Surprised by anything from Mark Zuckerberg's leaked internal Facebook meetings?
Yes. I'm surprised that they leaked. He's been doing these for years, talking to his staffers, and the full audio has never leaked before. Secondly, I'm surprised by how specific he was in his denunciation of Elizabeth Warren's antitrust plan. He must know lots of his employees' support Elizabeth Warren and yet he went very hard at her.
What does WeWork's botched IPO mean for other Silicon Valley startups?
Not that much. As I've said multiple times in these recordings, WeWork was basically vaporware. It is a company that rented out commercial real estate at a loss, called itself a tech company and then later an enlightenment company. It was kind of a scam and they got called out. So it does mean that other Silicon Valley companies running similar scams are in trouble, but the others will be fine.
Drone delivery. How long before it becomes everywhere?
