About this episode

As Vladimir Putin presses on with Russia’s assaults in Ukraine, the rest of the world has reevaluated the globe’s balance of energy power. The New York Times columnist Tom Friedman discusses the new oil world order and this moment’s legacy in energy markets for years to come. Elon Musk closed out an eventful week with a “cyber rodeo” to celebrate the opening of Tesla’s new gigafactory in Austin, Texas. CNBC’s Phil Lebeau and WSJ’s Tim Higgins discuss the whirlwind week for Tesla, Twitter, and Musk himself. Plus, famed entrepreneur and venture capitalist Peter Thiel shared some harsh words about fellow billionaire Warren Buffett, calling the Oracle of Omaha a “sociopathic grandpa.”
