Mag 7 sell-off, Wiz rejects Google, UBI, Kamala in, China's nuclear buildout, Sacks responds to PG

J. Cal, to your question, I think that behind closed doors, these are the sorts of conversations that are going on, that there's a perception, given the Gaza conflict, that there is a risk of having Jewish leadership being put into powerful positions right now, Jewish leaders being put into powerful positions. Wow.

And that's the conversation that I hear going on behind closed doors or I'm hearing about. And so, you know, it's almost like a cancel culture against Jews because of the risk of a Jewish person being in a leadership position that could drive.

Well, the inevitable outcome of identity politics, by giving everyone a definition on their race or their gender or their background or their religion, is that you ultimately end up picking winners and losers. And you don't just get to pick winners. When you make selections or prioritize things based on identity like this, you also de facto pick losers. And that's where this unfortunate...

Parker apparently has done several public interviews where... He kind of made claims, I think, I don't know if I've listened to him, I've just read the summaries, but J. Cal, you probably know that Parker's claimed that he was- He just says you ran a coup on him.

Right, right. Sax, I remember, I will just say, I remember how hard you worked at that after you were in the COO seat and then you were promoted to CEO. And I was really impressed watching it and seeing what you did because you chose to step up and take care of this company at a time where you expressed to all of us privately how hard it was and what a challenge this company had found itself in.

And you had investors that were friends of yours that were involved in the company that were on the board.

And I think you did what felt like at the time, and from my experience interacting with you during the time, the right thing, which was to step up and address this rather than just throw your hands in the air and say, this guy screwed things up or this company screwed up and walk away from it.

You had personally put money in, your friends had put money in, and you worked hard to try and help the business recover after this miserable period of time. And it was really impressive to watch you do that work. So I just want to... highlight my experience watching you and knowing you during that time.

Well, Sachs might like it because it's a bit of an economic story and a bit of a China competitive story, which I think is the main point here. The story is rooted in a paper that was published out of China on their new high temperature gas cooled pebble bed reactor, which is a new type of nuclear reactor technology that shows that this thing cannot melt down, which is an amazing new technology.

But I want to just take a step back and talk about general electricity production in the US versus China and where it's headed. So today the US has roughly one terawatt of total electricity production capacity. China today has about three terawatts of total electricity production capacity. And about 2% to 3% of that is nuclear today for China.
