Black Friday coupon code let's get into

0:42

the video Elon Musk is apparently losing

0:44

his mind again at least according to the

0:46

New York Times which had a wonderful

0:47

puff piece on sambangman freed for which

0:50

I am extremely disappointed in the times

0:52

now I am still a New York Times

0:54

subscriber and yeah I still read some

0:57

stuff in print but in this episode we

1:00

don't have to bag on the times we

1:02

actually are going to learn a lot of

1:04

business lessons and maybe not from Elon

1:08

Musk and the madness that's being

1:10

reported within Twitter let's get right

1:14

into it with my favorite part of this

1:17

article and the favorite part of the

1:19

article is actually on B3 of the times

1:22

and it says here that Elon Musk

1:26

apparently when he came in cut off the

1:30

corporate credit cards for Twitter

1:32

employees

1:33

three employees reported this to the

1:36

times and one of those three people said

1:38

quote

1:39

she tried to buy farewell drinks for

1:43

colleagues after the mass layoffs only

1:46

to have her corporate credit card

1:47

declined at the bar

1:50

this

1:51

is point one for Elon Musk this is

1:53

absolutely brilliant in fact I think

1:56

corporate credit cards are absolutely

1:58

the worst thing that you could have at a

2:01

company the best way in my opinion to

2:05

make sure that expenses are properly

2:07

managed at a company and this by the way

2:09

is exactly what we're going to be doing

2:11

with house hack when we have real estate

2:13

investing company that is fixing up

2:16

properties is you have folks spend stuff

2:20

on their own credit cards forget about

2:22

the points it ain't worth the shrinkage

2:24

you're going to be dealing with in the

2:26

Lost product you're going to be dealing

2:28

with have people if they need to buy

2:30

stuff themselves buy it themselves and

2:33

then request for reimbursement if an

2:36

employee doesn't have enough money then

2:38

you give them a small cash account hey

2:40

here's 500 bucks make sure at the end of

2:43

every month it gets topped off to 500

2:44

bucks how do you get reimbursed you

2:46

submit the receipts and an explanation

2:49

of what the heck you bought with the

2:51

money that is how you make sure a

2:54

company operates with actually getting

2:56

receipts for every expenditure because

2:58

think about it the other way

3:00

well first remember if an employee is on

3:03

the hook for paying off their own credit

3:04

card bill they're going to ask for the

3:06

reimbursement and guess what they're

3:07

going to keep the receipt but if you

3:09

have a company credit card and people

3:11

are just nah drinks here drinks there

3:13

first of all why the hell are they

3:14

buying farewell drinks on the company

3:15

credit card anyway I don't know I mean

3:17

it's one thing if like the boss like

3:19

elon's like drinks on everyone right

3:21

that's one thing but there's just random

3:23

employees swiping the corporate credit

3:24

card sounds like total utter

3:26

mismanagement first of all but second of

3:28

all if an employee swipes a company

3:30

credit card guess what oh I lost the

3:33

receipt who pays the bill well obviously

3:35

the company because otherwise you know

3:37

the credit card's not getting paid off

3:38

so the company takes the L when the

3:40

employee loses the receipt the employee

3:42

loses the receipt and it's on their own

3:44

credit card

3:46

company might still decide to take the L

3:48

but that employee is going to be looking

3:50

embarrassed as opposed to the

3:51

willy-nilly credit card so this is

3:53

actually one of those where I like to

3:55

say that's actually a good lesson what

3:57

else do we have here apparently Elon

4:00

Musk took over and refue and and you

4:02

have to remember a lot of this is

4:04

alleged in the New York Times we don't

4:05

know if this is actually true but

4:08

I wouldn't put it past Elon

4:10

Elon Musk apparently allegedly refused

4:13

to reimburse travel vendors for current

4:16

bills

4:18

that were incurred by current and former

4:20

employees musk's staff said the services

4:24

were authorized by the companies former

4:27

management and not by Elon Musk

4:29

therefore they wouldn't be paying and

4:31

they started ignoring phone calls from

4:33

those companies

4:35

this one's a little tough I mean if you

4:38

have payables that the company incurred

4:40

I don't think it's a good idea to burn

4:42

the other relationships that you have

4:44

now you can't do business with those

4:45

travel companies anymore

4:47

ul's probably like that's okay don't

4:49

want to do business with them anyway and

4:51

I mean they got a lot of crazy

4:52

willy-nilly expenses there who knows

4:54

maybe those are like

4:55

first class or private flights and the

4:58

airfare is really insane but that one I

5:01

don't know I can't give Elon a point for

5:04

that one I'm gonna say that's probably

5:06

uh an L uh point for Elon so that puts

5:10

us at one point win 1w and and one loss

5:14

there for Eli I think that's a bad way

5:16

to go about it this one I actually don't

5:18

mind as much though and it is the

5:20

potential for renegotiating some of the

5:23

Twitter leases since they basically

5:25

fired 50 to 75 percent of their

5:27

Workforce they don't need as many people

5:29

anymore around the world but they're

5:31

under lease contracts usually commercial

5:33

lease Agreements are five to seven years

5:35

but if a company's potentially going to

5:38

fire bankruptcy or all of a sudden there

5:40

are no more employees there and you have

5:42

absolutely no use for that company uh

5:44

that company property even though

5:46

technically you're under a contract

5:49

circumstances have changed with such a

5:52

an extreme to such an extreme level that

5:55

I think

5:56

corporate landlords would be wise to

5:58

renegotiate something even if it was

6:00

something like hey all right fine uh

6:03

keep 20 of the office will lease out the

6:06

other 80 to somebody else and let's

6:08

negotiate your lease down to maybe 30 of

6:10

what the previous payments were it's

6:12

better than you paying zero and just

6:13

giving us the middle finger which is

6:16

possible now of course Twitter could get

6:18

sued over this but it's not that easy to

6:21

sue tenants you have to remember tenants

6:23

who are in possession have a lot of

6:25

power

6:26

and lawsuits in in tenancy Court

6:30

business or not tough not a business

6:33

expense any landlord wants to incur and

6:35

I think a reasonable landlord would

6:36

prefer to negotiate something but uh who

6:39

knows could be some more legal issues

6:40

but you know what I'm sure they've got

6:41

plenty of legal staff left over at

6:43

Twitter to deal with all the madness hey

6:44

I do they have to deal with all the FC

6:46

FTC uh investigations as well uh into

6:49

into users data right the uh the Federal

6:53

Trade Commission and the FCC I think

6:55

both of them are involved I'm not

6:56

exactly sure which agency it is but one

6:59

of them or both of them are

7:00

investigating the safeguarding of users

7:02

data and this is why you have the Biden

7:05

Administration somewhat implying that

7:07

hey uh you know don't you have like uh

7:09

investors from Saudi Arabia that helped

7:13

fund potentially a billion plus dollars

7:15

of your Twitter investment and what

7:17

access do they have to company data I I

7:21

also I think that's kind of a weird

7:22

request like if you're an investor from

7:25

Saudi Arabia and you're like Elon I want

7:26

to invest in your company but I want all

7:28

your user data I don't really see Elon

7:31

going for that so uh that's not really

7:34

for the point score on the lease I'm

7:36

gonna give a w to Elon on that one so

7:38

I'm gonna say two w Elon one L for w I

7:42

definitely don't have to give Elon an L

7:44

for his crazy uh like trumpisms now I'm

7:50

not trying to bag on Trump here and I'm

7:52

also not not trying to bag on Trump here

7:55

I think Trump was I think we can all

7:57

agree that Trump was a little bit of a

7:59

loose cannon with some of the things

8:00

that he would say on Twitter and some of

8:02

you all argued he was just a loose

8:04

cannon with everything but I don't don't

8:06

think that if you're a CEO you should

8:08

strive to be a loose cannon especially

8:11

when you know all of your Madness is

8:13

kind of hurting your Twitter and Tesla

8:15

shareholders most importantly your Tesla

8:17

shareholders and I'm really feeling that

8:19

one okay but I gotta give Elon an L for

8:22

this

8:23

you know when the Associated Press comes

8:25

out and says hey you know we interviewed

8:27

some people some Online safety experts

8:29

and they think you giving amnesty to

8:32

suspended accounts who've previously

8:34

maybe uh violently threatened people or

8:37

or whatever right we think that could

8:40

lead to a rise in harassment hate speech

8:42

or misinformation now obviously elon's

8:44

gonna argue hey is you know as long as

8:45

somebody didn't do anything illegal uh

8:48

they should come back and and no that's

8:50

okay I I can agree with that I guess

8:53

threatening to kill somebody would

8:54

probably that's probably illegal but

8:56

anyway the point is the Associated Press

8:58

posted this uh and uh didn't realize

9:02

that it was so far out of uh the camera

9:05

there for a moment anyway the Associated

9:07

Press here you know what we'll do there

9:09

salt the Associated Press posted this

9:12

here

9:13

and uh Elon Musk replies Associated

9:17

Press is such an ex expert in

9:19

misinformation Twitter couldn't hope to

9:22

compete a little rough a little rough

9:25

and and I know some of you might be

9:26

saying it's true though I get that I I

9:29

appreciate that perspective I just don't

9:32

think even if it's true it's the best

9:36

idea for Elon Musk to be spewing this

9:38

kind of stuff because some people are

9:40

just going to have this belief of like

9:41

Trump's already back and his name is

9:44

Elon Musk just kind of spewing uh stuff

9:47

uh and in this example here I mean I

9:49

look I felt like the media was rigged

9:51

against me when I ran for governor in

9:53

California and I had journalists come to

9:55

me professional journalists who once

9:57

whom I've respected and uh and and you

9:59

know they're on TV they're still on TV

10:01

in California and they've come up to me

10:03

at Coffee meetings or otherwise and have

10:06

said Kevin

10:07

like the corporate side rigged that's

10:10

why you don't get as much coverage

10:12

running against Gavin Newsom I'm like ah

10:14

ah and I'm looking at the wrong camera

10:16

again makes sense

10:18

I'm messing up camera angles today yeah

10:20

whatever anyway uh next one is uh after

10:24

our Twitter's contract expired with one

10:28

software vendor Elon under Elon musk's

10:31

ownership that company voided a discount

10:33

it had given to Twitter

10:35

I I really doubt Yvonne cares about that

10:37

voided discount so we talked about a

10:39

credit card thing so we're two for two

10:40

two wins two losses

10:43

and uh oh yeah here's an interesting one

10:46

Elon Musk argued that the company food

10:49

cost approximately 400 per lunch served

10:52

that's probably because there was a lot

10:55

of waste and all the food wasn't

10:56

actually being used and the payroll

10:58

costs and food costs are really really

10:59

high to keep a stocked kitchen imagine

11:01

like those cruise ships like how much of

11:04

the stuff doesn't get eaten and then

11:05

they they I mean they they obviously try

11:07

to reuse that stuff and then you know

11:08

like oh the beans didn't get used let's

11:10

uh turn them into refried beans yeah I

11:12

mean like I I don't know if that's

11:14

actually what happens but I just imagine

11:16

uh musk also issued an order to slow or

11:20

in some cases halt transfers of funds to

11:22

Twitter's vendors and Contract Services

11:24

this is also relating to the travel one

11:26

uh oh I'm gonna give him a w by the way

11:28

for the cafeteria thing I think cutting

11:30

back on that's actually a really good

11:31

idea just cut back on some of the perks

11:33

get the people out who are only there

11:35

for the perks keep the hard workers

11:36

rehire good people and then once you're

11:39

profitable slowly start reintroducing

11:40

perks I actually think that's smart so

11:42

that's three Elon two uh W's and and one

11:45

L and apparently Twitter's Partnerships

11:48

team was also instructed to renegotiate

11:50

its multi-year content deals with major

11:52

sports entities like one it struck with

11:55

the NFL in which the social media

11:56

company pays the league to produce

11:58

exclusive audio and video content for

12:00

its platform

12:01

quite interesting okay

12:04

then uh you know I think renegotiating

12:07

is kind of lumped into some of the other

12:08

things I mean we could say that's

12:09

another W for Elon so you know give him

12:12

four if we'd like uh okay yeah I'll

12:14

definitely give him four because they're

12:15

also trying to renegotiate deals with

12:16

Amazon and Oracle uh who probably would

12:19

you know provide some kind of uh

12:20

software server uh setup this is um

12:25

honestly that's it's there's more W here

12:28

than there is L I think some of these

12:31

moves are brilliant business lessons uh

12:33

remember that it's very very expensive

12:35

to have employees and cutting 50 to 75

12:38

percent of the employees and the

12:40

platforms apparently at least looking

12:42

like it's doing fine if not better

12:45

God look I've got a lot of respect for

12:48

Elon it's doing pretty well you know

12:50

keep it up again maybe shut the f up on

12:53

on Twitter with with some of the strong

12:54

opinions but um

12:57

hey there you have it thanks for

12:59

watching happy Black Friday and we'll

13:00

see in the next one goodbye
