Exec. Interview: Chamath Palihapitiya Virgin Galactic & Social Capital -

Some have said that Chamath Palihapitiya, CEO of Social Capital, will "change your opinion on everything," often in a style that is both controversial and provocative but also brilliant. Also recently appointed chairman of Richard Branson's space-age venture Virgin Galactic, Chamath takes the stage with Brad Gerstner, founder and CEO of Altimeter Capital, in this exclusive one-on-one session.

If you are watching this video... you have a different mindset than 99% of the population. Keep going and pushing cause you’re a different breed!

I thought I was alone and it's nice to know that I am not. This man is literally thinking everything I've known since studying our economy how it works, taxes / how that works, investments/stocks, business, life, history, and observing other countries as I speak and comprehend 6 different languages. Nobody in this world can realize their full potential and it's sad how they are lost and guided by complete and utter selfish billionaires/government and those dinosaurs will be extinct pushing forward.

When he started to talk about Google's growing stages I immediately thought about how they are trying to get into a multi billion dollar video game industry with Stadia

[@catlas_]

Stadia has been in the works since the inception of Google Fiber. They intended to roll out cloud gaming alongside the adoption of the new low-latency internet service but quickly ran into regulatory walls whenever they tried to expand in areas other than rural Kansas or Missouri. They've invested roughly $500M into Stadia and will likely never see a speck of that in returns. Imagine all of the novel ways that capital could've been allocated and the impact it'd have. This is a motivational driving force for me as an entrepreneur.

[@momojarwan1641]

@@catlas_ Don't knock the gaming industry. It has seen year on year growth and is expected to be $250b industry by 2022. The amount of money games pull is smashing big box office intakes. For example GTA V pulled over $1b in just the first week of release. No movie has ever done that in the box office. If Google can capture the cloud gaming market then they have the ability to squeeze every penny of revenue into their pockets. Don't forget they already own all the advertising platforms in their pockets such as KZbin and their search engine. As a fan of Sony Playstation since the first one came out, I do not believe the Playstation brand will survive post PS5. Microsoft at least has cloud infrastructure but Sony is behind on this. XBOX can compete in the cloud with Stadia but Sony is going to have to rely on others to supply this. The gaming industry is moving into the cloud and Google is trying to get a lead on everyone else.

[@shaokhan4421]

@@momojarwan1641 trying is a good word. Nvidia is doing a decent job. PlayStation is producing tv shows etc. Which is interesting. Also names itself PlayStation “studios.” Warner brothers studios was a bunch of smaller studios that became a conglomerate (funny the parallel.) Xbox is forward thinking with game pass. I bet PlayStation will have a gambit, maybe it’s the tv shows.

[@Andy-xb5qg]

The idea very high taxation won’t impact GDP is absurd. High taxes move money away from private sector to the government. It reduces private sector’s ability to invest and increases government expenditure. When it comes to using money, government is very ineffective (around 50% is wasted before reaching its target) and “investment” decisions are basically political.

[@threebigideas3488]

Is there another way for the government to pay off debt and already committed unfunded liabilities?

[@Andy-xb5qg]

@@threebigideas3488 Yes, printing money (what we have been doing forever). Don’t forget US debt is bigger than the GDP, so, even with a hypothetical 100% tax on everything it wouldn’t be enough. Not to mention a very high tax would make the private sector disappear and, as consequence, the GDP would collapse, making the situation by far worse (It’s pretty much what happened in Soviet Union and other communist countries). As far as the economy continues to grow and the level of imports remains high (so we can make sure to “export” inflation), printing money is not a big problem.
