What are Trump's confusing statements on Iran?
Support for the show comes from Retool. Too many companies run critical operations on duct tape spreadsheets, Slack workflows, and whatever else they could cobble together. Not because they want to, because building internal tools means weeks of waiting on someone else's backlog. That's where Retool comes in. Build custom internal tools just by describing what you need. Prompt something like build me a revenue dashboard for our Salesforce data. And Retool actually built it on your company's data in your cloud with enterprise security built in. go to retool.com slash pivot. We all need to retool how we build software.

Support for this show comes from MongoDB.
If you're a developer stuck fixing bottlenecks instead of building the next big thing, then you need MongoDB.
Mongo is the flexible, unified platform that gets out of your way.
How is the U.S. involved in a potential quagmire in Iran?
It's ACID-compliant, enterprise-ready, and built to ship AI apps fast. And it's trusted by so many of the Fortune 500 with their most critical workloads.
Developers have a word for that kind of reliability. Actually, five words. It's a great fucking database. Start building at mongodb.com slash build.
He's got to, I'm going to tell him he can't talk that much. He's got to limit his talking. Hi, everyone. This is Pivot from New York Magazine and the Vox Media Podcast Network. I'm Kara Swisher.
And I'm Scott Calloway.
Scott, I have officially left your apartment in New York State.
Oh, you moved into your new place.
Yes, I bought a small apartment in Brooklyn, in Park Slope.
In Brooklyn, where all the cool kids are.
I have to say, I enjoyed it. We went this weekend. We went to Ikea for 17 hours, which was fun, actually. Bought a range of inexpensive furniture, and it's very lovely, actually.
What are Elon Musk's plans for the SpaceX IPO?
It's very nice. I miss you, but I have to move on. Our housing relationship.
So do you know how many times I've been to Brooklyn in 25 years?
How many?
Twice, both times to go to the Soho House there. There's no reason to ever leave the island unless you're going to JFK or LaGuardia.
Okay. We're very well known in Park Slope. I can tell you that. I got stopped.
Oh, I don't doubt it. It was crazy. You're like royalty in Brooklyn. Jesus Christ. I can't even imagine. Hi, Kara. Welcome to Brooklyn.
I know. That's exactly what happened.
How could the SpaceX IPO impact Musk's wealth?
Two other things, let me just say. Two other phenomena. So I have all these books that I get for my podcast, and probably you do too, right? I cannot get rid of them here. I put them out on the stoop in Brooklyn. They were gone. Like, I have to say, I get all these free books, and they're good books, and they're all interesting, but I like the whole... culture of people walking by and taking things and giving away things. It's really nice. And so we are now officially semi, not, we don't live there, but it's nice. And anyone can stay. All you listeners can stay at my Brooklyn place. No, you can stay. I extend an invitation to you, Scott Galloway.
Yeah, it's going to happen.
It's going to happen because it has IKEA furniture. That's why.
You went to IKEA. Yeah, I love IKEA. Why do you like IKEA?
What legal victory did Anthropic achieve against the Pentagon?
Because actually, it's perfectly nice stuff. If you get the slightly more expensive stuff there, it's fine. I have really nice furniture in where I live and I just don't need more furniture.
When I was there, the IKEA sales lady wanted to have sex with me, but all I wanted was one night stand.
I don't believe you have an Ikea joke at the ready. I have to say, Ikea works really well. It's in Red Hook, and it was nice. The kids have a good time.
