In this episode, the hosts Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings discuss the recent behavior of Elon Musk and draw comparisons to Kanye West. They begin by acknowledging that Elon Musk is currently in a manic state, as evidenced by his erratic patterns of behavior and controversial tweets. Despite his status as the second richest person in the world and one of the most powerful individuals, he seems to be unraveling before our eyes. This raises concerns because someone in such a position of power and influence should ideally be mentally stable.The hosts then delve into the similarities they see between Elon Musk and Kanye West. They describe both individuals as brilliant, creative thinkers who think outside the box and don't care what others think of them. However, they also note the manic movements and erratic behavior displayed by both men. They express their belief that neither of them is mentally stable and highlight the parallels in their behaviors.The discussion then shifts to the impact of Elon Musk's actions on Tesla's stock. The hosts note that his behavior has significantly affected the stock, leading to fluctuations and potential consequences for the company. They speculate on what could happen if Musk's behavior continues to negatively impact the stock. While acknowledging that he has the ability to say whatever he wants without facing any repercussions, they also emphasize the importance of having capital and the ability to do what one wants without consequences.The hosts bring up the tweet that caused significant damage and resulted in the cancelation of sponsorships for Musk. They also remark on the lack of accountability he faces despite making controversial statements. They attribute this to his immense wealth, power, and influence. Drawing a parallel to Donald Trump, they highlight the ability of certain individuals with money and influence to get away with saying almost anything without facing significant consequences.The conversation concludes with a discussion on Tesla's shareholders and the potential consequences they could impose if they become unhappy with Musk's commentary. The hosts explain the importance for entrepreneurs to maintain majority control of their businesses to avoid being ousted by unhappy shareholders. They also touch upon the structure of Tesla's board and how it plays a role in decision-making and potential changes.In summary, this episode of MM Medium focuses on Elon Musk's recent behavior, drawing comparisons to Kanye West and highlighting the potential consequences for Tesla and its shareholders.

In this episode of MM Medium, the EYL team discusses the future of the tech market and makes predictions for 2024. Hosts Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings share their insights and opinions on the potential boom in the tech sector.Ian starts off by mentioning Meta, formerly known as Facebook. He believes that Meta will have an amazing year and is being overlooked in the augmented reality (AR) race. He expects Meta to make adjustments and show some innovation. Alongside Meta, he predicts that Apple and Google, known as the big Five, will also have a great year. Ian also mentions Nvidia as a company that will likely drag the market up, while hoping that AMD, another tech company, will come out of its slumber.Troy raises an important concern about continuous layoffs in the tech sector. He mentions the battle between automation and human skills as AI becomes more prevalent in business models. Troy predicts that more layoffs will happen, leading to more profit for tech companies, but also higher unemployment rates. This can potentially help bring down inflation numbers, but he acknowledges that it is an unfortunate series of events.Ian agrees with Troy and believes that more people will unfortunately be laid off. He mentions that we are entering an era where the economy will be rougher, but the stock market environment will be better as a result. He explains that when more people are laid off, companies have more capital available, which increases their profit margins. Ian gives the example of Nvidia, a tech stock with a high profit margin of 57%, surpassing even the profit margins of the drug business.The hosts then discuss the definition of a recession and its potential occurrence in 2024. Troy raises the question of which definition of recession they are referring to, as different metrics may not align. Ian adds that the rules for defining a recession seem to be changing, comparing it to changing the rules in a basketball game.Rashad brings up the upcoming election in 2024 and believes that the government will do everything possible to avoid a recession. He emphasizes the importance of keeping the boat afloat during an election year and expects a lot of money to be thrown at the economy through stimulus measures.The conversation concludes with Rashad mentioning an article that suggests Apple might be the catalyst for a tech bull market. Ian adds a shoutout to Tim Cook and the Apple team, expressing his belief that the rich will only get richer in this scenario.In the YouTube description, we can include related hashtags such as #techmarket, #predictions, #futuretech, #economy, #electionyear, #stocks, and #recession.

Isaac Hayes III, the founder of Fanbase, discusses the exit strategy from day one, which includes either being acquired or going public. He draws parallels to Elon Musk's approach with Twitter, and emphasizes the importance of providing investors with a great return.Isaac Hayes III explains the concept of acquisition and IPO, highlighting the opportunity for investors to cash in when a company is bought at a higher valuation. He uses the example of a $5,000 investment in Uber turning into $24 million upon the company's public offering.

He mentions that even Netflix, with its market cap of $800 billion, has only reached 240 million subscribers out of the 6 billion smartphone users worldwide. He emphasizes that Fanbase is built for the future, allowing multiple subscriptions and offering content creators control over their revenue and the lion's share of the earnings.The conversation also touches on the challenges faced by black content creators on platforms like TikTok, where algorithms and biases can limit their reach.
