Scott Galloway and Ed Elson unpack reports that Meta is launching a cloud
business and explain why they see it as a bearish signal. They also discuss why
they don’t think there’s any justification for a government bailout of OpenAI.
Then, they break down why the new Trump accounts are a step in the right
direction, but argue that reducing inequality shouldn't depend on the generosity
of billionaires. Finally, Scott explains the investment thesis behind his
bullish call on the Bending Spoons IPO and why he decided to invest in the
company.
