Meet Tesla’s Biggest Rival: The Lucid Air
[Music],tesla is one of the worlds most,influential companies,and its sleek vehicles have become,synonymous with electric car technology,but as the world transitions away from,traditional combustion engines and,adopts clean energy,tesla has developed a number of,intimidating competitors chief among,them is lucid motors who revealed their,revolutionary lucid air in late 2016.,so what exactly do we know about teslas,greatest rival,when lucid motors first announced the,lucid air back in 2016,it looked more like a cheap knock-off,tesla model s but in the subsequent,years,lucid motors hired some of the most,talented engineers in the business,and developed a car with enough flair to,make tesla nervous,with up to 517 miles of epa estimated,all-electric range and as much as 1080,horsepower,the lucid air has the stats to back up,its futuristic image,to put this in perspective the model s,only has a range of 402 miles,a full 100 miles fewer than the lucid,air the first model from startup lucid,motors boasts an aerodynamic shape,thats functional,and fashionable its spacious and upscale,cabin is covered by a glass canopy that,should help it live up to its,atmospheric name,the air also mixes practicality with,technology sporting,spacious storage options and no shortage,of impressive driver assists,the company says the owners should be,able to resupply 300 miles of range in,20 minutes at a fast charging station,and for those in a hurry the quickest,version can travel a quarter mile in,under 10 seconds,according to lucid motors vice president,derek jenkins its a good all-round size,for maneuverability performance and,handling,and certainly for getting around in big,cities and parking internationally,but thats the outside the inside is,more in line with the full-sized sedan,like the s-class or a bmw 7-series,lucid is especially proud of the sedans,expansive passenger space which is,highlighted by a large back seat,while the standard rear seating is said,to be comfortable for up to three adults,theres also an optional executive rear,seating option,that brings significant reclining,functions for ultimate comfort,the airs cabin will offer a mostly,glass roof that makes it feel even,airier,and helps outward visibility the sedans,front center console looks to provide,generous storage space behind the,retractable lower touch screen,and inside the large center console pin,which houses a set of cup holders as,well as slots to place a smartphone,the base model lucid air will start at,an as yet determined price below eighty,thousand dollars,the lucid air touring model will start,at ninety five thousand dollars with a,range of 406 miles and 620 horsepower,the air grand touring will start at 139,000,with a range of 517 miles and 800,horsepower,a limited edition performance model the,lucid air dream edition,will start at 169 000 with a range of,465 or 503 miles depending on wheel size,and 1080 horsepower compare this to a,model s which retails for around,nine thousand nine hundred ninety,dollars for a base model,as the public starts to recognize,climate change and move to renewable,technology,the electric vehicles industry is,progressively competitive there are,already numerous rivals such as nikola,rivian bollinger motors and lordstown,motors the main hurdle for each of these,companies is mass producing cars,efficiently,an issue that has long played tesla the,difference is that tesla had a full,decade to perfect its own logistics,system and although they only produce,around 300 000 cars a year,elon musk hopes to produce more than 20,million a year,but lucid motors appears to be in a,league of its own financing is taken,care of for now,in 2019 lucid obtained a one billion,dollar investment from the sovereign,wealth fund of saudi arabia,according to the founder the vehicle is,truly mass producible,its 100 in-house and there is nothing,else remotely close to this,their staff of 1000 is working around,the clock to get the vehicles ready for,the 2021 release date,he said the companys goal is to make 34,000 vehicles per year once it completes,its first phase of ramp up,with plans to get up to 400 000 per year,within six years,by comparison tesla sold 367,5500 vehicles worldwide in 2019,up 50 for the year lucid hasnt yet,revealed the size of the lucid airs,battery pack,except to indicate that it will be,smaller than the 130 kilowatt hours,company executives have previously,talked about,the tesla model s long range plus has a,100 kilowatt hours battery packet thats,a high voltage for an electric car,by comparison porsche boasts of the 800,volt system it uses in its high,performance taken,voltage is analogous to water pressure,in a plumbing system its a measure of,how much power can be pushed through an,electric cars cables and wires and how,quickly,the air is outfitted with a,sophisticated infotainment system,that incorporates a large upper touch,screen that flows out of the fully,digital gauge monitor,and a tablet-like lower touchscreen that,handles additional functions and can be,retracted into the dashboard,lucid says the systems voice,recognition software will respond to,natural speech patterns,the interface also has an artificial,assistant that learns the users,preferred music and climate settings,in addition to some physical controls on,the steering wheel there are a set of,toggles for temperature and fan speed as,well as a roller to adjust the volume of,the audio system,although the lucid air was specifically,built to compete with the model s,many people see the tesla cyber truck as,a direct response to lucid motors,the cyber truck from tesla would match,lucids range and performance,specifications,while also offering versatility for,tasks such as construction and camping,the lucid air dream edition also doesnt,have something that the cybertruck does,affordability the tesla cybertruck,tri-motor variant starts at sixty nine,thousand nine hundred and ninety dollars,while offering five hundred miles of,range and acceleration from zero to,sixty in under two point nine seconds,this is roughly two-thirds of the price,of a lucid air,the consumer base of the two vehicles,will likely be vastly different,the cyber trucks affordability across,its three variants will prove to be a,bigger seller,especially considering the truck has an,estimated 500 000 pre-orders ahead of,its planned initial production phase,the cyber truck also pulled wind from,the sails of rivien who had planned to,introduce the first fully electric,pickup to the market with the r1t,however the cyber truck took over a,massive amount of the appeal,because of its unique design and sci-fi,release event which captured the,attention of millions,while elon musk hasnt made any specific,statements about the lucid air,he moved the cyber truck release date to,may 2021,corresponding with the debut of the air,its clear he views lucid motors as his,primary rival,and maybe the grudge is personal ceo,peter rawlington was teslas vice,president of engineering in 2013 when he,quit to start his own company,its unclear what musks personal,relationship is like with rawlinson but,he is a ceo with a reputation for,letting emotions fuel his business,decisions,all the public can do is watch as these,two titans of electric vehicle,technology vive,attention on the international stageElon Musk: NEW Tesla Chip Will Destroy ALL Competitors!
if you ask any EV enthusiasts about what,makes a Tesla so unique from other EVS,on the market theyre bound to give you,one of two answers theyll either point,out that the Tesla vehicles incredible,performance numbers or refer to,something that Teslas are admirably,known for their full self-driving system,or FSD for short however to let a,vehicle move by itself without human,input requires an extremely powerful,combination of artificial,intelligence-based software and equally,capable Hardware Tesla does seem to want,to take its FSD to the next level and,has just unveiled its new FSD chip which,has the potential to kill its,competition what is this ship capable of,and how can it revolutionize the way,humans Drive forever these are the,questions well be answering in todays,video,before we get into the chip itself its,important to understand how Teslas,self-driving system works in the first,place although Tesla vehicles have had,the autopilot for years now it was,plagued by its fair share of limitations,for one this autopilot system would only,work on low intensity conditions like,cruising on a highway for instance the,company didnt have the confidence to,let its autopilot system steer Intercity,and navigate around complex Urban,environments automatically however this,differed a lot from elons initial,Vision to make a vehicle that wouldnt,require human beings to touch a steering,wheel or put their foot on the,accelerator at all to solve this musk,announced a Tesla FSD back in 2016. at,the time it made headlines worldwide as,even driver assistance systems werent,that prominent let alone driverless,vehicles but theres a catch here Tesla,customers never really got to experience,the system in its whole Glory you see,the FSD beta provided by Tesla to,customers who were willing to pay an,extra 200 a month and allowed them to,access basic driver assistance features,for instance the system had the capacity,to change lanes and switch freeways on,the highway and could even Park itself,both parallel and perpendicular at the,push of a button moreover the system,could also alert drivers of traffic,signals and slow signs and slow down,accordingly customers were also provided,with the luxury of summoning their,vehicles from their parking spot with,just a command on the Tesla phone app,while all these features were extremely,convenient it was far from the promise,of a fully self-driving electric vehicle,moreover other luxury car manufacturers,had caught up to Tesla offering this,same set of features in their vehicles,as well this had many Tesla customers,wondering why the company was taking so,long to completely implement the system,after all this is Elon Musk were,talking about and the 51 year old,entrepreneur has a reputation of making,the impossible happen well the reason,for the delay was that the hardware and,software behind the FSD system just,werent capable or polished enough as,you might have expected making a car,drive on its own is no easy task by any,means it requires an advanced set of,Hardware that needs to work flawlessly,with the software to detect obstacles as,well as signals or signs on the road,when it came to software the company had,to implement the power of artificial,intelligence neural networks and machine,learning learning to catch information,that was fed into the system by the,hardware this would allow the vehicles,to react to the driving condition in,real time thus making self-driving,possible however we cannot talk about,Teslas FSD without talking about its,Hardware on the hardware side of things,Vehicles equipped with FSD were fitted,out with eight external high resolution,camera modules paired with 12 ultrasonic,sensors these devices would pick up,information about anything on the road,ranging from traffic lights trees,pedestrians road signs Road lanes and,other vehicles on the road and feed it,to the system but were missing an,important piece of the system here the,computer you see to run FSD systems and,synchronize the hardware with the,software in real time Tesla needs a,powerful chip inside of its vehicles,till 2019 Tesla had been using AI chips,from the American Semiconductor giant,Nvidia however the company soon realized,that in order to fulfill their dreams of,an actual FSD vehicle theyd need,something more powerful in typical Elon,fashion Tesla started to develop its own,in-house AI computers consisting of not,one but two chips the result was an,incredible Tesla AI chip that was,included in Teslas Hardware 3 computer,not only were these chips able to,process video frames 21 times more,quickly than his previous Nvidia,counterpart but were also a whole lot,cheaper coming in at just 80 of the cost,Tesla chose a South Korean Tech Samsung,as its partner to manufacture these,chips and these chips can now be found,in vehicles manufactured from 2019 up,until now but if theres something that,you have to know about Tesla it is that,the company doesnt like to settle in,terms of its technology looking to push,past limits and improve its existing,Tech Elon recently hinted at Tesla,bringing a newer hardware for FSD,computer into the market and who did,Elon turn to to manufacture the brand,new chips for this steam piece of,Hardware instead of turning to the,mighty semiconductor manufacturers like,AMD Nvidia or even Samsung Tesla turned,to the biggest of them all tsmc or,Taiwan semiconductor manufacturing,company if you werent aware already,tsmc is the worlds most valuable,semiconductor business while also being,the largest dedicated independent,semiconductor Foundry according to,reports Tesla has placed an order with,tsmc to power its next generation of FSD,hardware and this could make Tesla the,taiwaneses firms largest customer in,2023 with such a large order one thing,can be certain there are huge changes,incoming with the hardware for FSD what,are some of the expected changes that,these tsmc chips will bring and how will,it shake up the market before we answer,these questions though make sure to like,the video if youve been enjoying it so,far for starters dsmcs new Chips will,be built on different process while,Samsungs Hardware 3 FSD chip started,out with a 14 nanometer process in 2019,and eventually made it down to 7,nanometers with its latest iteration the,smcs new chips are expected to to be,built on the four nanometer process,making the chips more transistor dense,while also increasing its power,efficiency if youre wondering why lure,is better let us explain a Chips,nanometer count usually refers to the,length of its transistors the smaller,the transistors the more number of them,that can be fitted into a single chip,making it more powerful but apart from,its increased performance there are,other reasons why Tech heads are excited,about this chip too keeping the new,Chips aside Tesla has decided to give,other Hardware components an upgrade too,one of the upgrades expected with the,hardware for FSD is new cameras for the,system according to the rumors Tesla is,ditching its lidar technology altogether,and is planning on solely depending on 8,cameras per vehicle to run its FSD,System earlier this year Samsung a,company with which Tesla has a history,as we mentioned earlier in the video,confirmed that it won the supply chain,Wars against other Taiwanese,manufacturers the supply camera modules,for Tesla heavy duty Vehicles since,Tesla will rely on its vision camera,kits now the image processing that the,chip will have to perform almost doubles,hence the chips are respected to become,with blazing fast clock speeds on all of,its cores to keep up with all the,Computing demands with all this,technology under its belt Elon believes,that Tesla will be able to score an easy,5 out of 6 rating on the standardized,autonomous driving system with its new,FSD 4.0 package this standardized system,which is adopted by the United States,Department of Transportation defines six,levels of driving automation ranging,from zero which means fully manual to 6,which

David Frum: House Republicans Aim for a Rerun (The Bulwark Podcast)
foreign,[Music],[Applause],[Music],work podcast Im Charlie Sykes it is a,short week because of Thanksgiving so I,hope youre all thinking about what you,are thankful for in the run-up to,Thanksgiving but lets look back at the,last couple of days last couple of weeks,including the election were still,sorting out all of the consequences also,looking ahead to the shambolic clown car,that will be the house Republican,majority in joining me on the podcast,today David from a staff writer at the,Atlantic the author of 10 books most,recently trumpocalypse and trumpocracy,so first of all good morning David hey,thank you so I mentioned that as we were,beginning the podcast I was reading an,op-ed piece in of all places the New,York Post by Bill Barr saying that it is,time to dump Trump its time to move on,that he lacks the qualities for,leadership again kind of interesting,Bill Bill Barr making his move as other,Republicans are are now suggesting that,yeah they may have never been never,Trump they may have been Trump enablers,and rationalizers but now its sort of,kind of never again Trump so we didnt,make a bill Barr escalating pretty,broadly among the donor Community among,the Republican electeds among certainly,former Trump officers office holders,there is a mood to say its time to move,past Trump for reasons wed prefer not,to specify,and theres a suggestion its a little,bit like that dish of yogurt you have at,the back of the refrigerator it was fine,in its time but we are now some weeks,past the little printed date uh so lets,just get rid of it without ever,suggesting there was anything wrong with,the yogurt in the first place unless,youre really hungry and you go okay so,this is just a suggestion it may be old,but but Im gonna eat it anyway or,unless youre a depression baby and says,these young people today with their,throwing things out by the sell by date,why yeah,well heres heres the problem if you,wont grapple with whether the yogurt,was any good or not you raised the,question well is it really true that,its past its sell by date and one of,the things that I see going on in the,Republican world is the core of the,Republican party is a coalition of the,very rich the very religious and the,Very racially anxious,Trumps Secret Sauce in 2016 and he,didnt win a popular vote plurality or,anything like that but he did did better,than maybe another candidate would have,done and he certainly broke through in,the primaries was that Trump found a way,to broaden the Coalition beyond the very,rich the very religious and the Very,racially anxious,and you look at the alternatives to him,now is there any one of them who can,repeat that or are they all falling back,on the problems pre-trump of appealing,only to these very narrow silos in,American Life yeah and there are real,contradictions there as well,um I wasnt planning on getting into,this but I was reading another piece,about the the strains between the,libertarian Live Free or dying strains,and the uh more overtly religious,socially conservative I mean you know at,what point do you have to make a choice,between yeah were going to go with I,want the government to leave me alone,um I want to live free but I also really,want to crack down on drag queen Story,Hour and go after homosexuals and talk,about transgender all the time I mean,and and banned books theres a real,tension there and they havent had to,resolve it yet have they yeah but even,these ideological factions I remember,during the campaign of 1988 George H.W,bush was asked about his philosophy and,he said Im a conservative but Im not a,nut about it,that is the Bedrock of the winning,Republican Coalition people are,conservatives but not not about it so I,mean you know that what happens in the,conservative world is different,varieties of nut have debate about what,kind of nut you should be and so the,libertarian people say you know I,certainly dont want to defame the drag,queens or go after them but I agree you,should be able to put your gun on the,bars you have nine drinks then the,religious people say you know Im not,sure about the gun and the nine drinks,but absolutely drag queens are the,greatest threat to American life and and,all of these people who are running,small businesses and driving the kids to,school and I think there should be less,crime and disorder in the streets and,the book should balance but Im not a,nut about it and you guys all sound like,nuts whos talking to them Trump tried,to do I mean criminal as he was and,Trump is a great marketer and in 2016,Trump understood that that group,um mattered and he found ways to deceive,them and as repellent and wicked As,Trump is he saw marketing possibilities,that are being overlooked by people who,are I think less repellent and less,Wicked but maybe less creative well,whats interesting about the the Paul,Ryans and the bill bars of the world,though is that theyre not saying that,they have a problem with the crazy,theyre saying they have a problem with,the crazy when it loses at some point,they have to take on the crazy dont,they and I have to say that but that,means moving beyond just Donald Trump to,actually taking on this base well it,means also facing something else,um that one thing that lots of,Republicans,um not and not just Trump is succumb to,was the myth of the great victory of,2016. yeah so if you dont,if you once you liberate yourself from,that myth then you must my God the,Republican party has had a voting an,electoral crisis on its hand since the,end of the Cold War this has been the,big theme of my work over the past three,decades there was a dominant Republican,majority for the second half of the Cold,War from Nixon through H.W bush,uh then the Cold War ended and a lot of,the basis of the reassuring Republican,message you know the Republicans other,people are realistic on uh danger they,realistic on dangers abroad and,realistic on dangers at home,um they suddenly stopped looking that,way and so from in 92 96 2000,Republicans have this problem they only,one time they get a majority of the vote,in the presidential election is 2004 in,the aftermath of 9 11 and theyve had,more recently this this string of,popular vote defeats 2016 2018 2020,2022.,um if you are going to think about that,in a serious way then youll say its,the that while Trump is obviously a,moral and constitutional problem that he,was Republicans succumbed to the moral,and constitutional problem of trump,because they had a political problem,that he offered them an exit from and,good for them if they part ways with,Trump but the reason authoritarianism,took root in the Republican party is,because they couldnt win elections fair,and square anymore and if youre going,to break with not just Trump but,authoritarianism you have to find a way,to win elections again and that means,making your peace with modern America,except that they did win this election,in one sense they are going to be taking,control of the House of Representatives,and apparently won the popular vote by,about four points so even though they,underperformed and and the narrative is,that they lost Republicans at some point,are going to convince themselves because,we know how this works maybe they didnt,lose that maybe they have come up with,this formula to win and maybe a formula,to win without Trump well the popular,vote in the House of Representatives is,something we need to not comment on for,a few months because theyre still,counting the ballots in California so we,that may turn out to be less dramatic,and I mean it will be iron that the,classic Democratic problem of voter,inefficiency may have succumbed to the,Republicans that they ran up huge,margins in their safest areas and were,non-competitive in the swing areas but,they did win control of the House of,Representatives but my most recent,article in the Atlantic draws attention,to this parallel I I look at four times,since the Cold War when the house,changed hands 1994 2006 2010 2018. twice,to Republicans 9

Elon Musk: “GM Buy Will DESTROY ALL Tesla Competitors!”
GM continues to evaluate Twitter,advertising suspension following musk,takeover General Motors have been all,over the Internet General Motors have,been making headlines non-stop for the,past few weeks with their public fraud,against Elon Musk inside Twitter and,with slightly more secretive and,indirect feuds outside the social media,platform what is the real reason between,this Vendetta between two of the biggest,EVS of the world,how much of this Feud is due to the,speculated takeover of GM by Elon Musk,is the Takeover a mutual agreement or,are we missing out on some key details,and most importantly will the Takeover,mean a monopoly for Tesla over the EV,industry watch the video till the very,end to find out the answers to all of,your questions and more lets go General,Motors a company with a Visionary goal,to take over the EV Market not just for,making profits but to re-haul the,electronic vehicle world as a whole,being over 114 years old General Motors,has created a legacy under their name,which most EV companies have failed to,do but big goals come with bigger risks,thus to achieve such far-fetched and,high achieving objectives the company,naturally had to take in some huge,investing risks which might have not,quite worked in their favor,under CEO Mary Barra the Detroit company,was among the first automaker companies,to declare billions of dollars in,expenditure to better compete against,Tesla in the battery electric vehicle,segment the motor company had the goal,to modify the worlds views on electric,vehicles and self-serving cars however,their mission turned out to be a,far-fetched dream when the company ran,into huge losses experts suggest a bunch,on the reason for this downfall one of,the main ones being their competitors,Tesla but they were not solely the,reason for the companys downfall,General Motors had several loopholes and,weak points in their production which,gave Tesla the Boost to take over the EV,Market General Motors insane,advertisement tactics with some of the,biggest Hollywood stars stood nowhere,close to the sheer quality and,Excellence that the Tesla automobiles,provided with zero advertisement cost,the situation if the company got so out,of hand the General Motors had to shut,down a handful of its factories as a,last resort hence to save the company,and its employees from the misery Elon,Musk announced his plans of wanting to,take over one of the biggest automobile,real companies General Motors however to,make this takeover a successful one,Tesla needed to double its investment in,the company its no news that the,economical climate of the West isnt the,brightest or most welcoming the constant,inflation and recession have made it,impossible for most businesses to,sustain let alone prosper,to explain the economic stance of,automobile companies Chevy volts one of,the biggest players in the automobile,industry recently announced their,discontinuation from the market,furthermore the company also intends to,shut down a few of their factories and,fire thousands of employees as they are,very close to bankruptcy so we think,its safe to say that taking over a,company close to bankruptcy might not,seem ideal under these circumstances but,what exactly could happen if Tesla,actually took over General Motors what,if the two companies agree on a merger,will the result be positive or absolute,chaos lets discuss in detail its no,fact that Tesla has Illustrated a,tremendous capacity to raise Capital,based on widespread investor confidence,with the faith that electric powered,vehicles will overtake and supersede the,general automobiles that Elon Musk had,instilled in its shareholders Tesla,enjoys brand loyalty like no other but,the General Motors arent any less than,Tesla despite not enjoying similar,advantages like Tesla GM post bankruptcy,has proven Financial sustainability and,its dedication are the companys strong,points a merger of the two would turn,out to be a deadly combination as the,strengths and weaknesses of the two,automakers are complementary resulting,in a combination that would be a win for,shareholders employees and governments,this could mean policies that are aimed,towards sustainable economic and,environmental growth which would benefit,the entire population at Large,Byron ween and Joe zeidel predicted that,the Takeover has a better than 50,likelihood of happening even though most,investors dont think so the strategy,does make a lot of Economic and Business,sense for Tesla as the current companys,market capitalization is about 783,billion dollars however the Takeover,might not be fully optimistic for Elon,Musk as factors such as Teslas share,price especially in circumstances such,as a merger with rival company like GM,play an important factor for investors,to consider ironically in spite of the,positive statistics many consider the,merger of betrayal of Teslas electric,only approach to Mobility but it isnt,just a betrayal that got investors,cautious experts also point out that the,merger of Tesla with GM would also mean,a merger of Teslas Nimble Tech culture,with GM slower and risk averse,Tendencies which once again could be a,hefty and risky investment for Tesla but,Tesla might not have to worry too much,about these negatives as GM likely would,turn down Teslas proposal for a merger,or a takeover,did you know that the Nissan Renault,Alliance and others have already tried,to unsuccessfully have mergers with GM,but this time around the condition might,be slightly dissimilar than the previous,Nissan mergers the GM board would be,legally bound to consider the,possibility to trade GM shares for Tesla,at a premium why,with the company nearing bankruptcy a,combination with Tesla would prove,relatively attractive to Holders of GM,stock lets also not forget that the,latest run-up in GMs price isnt paying,a dividend and the stock has managed,only 46 percent since public in 2010,following bankruptcy reorganization,those statistics are clearly not helpful,to prove that GM is doing better off,without Tesla besides its not just,General Motors that will be benefiting,from a merger both sides potentially,benefit from the merger the Practical,combination of the two companies isnt,too hard to visualize despite their,dissimilar histories and profiles,despite the companys Financial pitfalls,GM has assets that could pay off,instantly for Tesla the company notably,has a worldwide manufacturing and,components infrastructure capable of,building upwards of 8 million Vehicles a,year the automaker isnt all perfect as,they can be heavily criticized for its,slowness to recognize consumer Trends,and its mediocre marketing initiatives,but at the same time no one can fault GM,for its expertise in high quality Swift,Mass manufacture of vehicles thus,merging GM into its operations Tesla,would instantly obtain some of the best,factories in the world and a production,capacity that could instantly Vault it,to the front rank of global automakers,GMs new ultium battery Venture with,South Koreas LG chem is about to supply,the power source for 20 new GM EVS,through 2025.,GMs highly profitable gasoline-powered,trucks and SUVs and the tremendous cash,flow they generate will be around for a,very long time,however the Takeover in spite of proving,to be extremely financially viable might,not happen after all it seems after all,the GM would rather go bankrupt than be,taken over by their biggest rivals just,a few months ago GM went through a,complete restructuring that would,practically result in several North,America plants shutting down Tesla CEO,Elon Musk said that Tesla would consider,buying some of those shuttered factories,musk said that it was happy with the,move the whole point of Tesla is to,accelerate the Advent of electric,vehicles sustainable transport and,trying to help the environment its the,most serious problem that Humanity faces,even back in the days when the news,about the shutting down of GM was news,to the world Elon Musk entered into the,setup and

foreign,guys Switching gears talking to Elon,Musk here hes confirmed that hes going,to step down from the Helm of Twitter,upon finding a new successor and shift,his Focus to the engineering side of the,social media company this comes after,musk posted a poll on Twitter where 57,of respondents voted for him to step,down as the head of a company of the,company Twitter sign on Arnell the hype,machine author and David Austin,professor of management at MIT joins us,now great to have you here with us today,first when you just kind of look back on,of course the very official poll,obviously that one forward over Twitter,and the respondents and ultimately what,Twitter has looked like the the entire,headache that surrounded it since hes,taken over what do you really look at,and extrapolate from this what are we,going to be saying years from now about,this,so the last two times thank you very,much for having me the last two times uh,I was on uh with you guys I predicted,two things first that the deal would go,through and that Twitter uh that Elon,would have an unbelievable difficulty,running Twitter I think I quipped that,its not as easy as colonizing Mars and,I think he found that out extremely fast,um first was the content moderation,decisions uh he basically abandoned,content moderation you saw a lot of,privacy security and safety stuff flee,or be fired this created an,unprecedented rise in hate speech and,misinformation on the heels of that you,saw advertisers fleeing Twitter in the,most recent weeks you saw him Banning,journalists uh first with no reason then,he claimed for doxing him uh with the,promotion of the Elon jet account either,mentioning it or linking to it then,those journalists were restored he then,set a policy that links to competitors,like Mastodon and even you know other,social media sites would be banned which,is clearly anti-competitive then he,reversed that policy and then at the end,of all of this uh chaos he put a poll up,and the overwhelming majority of 57 said,please stop,down you are a complete disaster as CEO,of Twitter and it looks like hes going,to do that this is a great thing he,really had no idea what he was doing,um you know he is obviously a great,entrepreneur hes got uh amazing track,record that Tesla SpaceX and other,companies but this one proved too hard,for him and I think uh well all be,happy to see a new CEO soon well but new,CEO synonym doesnt mean hes actually,leaving the company right hes still,gonna and and weve seen before that,even when sort of personalities like him,step aside it doesnt mean theyre,really stepping aside he said hes still,going to run the software and serve or,part of the business I Im curious if if,Twitters passed the point of no return,in terms of its identity as a social,platform,well two thoughts its really great to,see you,um certainly uh he has a hard time,letting go and he has an even harder,time staying out of the spotlight he,desperately wants to be talked about and,he desperately wants to talk about,himself uh it is uh strange to me to see,such an investment a leveraged,investment into a company and then to,not have a fiduciary responsibility to,have it run properly by somebody uh who,you know would put the priorities of the,company first the second point in my,mind is that yes we are seeing an,unprecedented rise in the competitors to,Twitter is it going to be the same is it,going to be the Town Square or are,people going to flee to Mastodon and,other and post and other types of,Alternatives uh I think well see we,have seen an unprecedented rise in folks,using Mastodon using post especially,Mastodon well see whether,you know Twitter Remains the primary,go-to source of town square conversation,so now if you were named CEO of Twitter,today what would be your first three,moves,you know its funny that you say that,Brian because uh in all confidence I do,know that uh my name has been put,forward for that role uh I doubt that I,would take that role if it was offered,to me,um but uh I would do a couple of things,its not to say that Elon didnt have,some good ideas for Twitter for example,I do think that they could um you know,make more money if they had a,subscription business but they would,have to do it well they would have to do,it such that it wouldnt uh result in a,lack of access for those without means,but you could charge different tiered,accounts that were uh institutional,accounts or bigger accounts or business,accounts you could charge for the blue,check mark like eight dollars as he,suggested but you cant get rid of the,verification step and have anyone who,pays eight dollars be verified that was,a complete disaster you need to maintain,the verification uh so what I would do,is I would uh in immediately investigate,new revenue streams including new,advertising revenue streams new,subscription revenue streams I would,immediately reinvest in content,moderation verification safety security,I would make sure that our privacy Chief,privacy officer our chief security,officer our chief safety officers were,in place had teams that were intact the,content moderation and policies were,consistent intact and being enforced,that would be important to Bringing,advertisers back and then uh I would get,out of the way and stop make making,Twitter about myself I would try to be a,CEO that was running the company not a,CEO that was using the company as my own,personal microphone yeah I dont know,that theres much help of that happening,tonight I I do want to ask you about,some of the competitors that have come,up right theres Mastodon theres post,theres some others out there do any of,them pose a real competitive threat to,Twitter,not currently not currently but that can,change very quickly so as I described in,my book The Hype machine uh this economy,runs on network effects and network,effects build on themselves in other,words when you have unprecedented growth,in a company like you saw with a,Facebook like you saw with Twitter and,other companies Tick Tock most recently,that um that success breeds additional,success and builds on itself and its,very difficult to dislodge a large,company that has very strong Network,effects like these companies do however,the other Dark Side of network effects,is that if the public loses trust these,types of networks are what economists,call Tippy which means that they could,tip completely in the other direction,and you could see a fleeing away from,companies and we have seen exactly this,between Myspace and Facebook uh back in,the,2005-2006 era and we could could see it,again it depends on the policies of the,platform and it depends on the,forward-looking beliefs of the consumers,about which platform is the best place,to be and which one will be the winner,eventually,um sanon um while we have you here to,Bright it out a little bit as we look to,2023 what would be your sort of big,single prediction about social media any,kind of prediction for next year yeah I,think that uh my big prediction for the,coming year with regard to Tech and or,social media is automation automation,Automation and there Im talking about,chat GPT this was a revelation on the,heels of many other such revelations in,what are known as these sort of large,language or large Vision models that are,based on deep learning uh Dali Dali 2,chat GPT all put out by open Ai and,other uh uh you know companies and,consortia what these models do is they,statistically take in large amounts of,data and then they,make inferences about how to answer,questions or complete thoughts or to,write paragraphs and as I showed in my,own Twitter thread you can use chat GPT,to write speeches you can use chat GPT,to Mint cryptocurrencies it even writes,computer code there have been many,comments about how we can no longer tell,what is actually written by a human and,what is not Ive seen people say at how,soon with synthetic Netflix where the,scripts are written by computers and,then the Deep fakes are deep faked,actors acti
