here with the latest details on what exactly went down and what it means for the world's biggest maxtup, we are joined by check in of "bloomberg businessweek pickup -- businessweek." what do we know so far about what happened? >> i'm sure they would much rather be at the conference with you. they are fighting over what governance looks like and whether they can pass this softbank deal start moving forward with that. the goal is to put the two together in a single vote, reform governance and expand the board, and start moving on this essentially $10 billion share purchase from softbank and others. it looks like something is likely to pass. i think the actual terms are being negotiated. the movement to one share, one vote and other reforms seem likely at this point. it is a matter of the exact terminology and provisions.

emily: the vanity fair summit is a reminder of how power can change hands so quickly. ago, the balance of power had shifted so dramatically, and yet we still have the same question. just how much power will travis kalanick hold onto? to clean uprying the mess that travis chalupnik made. elsewhere we are seeing withopments in this case googles driverless car division, of course a big reason that he steps down. new disclosures suggest things were pretty bad, that the case that uber has been trying to make doesn't look super compelling. in london, uber is trying to get its license back. all over the world company is trying to deal with the fallout of the past year. emily: let's hang on to this

waymo dispute. new details of come out of a confidential report that uber commissioned into what happened with the acquisition of auto. from what i understand, there are some really fascinating details about how much cover up was involved, among the founders from travis chalupnik best travis kalanick -- travis kalanick himself. >> if you are looking for the founder of auto destroying things he obtained from google while uber was looking into it, soliciting google employees to work for his project, this new report has a lot of evidence of that. unfortunately for waymo, they are going after uber the company, not the person in a civil suit. the question is whether uber

used the information that he may have had, and whether it ever came over to uber and used in any of its trade secrets. that is really the question. if you want evidence that levandowski did some questionable stuff, this report has it. that is also in the report travis may have said, do what you need to do with that material. there is this question of whether uber conveyed to the right message about the handling of potentially stolen material from google. emily: let's talk about the situation in london. deal as of yet, though they have struck a very contrite tone. the head of uber's u.k. division has gone. might this be a tougher fight the uber anticipated? >> a couple of years ago, the conventional wisdom was that uber had gone on this campaign

managed in part by the former campaign manager for the obama campaign, and it basically legalized themselves in a whole bunch of cities. i think a lot of us thought that phase of the company was over. what we are seeing is that all of this political blowback against uber is having repercussions in the individual markets in which it plays. the regulators in london are reacting basically to news that was happening in the u.s. around this program that uber had used allegedly to evade police and regulators. it is basically a political issue where uber has to say, no come a we are nice. -- no,not like that no, we are nice. we are not like that. that ubero signal has changed and is not the steamrolling company that maybe you think of them as. emily: eric, you have maintained

you think uber and london will be able to work it out. to you still believe that after today? >> i think so. both sides seemed to indicate there was a productive meeting. i just think the political backlash against london if they , both for the drivers and the riders, would be in rs. -- would be enormous. we saw this with bill de blasio in new york. up toone thing to stand them, but another thing to kick them out. often did it at one point -- austin did it at one point before the service got very serious. flooding is one of the cooper's -- one of -- of london is one of uber's top markets. >> we are talking about a huge number of cars. i think it is 40,000.

that would be hugely disruptive for uber's drivers. just to disagree with eric a little bit, i think the politics have shifted since that the blog of io battle -- since that de blasio battle. but it is hard to imagine this ending with a blanket ban. we will go back to normal. emily: more negotiations to come. eric newcomer, max, thank you so much for joining us. coming up, we bring you coverage from the vanity fair new establishment summit. i sat down with investor mark cuban. we covered everything, politics and what is on his agenda.

ise ceo of blackrock weighing in on cryptocurrencies. bitcoin was on the top minds of

another banker, goldman sachs blankfein, who says he is "still thinking." bloomberg reported monday that the bank was exploring a bitcoin trading venture. here at the vanity fair new establishment summit in l.a., i sat down was outspoken owner of the dallas mavericks mark cuban. i asked him about the recent uproar over the protests in the nfl. take a listen. >> i am fine with it. the nba and nfl are considerably different. than any football team, you might recognize three players. the rest have no platform, no social media following for some part. the only time to make a statement important to them is when the cameras rolling. basketball, they have a bigger platform. it is completely different. what i said to our team is if you have a message you want to our fans, we will put

you on videotape and say what is on your mind. these protests the nfl tried, you lose control of the narrative. is not the right way to do it. emily: so you don't think they should have protested in that way? >> i'm not saying that at all. i am all for civil disobedience. it was their only opportunity to do that. the nba is completely different. we have much stronger platforms. we have a far better way to connecticut a message. emily: is this a battle president trump should be picking? guest:. no -- no. [laughter] athletes endorse candidates, give money, whatever, but come on. to me there's three donald trumps. the one trying to be the president, the one that the person, and the one that is a twitter troll. do his jobtrying to

as president, hopefully you help the people around him. fourworked with probably agencies and done things that the president has no idea, because that is what americans do. you let him pretend to be president and do his thing, and hopefully the best happens. emily: you made your political views very clear. what are your biggest concerns about this administration? know. i don't they just don't know what's going on. it is not in him to make an effort to understand or learn. possibly because he is not capable. possibly because he is not willing. i don't think he has it in him. emily: does he make it through four years? guest: i say there's a 25%, maybe 30% chance he doesn't. i would be willing to bet against it not because he is going to do some been crazily wrong, but because he is oblivious to the institution and government and the laws and

rules. he will do something and won't recognize that it is an impeachable offense. emily: you recently bought a stake in twitter. why? guest: i've a big fan of artificial intelligence. i think they are making some good moves. you are seeing the evolution of the interface, and i think they are going any right direction. emily: should they get trump off the platform? guest: no, can't do that. we are in a situation right now where politics are so tribal that in that realm of people who really focus on politics, when you try to make a dramatic move, you increase the amount of tribalism. if you take him off, all the trump fans are going to go bananas. that doesn't do any good for anybody. that he just goes to facebook or a website and does the same thing. there's a thousand ways to post digitally. twitter happens to be the only one he knows how to use, but i'm

sure even he can learn to use facebook. emily: they are the crosshairs of this russian investigation, the spread of fake news and misinformation. what is their responsibility? guest: it is interesting because for product gas television, if you -- for broadcast television, if you broadcast an advertisement that says they will cure every illness come you can't do that. the same should apply to facebook and twitter. emily: what about content? guest: it is not content if you are trying to promote a specific agenda. is marketing. there is a big -- it is marketing. there is a big difference. state it is opinion, or state it is reporting.

when they are using targeting, that is advertising. in this case they are posting it through the ad platform. if you are posting it through the ad platform, it can't be fake news. it is a misleading advertising. is the responsibility of facebook and twitter to recognize that they can't allow fake ads to be hosted on the platform. emily: you told bloomberg you're considering getting into bitcoin. have you done so yet? what do you think about people like jamie dimon saying it is fraud? guest: it is interesting. i think there's a lot of assets that their values declined based on supply and demand. there is no intrinsic value. you just have the ability to buy and sell those stocks. like baseball cards. i think bitcoin is the same thing. based on aht some swedish exchange because they gave me liquidity. . pure pure that going --

bitcoin. just like the net and streaming created multiple great companies, i think block chain will as well. i'm involved in something called mercury protocol that i think is going to change the messaging using block chain. emily: how big is your stake in bitcoin? guest: relatively small. emily: we will have to leave it up to the imagination as far as what small means to mark cuban. always great to have him here on the show. coming up, we are going to be talking about google and the tech giants now under a microscope as part of a wide-ranging investigation into how russia used social media and the internet leading up to the 2016 u.s. presidential election. new details on the investigation the at gmail and youtube, next. check us out on the radio, on

the bloomberg radio app, on the web, and on sirius xm. this is bloomberg. ♪

emily: as part of a wide-ranging investigation into how russia and linked operatives harnessed social media during the 2016 u.s. election, lawmakers are focusing on google services including youtube and gmail. the senate has called google to testify on november 1 with executives from facebook and twitter. the panel is focusing on any materials in russian ad buying, fake news, and the potential uses of youtube and gmail. joining me is mark. what do we know about what

has been discovered so far and what action google has taken? guest: we know very little about those two things. google clearly has a lot more channels. youtube is a really big place for fake news, propaganda. is not talked about as often as facebook. at this point we don't know if google has found any evidence. facebook disclosed 3000 election related ads, google said we probed our system and didn't find any similar ad buying on our properties. they: talk to us about russia today situation. they removed that from the premium youtube ad package. reporter: right. they didn't take down russia today's channels, which are the second-biggest on google preferred, their package of premium and high-end youtube

videos where advertisers pay more. this is a tough issue for google. it is a state-sponsored station, but so is al jazeera and bbc. people say that russia today actually produces pretty quality stuff, but the international intelligence agencies have called them effectively a kremlin backed organization. i think congress is looking in particular at russia today, and there are probably other channels and outlets they are eyeing as well. emily: what about gmail? how my gmail in particular have been used here? reporter: we don't have any information on that right now. there certainly are some high-profile attacks, the john podesta hacking. he was using a gmail account and fell for a phishing scam. last week google was preparing to put out some new security tools that they say will be much more impenetrable to hacking and fishing. they are marketing that directly to journalists and political

operatives, saying things like the podesta hack wouldn't happen if you had this toolkit. it has certainly been a popular tactic for hackers in the past , something phishing that has been a cat and mouse game for years. emily: google is now going to be testifying before congress, as our facebook and twitter. do we know yet if google is handing over any information? what kind of information has been requested, the same way facebook handed over all the political ads? reporter: we don't know at this point. we know that facebook has shared information with google. we know that the developers of fake news and propaganda, facebook and google kind of playoff each other. the stories that do really well on facebook tend to do really well on google search. the tweets that google has an certaint to index tweets, so there are a lot of viral tweets that may appear top of search results. congress may be looking at the

interchange there. we don't know if they will plumb the depths of google's fairly expensive advertising network. we don't have a lot of information right now. emily: we know that in the aftermath of the las vegas shooting, that fake news and missa permission ricocheted across the internet. apologized forly it, blamed it on the algorithm. are you aware of any internal initiatives underway to make sure things like that don't happen in the future? reporter: they have put in some protocols. that was a really fascinating issue because the search term was around a particular name whose name was not in any news prior to that. what you saw was a very proactive campaign based on four chan to spread lies about the guy with this name. google's algorithm has this sensitivity and weigh shooting

something up to the top. they shot of a website that clearly was not an established news place. ofhink they put of a lot attention on this. it is hard because what google has historically said, we want to get that relevant and timely information in front of people. bergen,re right mark who covers google for us, thanks so much for that update. coming up, much more from the vanity fair summit live in l.a.. we will sit down with discovery's ceo next. this is bloomberg. ♪
