Black Friday coupon code let's get into
the video Elon Musk is apparently losing
his mind again at least according to the
New York Times which had a wonderful
puff piece on sambangman freed for which
I am extremely disappointed in the times
now I am still a New York Times
subscriber and yeah I still read some
stuff in print but in this episode we
don't have to bag on the times we
actually are going to learn a lot of
business lessons and maybe not from Elon
Musk and the madness that's being
reported within Twitter let's get right
into it with my favorite part of this
article and the favorite part of the
article is actually on B3 of the times
and it says here that Elon Musk
apparently when he came in cut off the
corporate credit cards for Twitter
employees
three employees reported this to the
times and one of those three people said
quote
she tried to buy farewell drinks for
colleagues after the mass layoffs only
to have her corporate credit card
declined at the bar
this
is point one for Elon Musk this is
absolutely brilliant in fact I think
corporate credit cards are absolutely
the worst thing that you could have at a
company the best way in my opinion to
make sure that expenses are properly
managed at a company and this by the way
is exactly what we're going to be doing
with house hack when we have real estate
investing company that is fixing up
properties is you have folks spend stuff
on their own credit cards forget about
the points it ain't worth the shrinkage
you're going to be dealing with in the
Lost product you're going to be dealing
with have people if they need to buy
stuff themselves buy it themselves and
then request for reimbursement if an
employee doesn't have enough money then
you give them a small cash account hey
here's 500 bucks make sure at the end of
every month it gets topped off to 500
bucks how do you get reimbursed you
submit the receipts and an explanation
of what the heck you bought with the
money that is how you make sure a
company operates with actually getting
receipts for every expenditure because
think about it the other way
well first remember if an employee is on
the hook for paying off their own credit
card bill they're going to ask for the
reimbursement and guess what they're
going to keep the receipt but if you
have a company credit card and people
are just nah drinks here drinks there
first of all why the hell are they
buying farewell drinks on the company
credit card anyway I don't know I mean
it's one thing if like the boss like
elon's like drinks on everyone right
that's one thing but there's just random
employees swiping the corporate credit
card sounds like total utter
mismanagement first of all but second of
all if an employee swipes a company
credit card guess what oh I lost the
receipt who pays the bill well obviously
the company because otherwise you know
the credit card's not getting paid off
so the company takes the L when the
employee loses the receipt the employee
loses the receipt and it's on their own
credit card
company might still decide to take the L
but that employee is going to be looking
embarrassed as opposed to the
willy-nilly credit card so this is
actually one of those where I like to
say that's actually a good lesson what
else do we have here apparently Elon
Musk took over and refue and and you
have to remember a lot of this is
alleged in the New York Times we don't
know if this is actually true but
I wouldn't put it past Elon
Elon Musk apparently allegedly refused
to reimburse travel vendors for current
bills
that were incurred by current and former
employees musk's staff said the services
were authorized by the companies former
management and not by Elon Musk
therefore they wouldn't be paying and
they started ignoring phone calls from
those companies
this one's a little tough I mean if you
have payables that the company incurred
I don't think it's a good idea to burn
the other relationships that you have
now you can't do business with those
travel companies anymore
ul's probably like that's okay don't
want to do business with them anyway and
I mean they got a lot of crazy
willy-nilly expenses there who knows
maybe those are like
first class or private flights and the
airfare is really insane but that one I
don't know I can't give Elon a point for
that one I'm gonna say that's probably
uh an L uh point for Elon so that puts
us at one point win 1w and and one loss
there for Eli I think that's a bad way
to go about it this one I actually don't
mind as much though and it is the
potential for renegotiating some of the
Twitter leases since they basically
fired 50 to 75 percent of their
Workforce they don't need as many people
anymore around the world but they're
under lease contracts usually commercial
lease Agreements are five to seven years
but if a company's potentially going to
fire bankruptcy or all of a sudden there
are no more employees there and you have
absolutely no use for that company uh
that company property even though
technically you're under a contract
circumstances have changed with such a
an extreme to such an extreme level that
I think
corporate landlords would be wise to
renegotiate something even if it was
something like hey all right fine uh
keep 20 of the office will lease out the
other 80 to somebody else and let's
negotiate your lease down to maybe 30 of
what the previous payments were it's
better than you paying zero and just
giving us the middle finger which is
possible now of course Twitter could get
sued over this but it's not that easy to
sue tenants you have to remember tenants
who are in possession have a lot of
power
and lawsuits in in tenancy Court
business or not tough not a business
expense any landlord wants to incur and
I think a reasonable landlord would
prefer to negotiate something but uh who
knows could be some more legal issues
but you know what I'm sure they've got
plenty of legal staff left over at
Twitter to deal with all the madness hey
I do they have to deal with all the FC
FTC uh investigations as well uh into
into users data right the uh the Federal
Trade Commission and the FCC I think
both of them are involved I'm not
exactly sure which agency it is but one
of them or both of them are
investigating the safeguarding of users
data and this is why you have the Biden
Administration somewhat implying that
hey uh you know don't you have like uh
investors from Saudi Arabia that helped
fund potentially a billion plus dollars
of your Twitter investment and what
access do they have to company data I I
also I think that's kind of a weird
request like if you're an investor from
Saudi Arabia and you're like Elon I want
to invest in your company but I want all
your user data I don't really see Elon
going for that so uh that's not really
for the point score on the lease I'm
gonna give a w to Elon on that one so
I'm gonna say two w Elon one L for w I
definitely don't have to give Elon an L
for his crazy uh like trumpisms now I'm
not trying to bag on Trump here and I'm
also not not trying to bag on Trump here
I think Trump was I think we can all
agree that Trump was a little bit of a
loose cannon with some of the things
that he would say on Twitter and some of
you all argued he was just a loose
cannon with everything but I don't don't
think that if you're a CEO you should
strive to be a loose cannon especially
when you know all of your Madness is
kind of hurting your Twitter and Tesla
shareholders most importantly your Tesla
shareholders and I'm really feeling that
one okay but I gotta give Elon an L for
this
you know when the Associated Press comes
out and says hey you know we interviewed
some people some Online safety experts
and they think you giving amnesty to
suspended accounts who've previously
maybe uh violently threatened people or
or whatever right we think that could
lead to a rise in harassment hate speech
or misinformation now obviously elon's
gonna argue hey is you know as long as
somebody didn't do anything illegal uh
they should come back and and no that's
okay I I can agree with that I guess
threatening to kill somebody would
probably that's probably illegal but
anyway the point is the Associated Press
posted this uh and uh didn't realize
that it was so far out of uh the camera
there for a moment anyway the Associated
Press here you know what we'll do there
salt the Associated Press posted this
here
and uh Elon Musk replies Associated
Press is such an ex expert in
misinformation Twitter couldn't hope to
compete a little rough a little rough
and and I know some of you might be
saying it's true though I get that I I
appreciate that perspective I just don't
think even if it's true it's the best
idea for Elon Musk to be spewing this
kind of stuff because some people are
just going to have this belief of like
Trump's already back and his name is
Elon Musk just kind of spewing uh stuff
uh and in this example here I mean I
look I felt like the media was rigged
against me when I ran for governor in
California and I had journalists come to
me professional journalists who once
whom I've respected and uh and and you
know they're on TV they're still on TV
in California and they've come up to me
at Coffee meetings or otherwise and have
said Kevin
like the corporate side rigged that's
why you don't get as much coverage
running against Gavin Newsom I'm like ah
ah and I'm looking at the wrong camera
again makes sense
I'm messing up camera angles today yeah
whatever anyway uh next one is uh after
our Twitter's contract expired with one
software vendor Elon under Elon musk's
ownership that company voided a discount
it had given to Twitter
I I really doubt Yvonne cares about that
voided discount so we talked about a
credit card thing so we're two for two
two wins two losses
and uh oh yeah here's an interesting one
Elon Musk argued that the company food
cost approximately 400 per lunch served
that's probably because there was a lot
of waste and all the food wasn't
actually being used and the payroll
costs and food costs are really really
high to keep a stocked kitchen imagine
like those cruise ships like how much of
the stuff doesn't get eaten and then
they they I mean they they obviously try
to reuse that stuff and then you know
like oh the beans didn't get used let's
uh turn them into refried beans yeah I
mean like I I don't know if that's
actually what happens but I just imagine
uh musk also issued an order to slow or
in some cases halt transfers of funds to
Twitter's vendors and Contract Services
this is also relating to the travel one
uh oh I'm gonna give him a w by the way
for the cafeteria thing I think cutting
back on that's actually a really good
idea just cut back on some of the perks
get the people out who are only there
for the perks keep the hard workers
rehire good people and then once you're
profitable slowly start reintroducing
perks I actually think that's smart so
that's three Elon two uh W's and and one
L and apparently Twitter's Partnerships
team was also instructed to renegotiate
its multi-year content deals with major
sports entities like one it struck with
the NFL in which the social media
company pays the league to produce
exclusive audio and video content for
its platform
quite interesting okay
then uh you know I think renegotiating
is kind of lumped into some of the other
things I mean we could say that's
another W for Elon so you know give him
four if we'd like uh okay yeah I'll
definitely give him four because they're
also trying to renegotiate deals with
Amazon and Oracle uh who probably would
you know provide some kind of uh
software server uh setup this is um
honestly that's it's there's more W here
than there is L I think some of these
moves are brilliant business lessons uh
remember that it's very very expensive
to have employees and cutting 50 to 75
percent of the employees and the
platforms apparently at least looking
like it's doing fine if not better
God look I've got a lot of respect for
Elon it's doing pretty well you know
keep it up again maybe shut the f up on
on Twitter with with some of the strong
opinions but um
hey there you have it thanks for
watching happy Black Friday and we'll
see in the next one goodbye
