Topics
Kara Swisher: 我关注的是埃隆·马斯克的商业帝国,特别是特斯拉和SpaceX的困境。特斯拉的销售和股价下跌,公司面临现金流问题。SpaceX的星舰火箭测试失败,也暴露出风险。此外,我还关注了特朗普的加密货币峰会,以及他计划建立比特币储备的政策。最后,我还关注了IPO市场的低迷,以及未来是否有大型公司上市。 我认为马斯克的政治举动对他的商业帝国产生了负面影响,因为他的政治立场激怒了一部分潜在客户,导致特斯拉的销售额下降。此外,政府对马斯克公司的调查也增加了他的商业风险。 至于特朗普的加密货币政策,我认为建立比特币储备是毫无意义的,这是一种政治策略,而非经济策略。这不仅没有战略意义,反而会损害美元的全球储备货币地位。 最后,IPO市场的低迷是结构性的问题,而不是周期性的问题。由于监管和私募市场的竞争,大型公司更倾向于保持私有状态,这导致了IPO市场的萎缩。 Scott Galloway: 我同意卡拉的观点,埃隆·马斯克的政治举动对他的商业帝国产生了负面影响。特斯拉的估值过高,销售额下降,政治立场激怒了一部分客户,这些都对特斯拉的未来发展构成威胁。 SpaceX的价值主张在于其能够承担比政府更高的风险,这使得它能够以更低的成本将货物送入太空。但是,随着竞争对手的出现,SpaceX也面临着越来越大的压力。 特朗普的加密货币政策是纯粹的政治交易,没有任何战略意义。建立比特币储备只会损害美元的全球储备货币地位。 IPO市场的低迷是由于私募市场的崛起和监管的加强,导致大型公司更倾向于保持私有状态。这不仅会损害零售投资者的利益,也会导致经济发展的不平衡。
