This week's number, 31.
That's the number of Abrams tanks the U.S. is sending to Ukraine.
History teaches us appeasement does not work. The best way to end a war is to win it. Welcome to PropG Markets.
Today, we're discussing Tesla's earnings, Chevron's share buybacks, and Elliot's activist stake in Salesforce.
Here with the news is PropG Media Analyst, Ed Elson.
Ed, what is going on?
I was just talking to our producers, Scott, and they told me that you've come up with this new business strategy.
Apparently, if we want to beat CNBC, ProfitG Media employees need to become, quote, more freaky.
That's right.
Could you elaborate on that?
All strategy comes down to answering one question.
What can we do that is really, really hard, right?
We want to find something we can do well that is really hard for other people.
And what I think about is I think of CNBC as not as much our competition, but an aspirational goal.
I actually like CNBC.
I learn a lot there.
But what we want to do is we want to go places that CNBC can't. And what can we do? We
can be more honest and more transparent and more educational. That's not the business they're in.
I like that.
We can be more crisp. They've got to fill 12 or 14 hours of programming a day, which means if you
watch CNBC long enough, you're going to have people come on and contradict someone exactly three hours before that. They have to be somewhat
sanitized or starched. And that is, I like it when we're offbeat, off color, provocative,
crazy. So we want to do things like, I think the idea, I'm like, at the end of the show,
we should do karaoke to an 80s song. The bottom line is, my charge to you and the rest of the
team is we need to let our freak flag fly. It's a strange managerial decision, to an 80s song. The bottom line is, my charge to you and the rest of the team
is we need to let
our freak flag fly.
It's a strange managerial decision,
but we can do it.
Good.
All right, get to the news.
Let's start with our weekly review
of market vitals.
The S&P 500 climbed
on reassuring economic data.
The dollar was stable. Bitcoin reached above
23,000. I'm shocked by that. And the yield on 10-year treasuries fell. Shifting to the headlines,
the US economy grew at a higher than expected 2.9% rate for the fourth quarter as measured by GDP.
That's still a slowdown from the third quarter's 3.2% rate, and year over year, growth
was just 1%. The Department of Justice filed an antitrust lawsuit against Google, alleging it's
abusing its dominance over digital advertising. If it goes through, Google could be forced to
sell parts of its ad business, which accounts for roughly 80% of its revenue. Hindenburg Research,
which famously exposed and shorted the fraudulent car
company Nikola, we had an unpack about that a few months ago, Hindenburg has shorted Adani Group,
accusing the conglomerate of stock manipulation and accounting fraud. Almost immediately,
Adani's companies lost $12 billion in market value. And finally, Ken Griffin's Citadel posted a record $16 billion in profit for 2022.
That makes Citadel the best performing hedge fund in history in terms of overall net gains.
And for context, this year, the top 20 hedge funds posted $22.4 billion in profits combined.
Scott, do you have any thoughts here? The DOJ's antitrust suit against Google,
I hope it goes through.
I feel like it's groundhog decade.
We've been talking about this forever.
I think what's going on at Hindenburg Research, kind of calling out some of these companies
and doing the work and saying this doesn't make any sense.
I think it's capitalism at its best where someone gets economic motivation to basically
call a spade a spade. I love this stuff. I think it's
really interesting. Ken Griffin Citadel, $16 billion in profit in 2022, a year that I would
bet the majority of alternative investment funds lost money. 2022 was, I think, the eighth worst
year for the market on record. What strikes me is that the most profitable artificial intelligence
firm in history so far is, in fact, Citadel.
Because if you look at Citadel's competitive advantage, they've taken 200 plus disparate data sets, whether it's LinkedIn data or investors at Robinhood who are retail investors are buying
this way at this volume across this type of stock, it usually indicates that the stock is about to do
X and they can trade against that or create alpha there. And they have a massive number of inputs
and they have speed, they've built all sorts of models and all sorts of infrastructure.
And I think it's effectively their predictive models or their AI, if you will, that has resulted in a hedge fund that has
had unparalleled performance. And I wonder if the advances in AI are going to democratize it
and you're going to see sort of a leveling of the playing field, if you will.
Yeah, it's so interesting because when I was reading these headlines,
they were reporting that Citadel is the greatest hedge fund ever. And I'd always thought of Citadel as a market maker. I didn't think of it as a hedge fund.
And then as I looked into it, what they're actually saying is the hedge fund arm of Citadel
is what has returned $16 billion in profit for 2022. The market making operation is a completely
different business. And then the other thing that's crazy is how much this benefits
Ken Griffin, because Ken Griffin owns 80% of that company. And we talk about Bezos and Elon
and their net worth going up by 5 to 10 billion at swings at a time. Ken Griffin, if he owns 80%
of the company and he's taking a, let's just call it a 20% carry of that 16, he made $3 billion in cash last year, which no one else is doing.
So my takeaway from this is, bravo, Ken Griffin. Tesla reported record revenue and record profit in fourth quarter earnings last week. Revenue
came in at $24 billion, that's up 37% from the year before. And profit was $3.7 billion,
that's up 59% from last year. These results are coming after the company cut prices to
stoke demand in January. And now,
according to Elon Musk, Tesla is, quote, seeing orders at almost twice the rate of production.
Tesla shares rose 5% in after hours trading, but the stock is still down 48% from a year ago.
Scott, one of your predictions for 2023 was that Tesla would post record revenue, check, but
also that Tesla's stock would get cut in half.
You made that prediction in November.
It's down around 15% from then.
It was down more before, but it's sort of bounced back in the last month or so.
Do you still believe that your prediction is going to come true?
This is a great earnings report.
You got to give the company its due. The only thing that was
not ideal was the gross margins on the car are at 24% versus 26% expected. And that's a function of
them lowering prices. That's just simple competitive pressure. There's just more
cars to choose from. They needed to move cars off the lot. I think it was the first time they
ever actually had to offer discounts, but their margins are now off 10% from 27% in Q4 of 2021 down to 24%.
And I think that's going to be one way. I don't think they're going to recover as there's more
and more competition. But their revenues year on year are up 51%. That's incredible. Net income,
almost $14 billion, which has doubled. And keep in mind, they only went profitable in 2020. So in the last 12 months,
Tesla is earning more profits than General Motors, which is just striking. And it's a function of
its brand, and it's more of a software company, people would argue, than a manufacturing company.
So those margins are especially impressive. So growth plus better margins equals just
better market capitalization and better EBITDA. I would argue that something we do as investors that is not a good idea is that we anchor off
of history. And that is, you got to look at a stock where it's trading right now and where it
has been really doesn't make a lot of difference over the long term. And if you look at Tesla
right now, if you look at its multiples, you look at its multiple on revenues, its multiple on earnings, it's just still trading at just an enormous premium to the rest of the market.
Yeah, true, it's been cut in half, but it's still crazy expensive.
Yeah, let me just take us through the multiples right now. Price-to-earnings ratio for Mercedes, 5.6. Ford, 5.7.
Renault, 7.7.
Honda, 8.2.
Tesla is 44.6 price-to-earnings ratio.
So it's still crazy high.
Yeah, and it deserves a premium.
The question is, does it deserve 5x the premium?
And I think the answer is no.
So again, I'm sticking to this prediction.
As F. Scott Fitzgerald said,
intelligence is the ability to hold two contrary thoughts in your mind at the same time.
This company will continue to perform really well. Record deliveries, record revenues,
record top and bottom line, and its stock will decline, in my view, dramatically. I just think
it's, I still think it's overvalued. So some separate news to the earnings. Last week, Tesla delivered 15 semi-trucks to Pepsi.
And this is something that Tesla shareholders have been waiting forever for. It's the first
big delivery. And one of the big questions you were addressing is something that everyone's
asking, is this a car company or is it something more? And I think the Tesla bulls would point to this and say, no, Tesla is going to take over the trucking industry and the transportation industry.
Heavy duty trucking is a $200 billion market.
This is so much more than a car company.
This is basically an autonomous driving play, I would think.
Because if there's one place that autonomous driving makes a ton of sense, and Jason Stavers, our editor-in-chief, pointed this out. It's in long-haul trucking. Tesla has invested a great deal of money in
autonomous driving. However, having said that, autonomous driving is definitely one of those
technologies where the performance is not kept pace with the promise. And that is, it is taking
much longer than we'd anticipated. And I love the quote from Bill Gates. I think
we made it 10 or 20 years ago. He said, technology that's supposed to take 10 years oftentimes takes
three, and the technology that's supposed to take three years often takes 10. I thought that was
really interesting. And I would argue that autonomous driving is the latter. It was supposed
to be here just in 2018, 2019. We were supposedly on the cusp
of millions of self-driving cars, and it hasn't happened. So it feels to me like it's five or
six years off and that the promise of a Tesla truck was to say to these organizations,
you're going to dramatically reduce costs and increase utilization. I mean, Elon Musk is such a great salesperson.
He says, and he has this great metric,
he says that once a car is self-driving,
it becomes 10 to 20 times more productive.
And that makes sense, right?
I have a Tesla, I park it, I turn on a switch,
and I can rent it out while I'm sleeping.
Okay, go get people or transport stuff for people
or whatever, go pick up someone from the airport
and just start making money or monetizing the asset while I'm in my sleep. It's a really
compelling thought. The first place should be in long haul trucking. It doesn't appear to be
happening as fast as we'd hoped. And then finally, something we mentioned are these price cuts. So
Tesla prices came down around 20% in January. I think it's important to mention here
that with that discount, two of their cars, the Model 3 and the Model Y, both of them are now
going to be eligible for the Inflation Reduction Act tax credit. And what that basically says is
that under a certain price, which they've reached, you get $7,500 off covered by the government.
And to me, what they're doing here is just trying to make Tesla
super affordable. And in the past, Tesla has been very much a luxury brand, but it feels like maybe
they're pivoting away from that. So do you have any insights into the branding side of this? Do
you think that this is a good idea that they're trying to make Tesla more affordable? They're
taking advantage of these tax credits, but they're probably going to lose this luxury footing that they've had since their inception. I don't think so. I think they can pull
this off. You know, BMW has a 3 Series. It's not an inexpensive car. Generally, cars are going to
kind of have three models, like good, better, best. And then they have a general positioning,
and they're built on the same platforms. It's a business of scale. If you buy a Q7 from Audi, you're also buying a Porsche Cayenne and you're also buying a Volkswagen
Touareg. They're all built on the same platform. They just have different finishes.
But within each model range, even at the luxury range, they usually have the 3 Series, the 5
Series, and the 7 Series. That's BMW. So kind of going up and down the food chain, I think they
can still maintain that luxury positioning. It's still an up and down the food chain, I think they can still maintain that luxury
positioning. It's still an expensive car. They still offer, you know, $140,000, I think it is,
so yeah, they can pull this off. Energy giant Chevron is planning a $75 billion stock buyback after it registered record profits
in 2022. The company will also increase its dividend payouts, and this program will launch
in early April. Chevron's current market cap is $350 billion, which means that this program is
worth almost a quarter of the company's total value.
Chevron shares rose 4% on the news. So, Scott, let's start with a more basic question here.
What is a stock buyback, and why do companies do it?
It's a way of returning capital to shareholders. So, it's basically a company says,
we are a profitable company,
we have positive cash flow, we end up with a billion dollars in cash at the end of the year.
And we don't have an immediate plan or growth strategy where we could deploy
with a decent ROI hurdle that billion dollars. So we go out and with that billion dollars,
we buy our own shares back. And we reduce the number of shares from, say,
100 million to 90 million outstanding, meaning if we do a billion in profits, instead of having
a $10 EPS, we have an $11 EPS, which should take the price of shares up, which is sort of a tax
efficient way, if you will, of returning capital to shareholders. If it was a dividend, they'd get
taxed. This way, ideally or theoretically, the value of their shares goes up. And if they don't
sell them, they're growing the value of their shares in a tax-deferred manner. Now, oftentimes,
share buybacks, I mean, some people call it financial engineering. Some people would accuse
management of lacking vision when they don't put capital to work. And also because management is
largely compensated based on the value of shares because the majority of their compensation, sometimes 90, 95, 98% of their
compensation comes from options tied to the stock price, that they would rather just go take all of
their excess capital and do share buybacks, thereby juicing in the short term the stock price
and increasing their compensation. And that's sometimes
not the best thing for the economy because a small number of people own the majority of shares in
companies. And would that capital be better spent, if you will, or be better for the economy, better
for the Commonwealth, if people or companies were motivated to build new factories, hire more people,
try and innovate more in R&D.
So it makes sense. And I believe this legislation that's passed, it has said that there will be greater taxes on share buybacks. Also, also, Ed, what is really ugly is when
companies, specifically airlines who did this, take all of their excess cash, buy back stock,
juicing the stock price, and then go hat in hand to government
saying we need a bailout because why? We don't have any cash because we use it to buy back stock.
And what do you know? I made a shit ton of money, but now we're all in this together. And what this
creates is a situation where we're capitalists on the way up and then socialists on the way down
looking for bailouts in a company or an economy where you have capitalism and private capture on the way up,
the government bailouts on the way down, that's neither socialist nor capitalist.
It's cronyist.
And it's wrong.
So I think any company that's had a certain level of share buybacks shouldn't be eligible
for government bailouts.
Go out of business.
Yeah, I was just going to bring this up, which is two years ago during COVID,
the government gave the oil and gas industry
$10 billion in tax cuts and loans.
And so it just feels crazy to me
that now, two years later,
all these companies are seeing record profits now.
Chevron apparently has $75 billion to play with.
And their response isn't to, you know,
reinvest that capital back into the business,
which would help them survive another macro incident or maybe help them move faster towards
sustainable energy. No, instead, their response is, we're going to cash out shareholders with
dividends, and we're also going to pump up the stock price with buybacks. So isn't this just
really financially irresponsible and on a higher level, just wrong?
To a point, because companies don't grow forever.
At some point, they've kind of,
I don't want to say maximized their position,
but they're profitable,
they're doing what they're supposed to be doing,
they're aggregating cash.
And to tell them to mandate
that they spend all of their cash again on growth
means they're
going to make probably a lot of dumb decisions.
So a certain level of stock buybacks kind of makes sense.
And also, sometimes you're just taking the shares back to where they were a few years
previous because you will have to issue additional shares for compensation of management.
So the natural pool of shares increases on its own.
But when you're just optimized for share repurchases
and you're not seeing investment and you're seeing a lot of, you know, what I'll call
compensation without investment, it's a tough one. I think the government landed in the right
place and that is, okay, you're not going to make this illegal. You're not going to inhibit it,
but you're going to tax it. Okay. We'll be right back after a quick break with a look at Elliot's activist investment in Salesforce.

Activist investor Elliot Management has taken a multi-billion dollar stake in cloud software firm Salesforce. Elliot's strategic position is unclear, but people
familiar with the matter say shareholders are concerned that CEO Mark Benioff has become
distracted. One of those distractions, they fear, is celebrities. One source said Matthew McConaughey
and Will.i.am are frequently involved in strategy discussions at the company. Another source said, no, it's just casual business discussions.
Either way, they appear to be around.
But Elliot hasn't brought up any of these concerns.
The only public statement we've seen came from managing partner Jesse Cohn,
who said, quote,
we have developed a deep respect for Mark Benioff and what he has built,
and we look forward to working constructively with Salesforce.
Salesforce shares are down 30% in the past year. Scott, another activist play, this is coming right
after our discussion of Nelson Peltz and Disney and their proxy fight. What are your initial
reactions to this one? You're going to see more activist activity this year than we've seen in a
long time. And it's not because management
is behaving poorly or they've made bad decisions. It's because the market is down or a lot of the
biggest companies, a lot of the best companies have had their stocks cut by 50%. And Salesforce
is right in that sweet spot. It's a great company. It's a cloud company,
unbelievable relationships, unbelievable cashflow, and it's got very strong management.
Now, they've had some hits. Brett Taylor, co-CEO, left, and people still, I don't think,
really understand why. That reflects poorly on Mark and succession strategy. He was a young man and well thought of among the troops. I'm a bit conflicted because I know both Jesse and Mark,
and they're both thoughtful, smart people. Does Salesforce probably need to trim
some costs? Probably. But I don't, I mean, I've been to some, not social events, but quote-unquote
business events invited by Mark, and Will.i.am was there. But I also know Mark well enough to
know that he is very focused on business and very bright and exceptionally hardworking, exceptionally committed to the
company. So I think that effectively, Elliott's motivation for investing in this company
is not what they think Mark has done wrong, but what he's done right. Specifically,
it's a great company and the market's taken it down 50%. And I think what they'll do is,
I think they'll just mostly stand by for a year
and hope that the market takes it back up again on its own.
And if it doesn't, then they'll come in
with kind of a finer, you know, scalpel and say,
okay, Mark, we would like to see the following
two or three changes.
What was the nature of that Salesforce event?
And what was Will.i.am doing there?
Mark is a tech guy, pulls together, He would do Dreamforce, these huge events,
and then he would do smaller events. And there'd be some entertainment component,
but then he'd want to talk about business and everyone would go around. And I've only been
to a couple of them, but almost all of them do this. And look, these are humans. If I were
a billionaire, I would get a kick out of hanging out with Matthew McConaughey. But they're not dumb. These guys, you know, they, I remember I was advising a hedge fund that was hugely successful from 2006 to 2008. And I don't go nameless. But I remember walking into the kitchen one day at the snack room, and Martin Scorsese was in there.
And I'm like, oh, it's Martin Scorsese. And the reason why is that this hedge fund manager had
become a billionaire, and his wife had decided that she was a film producer now. Why? Because
they had billions of dollars, and they could produce films. And Martin Scorsese was now hanging around the office.
Wealthy people have options and they get access to stuff.
And especially in Hollywood,
you find a lot of artists who are very drawn to capital
who will finally let them make their art,
i.e. a shitty independent film
or a critically acclaimed independent film
that makes no money.
Just to push back though, I mean, Salesforce down 30% on the year. They were in the bottom
10th of the S&P 500 last year. The CEO left. They had two other executives leave. They're
laying off 10% of the workforce. They're probably going to lay off more. Don't you think even being
seen with these people, even the idea of having fun and hanging
out with Matthew McConaughey, when you're a public company CEO, you just have an obligation when
times are tough to not look like you're having fun. I mean, it's such easy bait for people to
say, he's distracted. He doesn't know what he's doing. He's just trying to have a good time.
I think what you're saying is there's a lot of veracity to what you're saying.
I think that optics matter.
And one thing that activists always want when a stock is down is focus.
And they don't want to see distractions, whether it's non-core businesses, whether it's buying a social media platform, or whether it's hanging out with celebs.
The one thing they always say
is they're always like, focus. And I just know both of these guys, they're both really smart,
reasonable people. I don't think this is going to end up in a proxy fight. I don't see that
happening here. Yeah. See, I was having doubts about whether Elliot actually trusts Benioff
as the CEO. But from what I'm gathering,
you think that they probably do. Well, I don't know. But then the question also becomes,
does Mark Benioff want to be CEO for much longer? Mark is, you know, what is left for Mark to
accomplish? He might say, okay, I want to get this thing back on its footing. But he's sort of
checked every professional box in history, worked at Oracle, started a competitor and built one of
the most valuable companies in the world and arguably one of the two or three most valuable
cloud companies in history. And it's worth, I don't know, what's he worth? 30 or $50 billion.
So he's probably, I don't think he would mind the idea of a succession strategy. It just all
comes down to the individual. I don't know Mark well, but I know him, and he strikes me as a very kind of self-actualized guy that really enjoys life.
And I wouldn't be surprised if he says, look, I'm going to get this back on its feet.
I'm going to name a successor.
And we're kind of off to the next generation of Salesforce.
So apparently Mark Benioff takes business advice from Will.i.am and Matthew McConaughey.
But if you wanted celebrity business advice, who would you talk to?
Here's Mia on the street.
Okay, so my question is,
would you take business advice from a celebrity?
Absolutely.
Wow, such conviction.
Which celebrity?
It would be Oprah Winfrey.
Mr. Donald Glover.
There's a few.
I'd probably go with Joe Rogan.
Warren Buffett popped to mind immediately.
But like a Kim Kardashian, probably not.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Although she has her own business, so maybe so.
I'd honestly take business advice from one of the Kardashians
because although there's nepotism involved, they know what they're doing
and they would probably give me good advice.
Well, I mean, Kim Kardashian knows business more than most.
So that's one I would listen to if they had something to say.
Kris, Jenner.
Like, honestly, no, because she's on top of it.
Or like, Yolanda Hadid.
Like, the mothers.
Beyonce's mom.
What's her name?
Beyonce's mom.
Beyonce's mom.
Hey, girl, hit me up, Miss Knowles.
So I would take business advice from one person only, Madonna.
I think that she's unhinged and chaotic,
and I am also unhinged and chaotic in certain ways.
And I don't know, she's always, like,
treated herself and her work as a commodity as a performer and I
think that's really fucking cool and that's something that I've always kind of like dug
about her making yourself and your personality and your entire being kind of a business itself
also I feel like she's probably somebody who's like a dad type that knows about like stocks and bonds and I don't know why, but I feel
like she has that. Unhinged dad type, knows about stocks and bonds, personality as a brand.
Is Scott the Madonna of business?
Let's take a look at the week ahead. We'll see January data on consumer confidence, job openings, quits,
and the unemployment rate.
And we'll also hear
from Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
Economists are expecting
a 25 basis point interest rate hike.
And we've also got a big earnings week.
Apple, Amazon, Google,
and Meta are reporting.
So are Snap, Spotify,
Match Group, Peloton,
Ford, GM, and Exxon.
Scott, do you have any predictions?
My prediction is that when we look back in 12 months
on the investment that Satya Nadella and Microsoft
made at OpenAI of a billion dollars in 2019,
we're going to see that as visionary.
Everyone's talking about the $10 billion investment now,
but the $1 billion investment getting in early
is going to be one of the best investments in corporate history, specifically whether or not AI lives up to the
hype. It's going to give Microsoft the opportunity to bring new life to something that was already
kind of dead and buried, and that is Bing. And I predict that Bing, under the auspices of an
AI-driven Bing, whether they call it Bing powered by ChatGPT or
Bing AI, whatever they're going to call it, is going to double or triple its market share.
And it's going to take a $1.5 trillion stock or company to $1.7 or maybe $2 trillion. And that
$10 billion, while it seems a lot, is going to add a few hundred billion dollars in market
capitalization to Microsoft. and people are going to realize
that that early investment
in AI
was a visionary move
by Microsoft
and Satya Nadella.
That's all for this episode.

Hey, it's Scott Galloway.
And on our podcast, Pivot, we are bringing you a special series about the basics of artificial intelligence.
We're answering all your questions. What should you use it for?
What tools are right for you?
And what privacy issues should you ultimately watch out for. And to help us out, we are joined by Kylie Robeson, the senior
AI reporter for The Verge, to give you a primer on how to integrate AI into your life. So
tune into AI Basics, How and When to Use AI, a special series from Pivot sponsored by AWS,
wherever you get your podcasts.
Hello, I'm Esther Perel, psychotherapist and host of the podcast, Where Should We Begin,
which delves into the multiple layers of relationships, mostly romantic.
But in this special series, I focus on our relationships with our colleagues,
business partners, and managers.
Listen in as I talk to co-workers facing their own challenges with one
another and get the real work done. Tune into Housework, a special series from Where Should
We Begin, sponsored by Klaviyo.
