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: will take a job as the chief operating officer of 150 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: a personal injury law firm. Chicago is faced with rising 151 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: violence that sparked outrage among residents and business leaders. Roughly 152 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: one point seven million homeowners and renters will be benefiting 153 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: from one of the largest tax relief programs in New 154 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: Jersey's history.

Renters get a four hundred fifty 159 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: dollars rebate. And SpaceX has launched four astronauts to the 160 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: International Space Station four NASA.

The Nicks and Nets close to 169 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 1: each other in the standings, but that's because the Nets 170 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 1: used to have Kevin Durant Kyrie Irvy. Of course they 171 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: no longer do, and it doesn't appear they'll remain close 172 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: as these two teams are clearly going opposite ways. Nets 173 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,719 Speaker 1: have lost Fournow eight of their last ten. Knicks have 174 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: won their last seven, yet to lose since they made 175 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,319 Speaker 1: that trade to get Josh Hart from Portland. At the Garden, 176 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 1: it was all Knicks a forty seven point first quarter 177 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: when they shot seventy eight percent eighty two percent on 178 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: three pointers. The final was one forty two to one eighteen. 179 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson scored thirty nine points, all but nine came 180 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 1: in the first half. It he took four shots in 181 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: the second half. Cam Johnson led Brooklyn with thirty three. 182 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 1: Tomorrow Knight, the Nets go to Boston Celtic's one last 183 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: night over Cleveland. The Knicks will play Tomorrow night in Miami. 184 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: Durant played for the Suns last night for the first 185 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: time back from his knee injury that he's suffered while 186 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: with Brooklyn. He scored twenty three and a Phoenix win 187 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: at Charlotte, Milwaukee won again. That's sixteen wins in a 188 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 1: row for the Bucks. Rangers in Philadelphia because advantage had 189 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: a first period goal on the power play his thirty second. 190 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: Chris Cryder scored his twenty six. They went to overtime. 191 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: It's played by Hedel the Tarasenko between the circles. Tarrasinco 192 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: fires that scores. Vladimir Tarasenko, his third goal as a Ranger, 193 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: lights the lamp for the Blue Shirts three to two 194 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 1: victory and overtop ESPN New York had the call. Tarasenko 195 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: a recent acquisition. Patrick Kane an even more recent acquisition. 196 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: Kane will make his Rangers debut tonight at the Garden 197 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 1: against Ottawa Devil.

Mason started 199 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: the Northeast Conference Tournament season, ending losses for Wagner LYU 200 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: and Saint Francis. Notre Dame upset Pittsburgh. It was the 201 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: last home game for long time Notre Dame coach Mike Bray, 202 00:10:54,400 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: John Stasheward, Bloomberg Sports Live from coast to host from 203 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: New York to San Francisco, Boston to Washington, DC nationwide 204 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: on Sirius Exam, the Bloomberg Business App, and Bloomberg dot Com. 205 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning. I'm Nathan Hagar. Milon 206 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: Musk has unveiled his third master plan for Tesla, and 207 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: so far, so far, it does not seem to be 208 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: falling too well with investors. Right now, Tesla shares are 209 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: down more than five and a half percent after a 210 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: lot of talk from the gigafactory in Austin about a 211 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: sustainable energy future for the planet, but not much in 212 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 1: the way of specifics. For more, We're joined by Bloomberg 213 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: Global Autos editor Craig Trudell. Craig, good Morning. Was a 214 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: four hour presentation, and I mean, arguably you could say 215 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: that Tesla did deliver on at least putting out a 216 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: message about the sustainable energy future, because there was certainly 217 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: a lot of talk about that. Yeah, I think the 218 00:11:54,800 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: beginning of the presentation was definitely heavy on details. There 219 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: sort of calculations of what it's going to take along 220 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: with you know, some hints of of Tesla's role and 221 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: that obviously everyone knows. Uh. You know that that you know, 222 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: they have the cars, they have the battery storage products. Uh. 223 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 1: There was there was a suggestion that they may get 224 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,719 Speaker 1: into making key pumps for homes. But you know, the 225 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: big news that was sort of anticipated was a next 226 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: generation vehicle that the company has alluded to uh in 227 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: the past few months and really even more than two 228 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 1: years ago when they held their battery day, they talked about, 229 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: you know, a much cheaper model, a twenty five thousand 230 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: dollar car. Uh. There there was really very little in 231 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: the way of details there, uh, and that you know, 232 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: sort of left left the crowd hanging. I think that 233 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: is the big reason why we're seeing the reaction this morning. Well, 234 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 1: we're investors expecting too much from an event like this. 235 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: Was this the right venue for analyst to hear about 236 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 1: things like a lower priced sedan or specifics about Tesla's 237 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: model lineup going forward. I think it's honestly hard to say, 238 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,599 Speaker 1: because you know, you never really know what Musk is 239 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: going to do, right, and and I do think that 240 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: you know, when you sort of tout the event as 241 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: you know, the plan for transitioning the world to sustainable energy, 242 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: you know clearly a low price electric car would play 243 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: a big part in that. And so I do think that, 244 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: you know, the expectation of something on that product was understandable, 245 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: and you know that that helps explain why there there's 246 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,319 Speaker 1: been such a letdown in terms of, you know, how 247 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: the investors are digesting this. It was interesting as well 248 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: during this presentation to see Musk put forward a lot 249 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: of executives, more than a dozen of them, some of 250 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: whom investors have never really seen before. What does that 251 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: say about the leadership at Tesla? Yeah, you know, I 252 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 1: think that's a very clear response to the criticism that 253 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: Musk has gotten and that the board has gotten about. Uh, 254 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 1: you know, who's who's behind Musk and what happens to 255 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: this company? You know, if and when he moves on. 256 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any expectation that you know, he 257 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: wants to leave ut Tesla. But of course we know 258 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: he's stretched awfully thin. He was already running several other 259 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: companies before he acquired Twitter. Uh, and I think he 260 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: provided some fresh evidence of just how distracted he is 261 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: by that company by tweeting during during the presentation when 262 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: some of his executives were speaking, and so, uh, you know, 263 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: I think there was there was clearly an attempt there 264 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: to show uh, you know, some of the talent on 265 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: the bench for for Tesla to sort of address some 266 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: of some of that criticism. So is there anything, Craig 267 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: that you heard from the presentation that investors can hang 268 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: their hats on when it comes to Tesla's immediate plans. 269 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: I think one of the things that was really interesting, 270 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: you know, to the extent they did talk about that 271 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: their next generation vehicle, they've talked about the drive unit 272 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: not using rare earth metals. Since so we've seen uh 273 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: miners of those metals react in a really substantial way 274 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: that that isn't a huge shock. We've heard automakers like 275 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: BMW talk about efforts to get rid of rare earth. Um, 276 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: you know, in addition to uh this being you know, 277 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: sort of a dirty process mining those they're expensive and 278 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: and uh you know rare is in the name, right, 279 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: and so uh it's not necessarily a shocker that they're 280 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: going in that direction, but uh, definitely, um, you know, 281 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: judging from the reaction and shares of those companies that 282 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: came as a bit of a surprise. I think they 283 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: also interestingly talked about, uh, you know, lithium refining and 284 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: and sort of their reluctance to get into the business 285 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: of mining lithium if they can have avoid it, but 286 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: that they do see you know, real sort of stress 287 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: in the refining space and that they're going to jump 288 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: into that to help play a role in sort of 289 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: sorting out that bottleneck.
