still, they burned through -- last quarter. an investor is buying facebook as investors flee. he tells us why he is a big lever in mark zuckerberg, head. it looked like the tech sector was in for a massacre. this earnings quarter thanks to a massive showing by facebook. then came apple. the giant surged following 9% and thursday, it happened. $1 trillion. apple became the first u.s. publicly traded company to cross the milestone. how did it get there? mark has the answer. -- carol massar after mark: after months of waiting, apple has become the first u.s. publicly traded company to hit a $1 trillion valuation leaving the likes of amazon, alphabet, and microsoft in its wake, but not far behind.

significantstone is and a testament to rapid growth spurred by products like the ipad, as well as ceo tim cook's leadership after taking over from visionary cofounder steve jobs in 2011. >> we are calling the iphone. let's not forget that what is now the world's most valued company was on the brink of anchor at c as recently as the late 1990's. that was until cofounder steve jobs referred -- returned to the fold. it was one success after the other carried in the seven years and jobs' death, tim cook has launched key new devices like the apple watch, iphone x. he has also pushed the company deeper into new services like apple music, which is now a key revenue. the team is in stopping there. they are keeping apple on the technological edge, self driving
4:03 am
cars, augmented reality. cook told bloomberg in an interview "i don't really think about it. that is the truth. i still view apple as a pretty small company the way we operate. it is not numerically, but the carried totion is grow beyond $1 trillion, apple has to keep turning out cutting-edge smartphones while finding its next big hit and growing the digital services business. a larger version of the iphone x and a cheaper model with many of the 10's features are on the way. ar could revolutionize personal commuting again -- computing again while a great online video pushed is coming soon to an apple screen near you. more, here to tell us mark gurman and caroline hyde. you haven minnesota,
4:04 am
covered this company for years. what does this mean? apple hass that become the fabric of our lives. it is testimony that this is something we don't even think about how much we rely on apple's devices and that means that is one piece -- it also means the company is so big right now it has an unfair advantage over a lot of other companies given the market cap, the stock it has. if they ever wanted to acquire companies, they have leverage. and last, it is a wonderful reminder to people to stick to one or two things exceptionally well. in apple's case, it has been one thing. tim cook got a lot of heat over the years for not going on in the phone, coming out with a cheaper phone and mass-market, and he got distracted or m&a, but for not doing
4:05 am
he stuck to what he believed in and that was a third piece i take away from this milestone. emily: i have a chart showing apple at the top, but trailed by amazon, alphabet, microsoft in a pack rising behind apple. mark, you make the point in your story that tim cook has had a lot of successes come even though he has caught a lot of flack for not being steve jobs. mark: this is no accident. when he took over back in the fall of 2011, there was so much talk of, is he going to steer the company to new heights? will he do more than stabilize it? at the same time, there was talk of, will it become a company that became under john scully and other past ceos who succeeded steve jobs? the answer was a no.
4:06 am
the numbers are still representative of this course -- marker.al smaller products, the apple watch, etc. first apple isn't the company to hit the trillion dollar mark. petrochina, which quickly fell. the highestving market cap isn't necessarily the recipe for success. absolutely not. microsoft in 1999, hit a half $1 it hadn mark and while four successive years of downward trajectory, it languished at the number 300 in terms of market capitalization. it doesn't spell a winning streak. you mentioned petrochina. because oil prices fell, it fell off its perch. taken intong to be
4:07 am
account with apple is not only is it ahead of the pack when it ofes to the other in excess half $1 trillion companies, it is about $100 billion worth more than amazon and the like, but prettyce-to-earnings is reasonable. it is the lowest of those companies. it trades at about 18 times future earnings. trades ato amazon, it more than 100 times future earnings. this is a company that is always -- already raking in a quarter trillion dollars in terms of and no month year -- wonder its valuation is so high. emily: what are the risks for apple? are there any risks apple hits this mark and then falls back down given the challenges ahead? even though it is relatively cheap compared to its tech peers? risk there is no immediate and that always concerns me when i can't identify an immediate
4:08 am
term risk, but i don't see any for the next one to two years. probably over the next five to 10 years, there will be the emergence of wearables. somethinged reality, apple is strong in, but that will be a shift in devices people are going to use. the good news for investors is, we have a clean sailing ahead for the next several years, but the risk is down the road as to what could happen when we have to next hardware shift. that is one thing apple has done well is this idea of embracing the dilemma. when they had successful product 's, 2005, the ipod was over 50% of revenue, they were very aggressive at creating a new product to cannibalize that. in the future, apple will have to cannibalize the iphone and that will resent some risk to the story. are upmark, wearables
4:09 am
60% in revenue, but will it revenues -- revolutionize the iphone? mark: it will be another product, augmented reality glasses. emily: how big can that be? mark: we declare that two years ago. that is what tim cook's banking the future of the company of in terms of hardware. the company has over 1000 engineers working on this, an augmented reality headset to exceed the iphone, to take the heat away from the apple watch not doing as well as expected earlier on. this is their next big product. emily: are you as optimistic about ar as marquez? -- mark is? has done a wonderful job covering the topic and i
4:10 am
agree this is the next thing in terms of the mobile device, but it is going to be a long time away. i am optimistic about apple's business over the next several years. i want to emphasize that, because the hardware business, the iphone business is operating almost like a services business, putting it together and answering your question, i share mark's optimism about the future impact that augmented reality will have on consumers. is not justine, it products that have led to this run-up, it is also share buybacks, correct? caroline: -- certainly when it comes to the share price. there is a chart that highlights how much the ramp up in share price has been driven by buybacks. they bought back phenomenal quantities, billions since they announced the attempt -- intentions and you do the math, you can see 42% of the share ramp-up is because of these
4:11 am
share buybacks. that doesn't mean the market capitalization is driven by that because when you buy back shares, there are less for the price of them carried in some ways come to hold to your capitalization, but you drive up your overall price of each share when you are making the earnings. a little complex realization in market caps, but the share price ramp-up has a lot to do with buybacks, not just innovation. emily: coming up, elon musk offers amaya coppola after scolding two analysts for what he called bonehead questions. more from tesla's report next. out on the radio and listen on the bloomberg radio app, bloomberg.com and on sirius xm. this is bloomberg. ♪

emily: google staff awoke on wednesday to surprising news. the companies working on a search cap tailored and censored for china. the company has been worked on codename dragonfly spring 2017. this would be an about-face for google, which largely withdrew from the country -- the project was kept secret from all but select leaders and sparked a furious debate. some good news from tesla, the company burn through less cash than wall street. in the second quarter and ramped up production of its model three sedan. production hit 5000 week
4:15 am
multitude -- multiple times in july. elon musk predicted 6000 for august. he apologized to the analysts he scolded earlier for asking "bonehead and dry questions on the company's previous earnings call." applied, -- in that regard. there was no reason and working 120 hour weeks. nevertheless, there is no excuse. we spoke to several guests and the call was just beginning. >> we are looking forward to more news about the china factory. in the letter, they said china is one of the largest markets
4:16 am
for av's and autonomous driving. we think that is the largest market opportunity for china, a $10 million market globally in the next 10 years. we think they could raise capital to support that can we are ok. emily: you have been diving into the numbers for the last hour or so. what else do you see that we are not looking at? andhe big question for me it hasn't been answered yet, is demand. on whattesla, based they are saying, they haven't even tried to sell the cars and they are selling them really well. we don't know what has happened with these hundreds of thousands of reservation holders. some analysts had suggested the possibility there were lots of cancellations, tesla has pushed back on this but in the long run, that will be a big question.
4:17 am
electric cars are a very small percentage of the auto market. tesla thinks that is going to muchbut it is unclear how and just how badly people want these things. emily: goldman put out a note saying they have seen interest andease as availability test drives had increased. does that concern you? tasha: i think there is more than enough demand for the car out there. ,n the model three sales outpaced all midsize premium sedans and that is pretty amazing for a new car. we are not concerned on the demand side and we have seen really great resale value, as well. model x sells for $75,000. muji years later, it is worth $45,000. we think these cars are a great investment. once they go autonomous car you can make money off of them. we are not concerned from the demand side. emily: the bears are out there. david einhorn shorting tesla,
4:18 am
about it not so happy and in fact, responded to a resort from bloomberg's tictoc saying "tragic, will send him short shorts to comfort him through this difficult time. " as always, punchy. elon investorse want to see. he has at least rolling with it. washat report, he complaining about the quality of his car and saying he would cancel his lease. the fact must is taking it as a joke will probably be seen as a good sign from investors. emily: elon musk has opened a call with executives thanking them for their "mind blowing performance" over the last month and confirm they have been doing
4:19 am
7000 total cars weekly into july. obviously, the numbers are moving in the right direction. do you think it is sustainable, even without the tent and the human production line outside? i think tesla is working hard on that sustainability aspect of it. they said they hit 5000 multiple times. people are looking for that to be continuous, but to take a step back, there is a lot of undue focus on the production numbers. people are really missing the isg-term story that tesla producing the some believable product that actually improves after you put it on the road. no other automaker is doing that right now. these cars improve overnight. they gain value after you acquire them as a customer and that is the tesla advantage, the software advantage and that is not going away anytime soon. that is why they attract such talent, because they have this

4:24 am
are paying more attention to that perhaps they didn't get as excited about as i know you are? the whole think roadshow was about educating investors in terms of our model and the quick reaction is always , they make these great-looking speakers and so they are a hardware company. we did have to spend a lot of time helping investors understand that we are a totally different kind of company that builds products that last for a long time and people come back of those- buy more products. we are conventional in that sense. in consumer electronics, we are the only company that approaches it the way we do. some of the education was necessary and so i think there is that element, of course. owners,i talk to sonos they love the product, but a product is -- does not a good business make. when you talk about the narrative you are pushing to the street, where is the growth going to come from? is it convincing folks to upgrade to new systems? is it the platform itself?
4:25 am
where do you see the growth in the future? phase, wen this first have been successful in breaking into the traditional home audio market. i am most excited about and what investors got excited about was the fact there are 170 6 million people around the world now paying for streaming music. year.nd -- a what our job is in the second phase is to get people the -- who have all that great music from pandora, apple, on their phone and get them listening to it out loud at home. that is where we come in because of our open platform supporting those services. that is what we are talking about in this next phase at sonos and what i am excited about. emily: on the road, you talked a lot about the opportunity of voice acted speakers -- activated speakers and we pair
4:26 am
alexa with the next age of voice activated speakers, but amazon also strikes fear into other technology companies. how do you manage that relationship going forward if they decide to push more into the wireless speaker phase -- space? theick: we managed relationship with amazon and google for over a decade. we work closely with them, respect those company. have put alexa on the platform, google will come this year. it has been beneficial for both sides in terms of them getting services into our 7 million homes and us being able to offer that voice control of the music experience. based on our experience and last decade of history, i expect our partners will continue to want to bring their latest service to sonos and we will bring that to millions of additional homes. the latterforward to half of the year, you are a public company now and some of the macro trends will undoubtedly impact how your
4:27 am
stock trades, whether it is tech earnings for the group or political tensions with the likes of china. what are the biggest risks for your business in the second half of 2018 looking forward? patrick: i really feel after 20 years in the tech space, i feel it is more about what you are doing and executing in your own business. i realize and unrealistic about watching tariffs and things like that, but it is more where we are in the market with a huge opportunity in front of us. i am more focused on how we execute the products we need to bring to market, the countries feel at ourng and i scale, some of those macro trends, we will be mindful of, but it is also the opportunity ahead so big and we are so early in the game that we could maneuver around.

♪ emily: welcome back to "the best of bloomberg technology." has facebook hit bottom or does it have farther to fall? second quarter results show signs it may be running out of new users. investors reacted swiftly, wiping $1 million in market value off the stock. one person who is not worried? here is what he had to say when one twitter user asked him about the facebook drop -- we sat down with him for a wide-ranging interview that began with, what else but facebook? >> i bought a couple hundred thousand dollars worth of shares .
4:31 am
i bought some more this morning because i am a long-term believer in the stock and i don't think there will be a lot of moments over the next three to four years, outside of macro economics, we will take advantage of it. i do not tend to buy a lot of publicly traded stocks. my original facebook came pre-ipo but it got hit when all the cambridge analytical stuff happened and mark was on trial. i bought a ton. numbers or news recently, i have been buying a little more because in the next 4, 7, 9, 23 years, it is a goodbye. -- good buy. emily: he compared facebook to philip morris in terms of facebook's negative impact on the world. what about concerns about fake news? what about online hate?
4:32 am
what about concerns about our privacy? gary: there is a stunning non-conversation about taking on some sense of responsibility, meaning choosing cnn or fox or has as many dynamics as what you are seeing in your feed, and more importantly what you are choosing to consume as real. to me, the thought that facebook is any different than twitter or instagram, which obviously they a millionbsites or different ways we consume, is kind of laughable and silly. visa and target and the american government itself has had breaches of information far more dramatic. concept, but ie think making a jump from philip morris, which systematically spent lobbying dollars and tried
4:33 am
to pay off politicians for four to five decades to suppress information, is an awfully big jump. emily: what about profitability versus privacy? well one always trump the other and can we actually trust facebook? i have no problem trusting facebook anymore than i trust any other company on earth. profitability and privacy is kind of funny to me. we choose to do convenience ever profitability every day of the week, and privacy, the way we pick privacy on a pedestal is almost nonexistent in our actions. every person watching this gives her privacy every day for convenience and speed so whether it is amazon or google or facebook, any of these companies that sits as a layer over top of the internet, we have shown more action over the last 30 years and continue to with the use of instagram and others. i love the people protesting
4:34 am
facebook on instagram. we prove how we think about privacy, we love to talk about it but do not fear it as much because the amount of bad things that happen to the health and well-being of our family and having our money stolen is extremely far and few between. emily: what about the forces that may be bigger than us, the to hack ourtried elections using facebook and there is evidence they are doing it again, to sow discord? facebook, this network, fox, cnn, twitter, it is all the same game where i think about it from a macro which is, we make decisions. facebook or russia did not make us pull for hillary or trump. people are buying ads and running them in our screens, is very interesting. if you look at the execution of people that run political ads,
4:35 am
the cost of penetrating someone with a different opinion versus one that reinforces your stance is where this gets more interesting. i think this is one of the great examples in human time of us not interested in accountability. facebook did not make you a racist, you made yourself a racist. emily: let's talk about twitter. you use twitter a lot and we saw the same huge dip on the back of twitter earnings. it is clear twitter is not in a high-growth state. they have hit a plot to and lost users over the last quarter. the president of the united states is using it as his megaphone. it is not the next facebook. gary: it was never the next facebook. the truth is, facebook is all encompassing with instagram and who knows what mark and cheryl and the team are up to on their next m&a. the next facebook, i
4:36 am
assume it is not priced on wall street in the same manner. if you look very closely to moon pie, a small snack brand, if you look at what wendy's is doing, the business world is starting to understand how to use facebook to drive business. we are working with kraft heinz on miracle whip. twitter is how much the backbone of driving sales at albertsons and walmart. i will say that maybe the with th oftention -- wid attention on twitter is not growing to the stock market's wants and needs, but the ways to maneuver in it and it's at three to over the last four years i have been critical and not excited about twitter question,but i, no have seen over the last six to 12 months seen a resurgence different from the trump effect in just how much attention is in the platform.
4:37 am
when you have attention, you have the ultimate currency. it will be interesting to see what they do with their own tt. they were flirting with that space a year ago. i don't know how earnings are done or how much the street values things, but depth and maybe not width is not emerging. emily: in 2007 just before the financial crisis, one of them was a tech company, which is microsoft. is the market putting too many eggs in the tech basket? gary: i think about things in such long-term, like the thought of me understanding the short-term economics of 90 day terms and numbers that most of the viewers here play on, and the arbitrary nature and the fact that we are playing financial engineering, not actually building businesses, and the macro, of course not. tech companies will continue to gain momentum.
4:38 am
actually live,e not here, so in the super long-term, no. have no sense if the market has overpriced these companies based on the numbers they can hit over the next 90 days. people will not be watching abc and nbc over netflix and consuming newspapers over netflix. we are just starting in that world. short-term economics and the way the streetlights the play, that is up to you guys. the danger in the 5, 10, 15 year macro, i don't see it because the reality is we are only heading in one direction. technology does not care about our feelings or short-term judgment or wall street. humans are engaging deeper and deeper and will continue to come in perpetuity. emily: that was the boehner meter ceo. squares stock has doubled this
