tweeted that test i would be going to the bankruptcy of course and now the vet is not a very funny joke if you are actually the c.e.o. of a company worth seventy billion dollars because that of course creates shock waves on the stock markets and of course elon musk tweeting almost every day sometimes ludicrous stories outrageous stories and nobody knows how far can we take this guy seriously anymore when he tweets and in this particular case i found it quite interesting he named a price for his buyback that that he promises here is four hundred twenty five hundred twenty dollars now i didn't catch that at first that reference either but for twenty is a number out of the stoner community and it's a well known number it's often cold for marianna so of course with musk being known to tweet outrageous stuff people wonder is he joking putting a reference in there we don't know or does it mean it over missed. serious it might also be legal but is it smart ass well in this case it might not be very smart of course if you are known to be a little bit of a jokester and a prankster on twitter it's probably not good to use that to communica

it easier than when you became c.e.o., or do you still feel you have to work harder to be a woman c.e.o. than, let's say, a man who is c.e.o. of an equivalent sized companyasier today because there are a few more of us in positions of power. but i think from a personal perspective, it has nothing to do with women, or being in this position. i have the immigrant fear -- i'm always afraid that if i fail i may have to go back to something i don't want to go back to and so that fear always motivates me, and i drive myself to be better and better and better at my job every day. david: you are a role model for many women. do you see yourself as a role model, and particularly for women from india or outside the united states? indra: i don't have a choice but to be a role model, and i feel a privilege to be the role model, whether it is for women, minorities, indian women for sure. everybody looks up to me and wants to learn from me and get my advice. you know, i can't give them all enough time. that's the thing that makes me feel very bad, because i get letters every day asking for advice or whether i would be a mentor to people. i can't do it all, so i try to

doesn't that bring in a host of legal issues, given that he is the c.e.o. and chairman of the company? >> absolutely. you have to go through a legal process to provide a tender for a company in this regard. it sounds like from the flurry of tweets and blog posts that this is happening on the fly. and then some regard, in response to the legal backlash, that they're seeing, given the fact that it sounds like the tweets maybe were a little bit ahead of the process. selina: so there are these continuing discussions with the saudis but doesn't this bring into question the committee on foreign investments here? i'm sure they would take issue with a large foreign investor taking a stake in this iconic american company. >> yeah. i think especially in the trump era where we've seen the administration sort of willing to kind of do new things, to protect, as they see it, american national security, i think that's certainly an issue. obviously the american relationship with saudi arabia is not nearly as contentious as the relationship with china, where we've seen the trump administration really

offer to buy a company, the board has to make sure the interests of shareholders are represented and in this case, they are in a precarious position because they have a very charismatic c.e.ohappens to really hate being the c.e.o. of a public company. he doesn't like the scrutiny of the markets and that is why he wants to go private. they have to make sure whatever offer comes in, that being the board, is in the best interest of shareholders. and i can tell you $420 a share is not going to do it. there are a lot of long holders who think this company is worth $570, or more. they will have to do better than that. jon: turkey closer to financial meltdown and the lira, falling to a record low. president erdogan failing to stem the route. >> we don't have the minimum of difficulties, but we still suffer from an artificial financial pressure. >> you know, he has billed himself as the protector of his people. and what we are seeing now, according to him, is a financial attack. it is not a complete surprise that he cannot step down from that role as protector. what you heard in the speech this morning is that this is a foreign plot, i'm your protector and i will put an end to thi

a hand. simon casey, thank you for the boots on the ground crop report. let's get into the ring. joining me is will, the c.e.o. of granite shares. it is a commodity focused etf companyy we are looking at the impact of the tariffs that america and china are imposing on each other. american penalties apply to $16 billion worth of chinese goods, including automobiles, factory goods, and metals. we have not seen a lot of concern in the markets about what we are seeing on the tariff front. so we have not seen gold catching a bid at all this year, despite some of geo political tension and risk from tariffs. is gold as a safe haven broken right now? >> it is not broken, but it has definitely been muted, as you say, because while you have had a lot of potential news around tariffs and sanctions which , ordinarily you might expect to effect gold positively, that has been muted by a stronger dollar. that has been the main thing. julie: the dollar has just overwhelmed any other factor. is that going to continue to be the case? that we will see a similar trade where everything trades off the dollar versus the other factors ?overwhelmed any other factor. is that going to continu

. >> even in a normal buyout situation this would be sort of rough because the c.e.o. has a huge amount of carom and new over the companyhard o have an arms' length transition. this is worse for two reasons, first, because ealone musk is so central to tesla. if he were to resign or be pushed out, you would imagine the stock price would fall because a lot of people believe he's crucial to their future. a majority of the board members have very close connections to elon musk so it's hard to imagine how they're going to valuate this transaction unbiasedly. we're not seeing any deals right now. it's not clear there's enough funding to make the original deal possible so we may be getting ahead of ourselves a little bit. emily: david, you have an must have na about been revealing that the saudis would be such a big part of this but we're under an administration looking to limit foreign money. how does this affect this big wrinkle? >> the saudis already have close to 5% in tesla and the sovereign wealth fund would, according to elon, take on a bigger stake to help them take the company private and he's opinion talking to them

a public company. if you want your employees to be effective, you want to be as transparent as possible. obviously social media encourages more transparency. a lot of c.e.othrive in a transparent world, and they can tweet about their companies, their customer successes. but there are legal constraints. when something goes wrong, everybody remembers with hindsight the disadvantages of transparency. emily: you are a former lawyer. keith: yes. emily: do you think elon musk went too far? keith: well -- emily: i can tell. you think he went too far. keith: there is a downside to the tweet. versus upside. for me, i look at tesla and i think it is a fairly valued company. it's a $51 billion company today and i wish all my portfolio companies were worth as much. it's not as if this company is being treated unfairly in the public markets. actually, it's quite well regarded in the public markets. emily: yet he seems to not like how it's being treated in the public markets. keith: that confuses me of -- a bit. i could see the case of tesla trading at $3 billion or $4 billion, and they're thinking, why are all these people irrationally attacking my company? but at $5
