My top picks
Tesla has finally announced the Cybertruck. This article [The Washington Post] will give you an overview of what you need to know about this launch. While there have been numerous promotional videos showcasing the Cybertruck's impressive capabilities, I strongly recommend watching this particular video [Elon Musk on X], where the Cybertruck's speed is compared to that of a Porsche 911.
Netflix launched in 2019 a series about Bill Gates. It’s incredible the way Bill Gates approaches worldwide problems and how he synthesizes information.
Marc Benioff, Salesforce CEO, talks about AI, San Francisco, philanthropy, etc. in this 20VC podcast episode [20VC]. The podcast is 25 minutes long and it’s definitely worth it.
Goldman Sachs and Apple are getting a “divorce” in their consumer lending products. Goldman Sachs will no longer have any consumer products available, which differs with Goldman’s expectations back in 2021. I’d recommend you to read A Divorce With Apple, Internal Strife: How Goldman’s Main Street Bet Failed [Wall Street Journal]
