alisa: i'm alisa parenti in washington, and you are watching "bloomberg technology." let's start with a check of your first word news. president trump says he is imposing new tariffs to "reject american jobs and american workers." they will affect imported solar energy components and large washing machines. china, germany, and mexico have denounced the import duties. senate minority leader chuck schumer has told the white house that funding for a border wall with mexico is now off the table, according to a senior democratic aide. schumer last week agreed to the $1.6 billion president trump or -- requested to build the wall while negotiating the government spending bill.

emily: i'm emily chang, and this is "bloomberg technology." coming up, twitter's ceo makes his exit. while the top job at sophia. plus, uber's ceo plans to put the ride-hailing giant ahead. and we go to taiwan to get a behind-the-scenes look at companies ushering in the next tech breakthrough. first, to our lead. a huge shakeup for the leadership team at twitter. coo anthony noto has resigned to take the ceo position at social finance, or so fi. he's played a leading role at the company and has his work cut out for him at sofi when he takes over in march. he will fill a leadership void after fallout from accusations of sexual harassment.
11:03 pm
for more on how this all went down, we are joined by bloomberg news tech reporter selina wang. how did this all play out? how big a loss is this for twitter? reporter: they certainly delivers a blow for twitter, especially at the beginnings of their early turnaround strategy. they are finally starting to show some revenue and user growth. that being said, noto did put in place much of the structures they needed to start this turnaround, paring back some of the other parts of the business to focus on user engagement. some sources have also said this could provide a good opportunity for jackson's they have not always agreed on product division and this may the and , adjusting way for jack to pursue some other pass that had not been possible with noto. emily: jack dorsey tweeted "i'm happy for him and really proud of everything he's a compass that twitter.
11:04 pm
he's been a friend, partner, and mentor to me. he will always have my friendship and gratitude. thank you. we love you." let's talk about the real logistics here of the fact that they are not refilling this position, and what that means. reporter: i just got off the phone with a source. it is not clear for sure they will not fill the position. there's a few steps that they are going to take. first of all, they are going to assess come at a they keep the current organizational structure they have right now reporting up to noto? jack was in charge of the engineering and consumer part. noto was in charge of the business structure. do they want to change that? if so, they want to promote someone to fill that role or hire someone from outside? for now they will try and disperse that have the top ranks fill in the position that noto is now leaving.
11:05 pm
the leader of global ad sales will certainly play a large role in that. he will be the immediate person to fill in, but you're absolutely right. we have a dual ceo at this company. without a coo it certainly presents a problem. emily: julie, by all accounts this seems to be a win for sofi. what is the word you're getting from the company? >> i think it is a big boom for their business. in many aspects, i've used sofi at this darling that has always done so welcome, but 2017 was not that great a year. they lost their coo, their chief revenue officer, now they finally have some clarity bring in a big-name that brings together a good balance of finance and technology that should be good to get sofi back on track. years ago, cagney said ipo is on the horizon for 2016, i think that was the original timeline,
11:06 pm
and we are already in 2018. emily: i can only imagine that the culture there has been somewhat beaten down by all of these sexual-harassment allegations, which didn't just service with my candidate, but -- surface with mike cagney, but others as well. thewould you describe culture at the company right now, the sentiment among employees? >> i think right now people are still just one into wait and see what anthony brings in, but they are glad to have an adult, so to say, in the room. a leader, someone to look to. for a while there was no one to say, this is our strategy right now. everyone was in wait and see mode for a long time. emily: twitter is about the report earnings, and the company has been improving when you look at the numbers. what are we expecting? is anthony noto leaving on a high note? >> i think that is a really great way to put it. he has put in place a lot of the fundamentals and now they are ready to bloom.
11:07 pm
it is a very opportune time for him to leave. the expectations are good. the analysts i've spoken to don't think him leaving is going to fundamentally change the pieces about the company. for a long time twitter was actually shrinking, and now they are slowly starting to grow. one of the metrics that looked very positive is the daily active user growth. the growth rate has been looking very positive in terms of the users coming to the platform, the time they are spending on the platform, and a lot of that should be credited to jack as well since he is the one spearheading a lot of the actual user interface and product update the algorithmic timeline and the notification changes, the explorer cap changes -- explore tab changes. anthony leaving is not going to change that. emily: we're going to continue to cover this story later in the show. bloomberg lp operates a global breaking news network on twitter

emily: netflix surging nearly 10% in tuesday's trading session, it's best performance since july 2017 after reporting its best quarter ever. the jump in stock price has helped push streaming giant passed a $1 billion valuation. netflix helped lead the nasdaq higher in the session, closing at a new all-time high, helping the massive tech rally was -- tech rally throughout 2017 continue into the new year. thank you for joining me. why invest now in tech and how much of the gains you are seeing are tech related? >> most of the gains in our fund our tech related. we think it is a particularly
11:12 pm
interesting time in tech, despite the fact we have been on a nine-year bull run in stocks, and tech has left that has -- has led that. we focus on e-commerce, advertising. we think we are an inning two or three. in the united states, e-commerce as a percent of retail is about 11 what 5%, 12% penetrated. in china that number is 70% or 80%, but that is -- 17% or 18%, but that is early. more than half of the dollars spent in advertising are spent off-line. as companies look more and more towards getting our ally -- getting roi and targeting metrics, they will look to shift from off-line to online, and we expect the majority of that to come out of television. emily: let's talk about the online ad game which google and facebook currently own.
11:13 pm
you see the up and comer as amazon. guest: amazon has been quietly been building a multibillion dollar at business. it started a couple of years ago, primarily targeted at pcg's. it is very hard to distinguish product types on amazon. the ceo of the big four ad agency mentioned that the conversation is around, how do i avoid commoditization on amazon? the answer to that is spending at dollars to differentiate that product. if you think about where amazon sits, they are at the bottom of the final. they know exactly -- the funnel. they know exactly when and where you convert. facebook and google are at the top of the funnel. they can track you across the web, but they may not know whether you actually convert on that product.
11:14 pm
that is kind of the holy grail to advertisers, and why they are more attracted to and thinking about advertising on amazon relative to google or facebook. emily: using amazon could surpass google or facebook? guest: it will be tough. google is about an $80 billion or $90 billion at business. we do think that over the next 10 years, there's a real possibility that amazon becomes number two and does surpass facebook. emily: bad news for facebook. guest: not necessarily because most of that share comes out of tv, and primarily google. facebook is a little bit of a different buy in that it is more of a brand builder then a direct to consumer or e-commerce. that being said this is very , transformational for amazon. the street is maniacally focused on it amazon will do an 8%, 9% margininto -- ebitda three quarters from now. we think the better costs to look at our facebook and google. if amazon's revenue were to grow to 50% of advertising overtime
11:15 pm
we think the business overall could grow 30% or 40%. emily: if you hedge, how you do that? there's a lot of folks that are losing. traditional retail has obviously been a big area of shorts for us. if you think about it from an advertising perspective, each incremental dollar that is spent on amazon is one less dollar likely spent on tv through a traditional ad agency. we are particularly worried about the sustainability of the traditional ad agency model, which charges 20% to 30% for every ad placed on television. emily: if there's a stock market correction, how are you preparing for that? ay: we always have to be cognizant that there are factors we cannot control, but we do tend to run a pretty diversified portfolio from a long and short term perspective. there are a number of industries we think are being disrupted , heavily overleveraged, etc. that in a market downturn will , go down faster. emily: what about a company like
11:16 pm
netflix, which you see the stock price completely divorced from subscriber growth? subscriber growth is plateauing, and yet the stock continues to be on the rise despite the billions of dollars of commitment in original content they had. jay: the new subscriber opportunity in the united states certainly is starting to decelerate. still growing, but decelerating as netflix moves of that penetration curve. the big opportunity is overseas. when we step back and think about there are 6 billion to 7 billion people in the world, all those people want to enjoy content. netflix is the largest repository of on-demand content in the world. when you think about the cost of netflix in this country, your paying roughly $11 to $12 a month. for you or i to take our family to the movie theater, getting a sitter, that is probably north of $100. emily: that's why we never go.
11:17 pm
jay: and that's one movie. the point is i think there's a huge opportunity here to raise price. we think that netflix can double, triple, even quadruple prices and not sustain a high level of turn. if you think about it, we are training to pay between $80 to $100 a month for cable. emily: what about all the cable options you won't have? what about life sports? live sports? jay: live sports is important. there are ott options offering on-demand packages. disney will be coming out with an ott package for sports. there will be opportunities to consume that, then obviously you have google and facebook likely to bid for some of these rights and take them online. emily: jay kahn, thank you so much for joining us. we will see if you are right. you are looking at a live shot now of the senate floor as they vote on the nomination of jerome powell for federal reserve chair. president trump picks in november to replace current fed chair janet yellen when her term

11:34 pm
this return to revenue growth, and i think anthony, under his purview, he was getting at -- instrumental in getting video ad revenue and decommissioning ad formats that weren't working. the challenges our revenue, and longer-term, the challenge is growing the user base. 330 millionhis global users to something that is more scaled. i would think you want to get half a billion, 500 million or 700 million. i want to see more users, so that has to do with the product, this has to do with underlying growth which goes back to making the product better. finally, what i would say is that anthony was instrumental in cost control. he got profit margins to record levels. over the last few quarters in mind or his leadership engagement was accelerating and investors like to see that. people checking into their twitter more frequently. so my interpretation is that if he is leaving, there is a
11:35 pm
possibility that he sees the writing on the wall and these inflections that investors want to see may not be as realistic or apparent and that could be at -- that could be it, but it could also be that he has a really nice offer at a really exciting company to be a ceo. a driven, ambitious executive who wants to be the top executive, wants to be the ceo, and it could be a referendum on what he thought his chances were going to be to become ceo at twitter. emily: my sources told me that he was looking for a ceo job for quite a while, and the numbers at the company actually look pretty good. this means users -- he is living on a high note. that said, 507 million users, is that realistic? twitter's user growth has been happening in fits and starts and
11:36 pm
plateaus, and it seems like that is way out of reach at this point. anthony: the issue is valuation. if you are right and the target markets are constrained to 350 million users globally, i think it gets harder and harder for twitter to grow into the valuation, and it certainly basis at a multiple on a that is quite high. particularly if you look at it adjusting for stock-based compensation -- stock-based compensation. the way i was say is that it gets more difficult for them to grow into devaluation unless they can scale the user base. i'm not saying, i think there are some encouraging things fundamentally for twitter going on right now. i mentioned them, cost controls, accelerating engagement, the ad revenue inflection to positive,
11:37 pm
it is now looking for 7% and -- ad revenue growth in 2018. if you were to dummy that that were to inflict further and numbers were good, i would tell you that that would be heartening for the stocks. but it does come at a delicate time. it is at a time where expectations are starting to a little bit and with leadership turning over, there are questions as to how they can replace an executive of this caliber internally at twitter. emily: anthony diclemente, breaking it all down. i should also add that bloomberg lp operates there. one of the biggest startups on the planet is turning a corner when it comes to profitability. sending the company's initial trajectory out of the red would be a dramatic shift for the global ride-hailing service which has been losing billions

11:39 pm
willing to make trade-offs as it .elated to how it did business i think it was guilty of hubris, guilty of thinking they knew better than others. what we know now, clearly, is hidebreakneck growth can cultural issues, that there are no excuses for not doing the right thing, and that you do have to make trade-offs. and as a management team, we are specifically talking about those trade-offs you have to make. we have to be more patient sometimes, because working with governments, regulators, sometimes takes longer. in the end, you build a more lasting business. maybe what we went through was necessary, but we are here. we can control our actions from this moment onwards, and i think from thist uber
11:40 pm
moment onwards wants to build a great company not only in terms of growth, but in terms of the kind of company anyone would want to work at. >> can i ask you one thing, hanging over from last year, all the regulatory problems, particularly the paces against you. i think there were six criminal probes. >> the lawyers are lining up outside. >> which one do you think, which one do you fear most? are think all of them serious issues, and my response to bet we are going transparent and we are going to take responsibility for our actions in the past. i do think that there are certain circumstances where there was smoke but no fire, and i think is a company, we have to defend ourselves and work within the appropriate frameworks. my goal is to get beyond this
11:41 pm
stuff. >> some of the things like pricing policies go to the heart of what uber is. or am i wrong? >> they do, but there is a way of being smart but transparent at the same time. that is where we have to take the company. uber. that was the ceo of for our reaction, eric is here. what do you make about what he had to say? >> the tactful measured ceo they want, i inc. the dodge -- i think the dodge on profitability is interesting. super noncommittal. will, last year, they will have lost $4 billion. so it makes sense that he is trying to give himself some time to turn that around. but it is another sign the margins are sort of a big problem for the company.
11:42 pm
so no commitment there, which i think is the biggest news. emily: what about what he said about the culture? do you believe him, that you always have to do the right thing? thingidn't do the right in many instances. eric: i think it is the right going toor dara, london and brazil, negotiating. we will be talking forever about whether it was necessary for uber to break the rules it did to establish it sells. now that it is an establishment company, saying we always do the right thing, which means following the laws while you are being investigated by the justice department, is a pretty smart and necessary thing for the ceo to say. emily: eric newcomer, our bloomberg tech reporter, finding the skeletons in the closet. thank you. we will have more from the conversation with uber's ceo later in the show. he will talk about autonomous
