The US Committee on Foreign Investment has decided for now not to investigate his Twitter purchase, in spite of initial concerns about the level of investment from Saudi Arabian China. Mark Andreessen, who's fund put $400 million in of equity backing the deal reportedly hates. Then again, he won his two legal victories. A federal jury ruled in his favor that a lawsuit over his funding secured tweet. The upshot was that he shouldn't be taken literally on Twitter.
Kara and Scott discuss Google's newest effort to compete with ChatGPT, the Koch network's anti-Trump efforts, and the latest on Elon Musk’s many legal battles. Plus, of course, the fallout from the Chinese balloon. Then, they’re joined by Friend of Pivot, Jerry Saltz to discuss the state of art world.
You can find Jerry on Twitter at @jerrysaltz and can get his book here.
