Bloomberg Talks
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

So I think in tandem, that's the only number that sticks out that they didn't beat by a decent amount.

Bloomberg Talks
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

I think the question I have is, you know, there's a big number that, you know, that 690, 600 plus billion RPO you mentioned.

Bloomberg Talks

There is a large portion of that comes from OpenAI.

Bloomberg Talks
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

So the big question is, you know, how is OpenAI going to fund this thing?

Bloomberg Talks
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

Do they have the capital to actually fund, let's say, a 200 plus billion dollar commitment?

Bloomberg Talks

But other than that, what are other clients spending that are not open AI?

Bloomberg Talks

And, you know, how is that business going?

Bloomberg Talks
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

And if that wasn't the case, how should we look at Azure growth in the coming quarters?

Bloomberg Talks
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

I think those are the big questions that we need answered right now.

Bloomberg Talks
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

Oh, actually, I mean, to be very honest, right now, the entire software sector has been absolute under threat because of a lot of what you are mentioning, whether it's cloud or whether it's open AI tools or whether it's open source.

Bloomberg Talks

I mean, look at the valuations of software companies.

Bloomberg Talks
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

They've been completely destroyed over the last six to nine months.

Bloomberg Talks
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

And a large portion of that is driven by what you just said.

Bloomberg Talks
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

So we are absolutely in flux right now as to who will own the final product.

Bloomberg Talks
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

And that's partially the reason when you have these valuations go all over the place.

Bloomberg Talks
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

But I would comfortably say when it comes to somebody like a Microsoft's cloud portfolio or Amazon's cloud portfolio or Google's cloud revenue, I think these three companies will dictate a large portion of that market share

Bloomberg Talks
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

just because they have the capital to do it, they have massive market shares, and they have also the distribution.

Bloomberg Talks
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

So these three, I think, will remain the way it is.

Bloomberg Talks
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

The rest of the industry will shift around.

We still think software has a place in this world, and there will be some damage, but it's not going to get completely blown up.
