DC Elites Are Underestimating Elon and DOGE, and This Week Proved It Aaron Levie explains: "There's been this underlying notion of like, Elon et al. don't understand the government enough to be able to change it." "And it might actually be the case that the government doesn't understand Elon, in the sense of he will just see this thing through." "The tools at his disposal, and DOGE's disposal, are sort of completely unprecedented in terms of the ability to put anybody in Congress on notice if they are promoting things that are not making the country better." "They can just create enough visibility and spotlight on the problem that it causes a level of discomfort in supporting moving forward with whatever that thing is." "I think we're seeing some early indication of what DOGE will be able to do." #politics #elon #elonmusk #vivek #doge #dc #trump #2024election #podcast #allin #business #technology #startups #clips #learn #smart

Trump's New Administration Has a Pattern: Business Experience Over Career Bureaucrats On E207, the besties discussed the advantages of President Trump filling his administration with sharp business minds like JD Vance, Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, Howard W. Lutnick, Scott Bessent, Linda McMahon, Doug Burgum, David O. Sacks, and many others. Chamath breaks it down: "I think this is the first time that I can remember where such an enormous number of business people have been motivated to come and work inside of the administration." " I think that the Democrats would never have assembled a group of people like this, even though the Democratic Party has a version of this chart that they could have made." " The problem is that they believe it's deeply unfashionable to get strong, competent business people to take a pause in their business career and come work in government. And you almost look down on people that are successful." " Whereas the Republican alternative here, if it creates a movement, so to speak, so that subsequent presidents tap folks on the shoulder, I think we'll be much better off." " And the reason is pretty simple." "I think that the United States economy is too complicated to be managed by theoreticians, by folks with random PhDs and absolutely no working experience in the real world." " And when you bring those people in to oversee those PhDs, I think you probably get better outcomes." " So I hope this becomes a standard which is, ask these very talented, clearly demonstrated, successful people with judgment, to hit the pause for a year, or three, or five, whatever it is, step into government, help the country, and then go back." #trump #podcast #clips #allin #allinpodcast #gop #republican #democrat #politics #conservative #liberal #elonmusk #jdvance #startups #tech #business

Why It Feels Like Apple Fell Off: Too Much Tastemaking, Not Enough Tastemakers Keith Rabois's theory: Apple is suffering from an overreliance on tastemaking, but all the tastemakers are gone! Apple's product strategy is still living in the Jobs/Ive era, where taste and intuition win out over consumer data and UX feedback. On E207, Chamath voiced his frustration with the iPhone 16 and most recent iOS update: Chamath: "My iPhone does not work. I'm sorry, I'm just going to say it, okay? I don't know what happened." Jason: "You upgraded your software is what happened, you're on iOS 18. It doesn't work." Chamath: "The phone bricks constantly. My photos app doesn't work. It is just really bad." Chamath: "For a company of this scale, I don't understand how it does not go through a more complicated test harness that catches all of this." Jason: "There's no arbiter of taste anymore, who is the backstop?" Keith: "So I think taste is great if you have it, but there's only so many people to planet that are going to have cutting edge taste, and be right." Keith: "If you don't have taste, what most tech companies do is they use data. Data is something that's approachable and leverageable." Keith: "Because Apple has the antibodies to using data to measure success with the user experience... if you subtract taste even by a bit, you don't have the scaffolding that every other company would use." Keith: "And so you see the worst of both worlds." #apple #iphone #tech #stocks #learn #podcast #allin #allinpod #finance #business #technology #design #ux #ui

How to Create an Economic Boom in America: Bend the Fiscal Curve Toward Sustainable David O. Sacks explains: "The thing that probably hurt the Democrats the most was inflation." "Voters clearly do not like the diminishment of their purchasing power." "But how do you stop inflation? You have to raise interest rates." "And that's not good either because that raises the cost of a mortgage, the cost of a car payment, it's bad for investment." "So how do you get out of that box where you either have high inflation or high interest rates?" "The only way is to bend the fiscal curve to that more sustainable path." "And if you can do that, the bond markets will actually give you credit for it in advance." "Right now we're unsustainable. The bond markets know it." "Inflation remains persistently high. The Fed has not been able to cut interest rates the way that they expected to." "If DOGE, working with the rest of the government, can now convince the markets that the US financial picture is more sustainable, we'll get credit for that..." "... interest rates will come down, and that will lead to a boom in the economy."

DOGE's Great Opportunity: Unleashing American Growth by Slashing Bureaucratic Rules Chamath breaks down the limiting impact of the administrative state: "The more people are hired by the government, the number of regulations issued by federal agencies has just continued unabated year in, year out." "You cannot run a country like this." "Congress is doing less and less of a job actually trying to frame how the country should work." "That white space is filled in by these federal agencies." "It compounds and accumulates, this is not replacing laws, none of these regulations have expiry dates." "And so, as a result, I think what you probably have is an incredible restraint on the US economy." "I think that the US economy could be growing at 4 or 5%, but the reason that it doesn't ... is in that one single chart." "It is impossible to be able to live up to your economic potential when you have this burden on your neck." "So, I think the real opportunity for DOGE is to basically do whatever it needs to do using the law to wipe as many of these regulations off the books." "We are better cutting them all to zero and then finding the ones we really need and then re-passing those, than we are going at this piecemeal."

Trump's Mandate: An Extinction-Level Event for Federal Bureaucracy David Friedberg breaks it down: "There's this thing that happens in biology called evolution. And a lot of people think evolution is this continuous process, but it's not." "Evolution is this process by which there is some significant growth for a period of time, and then there is an extinction event or an external force that causes what ultimately becomes what's called punctuated equilibrium." "So the whole kind of system resets, and then the healthier, stronger species survive and they grow and they persist." "If you look at federal spending over the last couple of decades, and I would argue that many of the agencies, much of the bureaucracy, many of the jobs created, many of the spending programs can kind of be viewed as species within this ecosystem that have kind of grown a lot over the last few decades." "And I think what Trump's mandate was by the people was to be kind of the extinction event." "This is going to bring in the most disruptive force that federal agencies have ever seen." "We cannot continue the way we have been with respect to federal spending, bureaucracy and inefficiency in the federal government, and so something has to happen." "And if this is the path by which this gets resolved, in the limited window that's in front of this particular administration, which is probably two years, maybe four, maybe this is what has to happen." #reels #clips #podcast #allinpodcast #trump #doge #government #bureaucracy #waste #elonmusk #rfkjr #trump #politics #learn #spend #debt
