Bloomberg Tech
Nvidia Wins US Approval to Sell H200 Chips to China

I bought it.

Bloomberg Tech
Nvidia Wins US Approval to Sell H200 Chips to China

Yeah, I bought it recently because, you know, several of the people I know in Hollywood are extremely bullish on Ellison.

And so I bought it recently.

Bloomberg Tech

But when the deal started and it turned into a bidding war, Warner isn't worth even close to $30.

Bloomberg Tech

So everybody's overpaying for this asset right now.

Bloomberg Tech

because it's so rare.

Bloomberg Tech
Nvidia Wins US Approval to Sell H200 Chips to China

But what I fear and why I immediately turned around and sold the stock is they're going to end up overpaying for this asset.

Bloomberg Tech

And Warner's been an albatross on every company that's ever owned it.

Bloomberg Tech
Nvidia Wins US Approval to Sell H200 Chips to China

I've known Warner since the days from the early days.

Bloomberg Tech
Nvidia Wins US Approval to Sell H200 Chips to China

Nobody's ever made money owning Warner.

Bloomberg Tech

So why do you think Netflix is just good buying the bits of it that it should?

Bloomberg Tech

Do you not like that?

Bloomberg Tech

What about Paramount, Skydance wanting the whole caboodle?

Bloomberg Tech
Nvidia Wins US Approval to Sell H200 Chips to China

Is two to three dollars the right amount they should be forced to pay to inherit the cables as well?

Bloomberg Tech
Nvidia Wins US Approval to Sell H200 Chips to China

Well, the cable assets, by keeping it, is really a power play because they want to take control of CNN.

Bloomberg Tech

So it's a way for the right to take control of CNN.

Bloomberg Tech

And it really has nothing to do with any value because cable assets are being spun off, for example, with Comcast.

Bloomberg Tech
Nvidia Wins US Approval to Sell H200 Chips to China

And I think Disney needs to do the same thing because cable is a dying business and the numbers go down.

Bloomberg Tech
Nvidia Wins US Approval to Sell H200 Chips to China

So when you think about why would they really want this, that's just politics.

Bloomberg Tech
Nvidia Wins US Approval to Sell H200 Chips to China

And that's, I think, a big issue in this deal that people in Hollywood who are generally on the left, including Netflix, don't want the right to get a hold of these assets.
