so what you make of those statements from musk? first, for - statements from musk? are not on - statements from musk? first, for| individuals who are not on twitter, i want to clarify communication notes, that relies on other users to help explain, to help really clarify any information online. second, i think it is quite interesting that elon musk would have that opinion, of course he would come he owns twitter. it wouldn�*t be in his best interest to say there is any spam or bullying or disinformation which has increased, or we have seen a rise in it, which we have. and lastly, it is interesting he is saying this while choosing not to participate in this voluntary framework that would re—legitimise eradicating misinformation. i think again, this is another example of elon musk. but how committed you think musk is to cracking down on disinformation on twitter? i cracking down on disinformation on twitter? ~ . , cracking down on disinformation on twitter? ~' . , . ., ' cracking down on disinformation on twitter? ~' . , . ..f ,.. twitter? i think he has laid off so m

elon musk says that he has found a new chief executive to lead twitter.sk did not name the platform's new boss but said "she" would start in six weeks at which point he would become executive chairman and chief technology officer. our silicon valley correspondent james clayton has more. well, first of all, i think it is important to mention that just because elon musk has tweeted something doesn't necessarily mean it is actually true. you may remember i interviewed elon musk last month and i asked him who is going to be the next chief executive and he told me he had already made a dog chief executive. so it is sometimes difficult to know whether he is joking or not. it does seem like he is actually being serious this time. that would be a really significant moment for twitter. first of all, he said that the new chief executive is a she. i think that is really important, because the vast majority of tech bosses in silicon valley and elsewhere are men. so that would be a very interesting development. and it will be very interesting to know exactly what the

ed: elon musk as tweeted in the last 15 minutes. he says i am excited to welcome linda as the new ceo of twitter. there you have it, official confirmation. he tagged her and said she will focus primarily on this is operations while he focuses on product design and new technology. looking forward to transitioning this into the everything at. guest: he has talked a lot about this model of having and everything app. it will be interesting to see if he can it's -- execute on the idea. weeks ago, he put twitter under a holding company called x. he wants to make twitter an app that can do everything. caroline: i want to reflect on the messiness of all of this. if we reflect on what has just happened to comcast universal, they are about to go to that advertising community, having upfronts, pitching online offerings. the main woman to do that is just exited in erratic and are. -- manner. >> it has to be difficult. she was integral to nbc efforts like peacock which is the supported streaming service. then even huge events like the super bowl

people matter. >>> news on elon musk from elon musk phil lebeau has been listening in on the conferencea, a few final questions from shareholders. one of them was, hey, there's lots of rumors out there that you are going to step down as ceo of tesla, is that true elon said no, he is not planning on stepping down he plans on remaining ceo of tesla. and then, unprovoked, he said, why? which is, he believes that the development of artificial intelligence, a.i., needs to be done responsibly and needs to be incorporated into future products at tesla and elsewhere responsibly. and he said, i got to stick around and make sure that happens. so, that question has been f floating out there for some time, would he say at some point, eh, i've had enough, i'm going to move into a different role he says no, that's not happening. >> all right, phil, interesting that the stock is not really reacting too much right now on that headline. phil lebeau. afterhours session highs, but not really much of a move, i don't know, what do you think? i would have thought it would have seen a bigger pop >> to the ext

can she peacefully coexist with elon musk. is should a six-month relationship, or could it be long-term? >> i think it could be long-term. musk has proven, to his credit, to be able to work with powerful women. gwynne shotwell is the woman who runs spacex even though it is technically elon musk's company. she is the day-to-day manager of that company and makes it work. i can see something happening with a strong person like linda yaccarino at the top of twitter. you mentioned at the top that she ran advertising, and that is the key here. twitter makes its money in advertising. it wants to get into media even more than it currently does, and that is also, generally speaking, ad-supported. so they need to undo the damage musk did with advertisers on the platform and bring them back, and really she is known for doing just that. >> what's yaccarino's reputation not just here but across the industry? >> it's very good. she has a reputation of having a good touch with advertisers and executives and has brought a lot of them in. agai

that is what elon musk guarantees. now elon musk and donald trump, their relationship has sour. you go back to last summer. it was elon musk who on twitter posted after myra flores ran in the special house election in texas and won said she was the first republican he had ever voted for. that was the summer of 2022. at that point a day later, he was asked on twitter by somebody who would you prefer? 2024? i prefer desantis. pointing to the fact it's time for donald trump to go off in the sunset. it's those remarks that set donald trump off on truth social. he then posted a photo of musk with him inside of the oval office saying it was just during my time in the white house that elon musk would get down on his knees and beg me for perks and subsidies and suddenly i'm out of the white house and now he's thrown me to the curb. that's year, he called him a bs artist. ron desantis is not dumb for turning to somebody who has a megaphone that's unparalleled to anybody else in this country. >> musk isn't shy about having admiration for desantis. brendan, stay with me. the former preside

musk says he's looking forward to working with linda. comcast president mike cavanaugh announced her departure saying he's grateful for her leadership and the innovative team she's built, saying linda has made countl countless contributions to the company. just a month ago musk worked to appeal to advertisers and he and linda were at a conference earlier this week. this comes ahead of nbc universal's ad presentation in new york on monday a lot of change before a very important time for nbc universal and its ad negotiations. >> steve, you made the obvious observation here when musk made twitter he made comments about how advertising wasn't going to be the best business model he tried to do subscriptions and twitter blue and it was a nightmare. is this an indication that twitter has to be ad driven? >> this has been the problem since musk took over the push and pull with advertisers seeing what's happening on the platform. if musk maintains the cto role, he'll be dictating a lot of what happens on the platform that advertisers are worried

about 1/3. 1/3 of what elon musk paid. easy for me to laugh.k bought twitter last year for $44 billion and even the billionaire entrepreneur, the numbers are brutal, the recent estimate puts evaluation at $15 billion, $29 billion less than the selling price. the valuation comes from fidelity's valuation of its own steak. the social media platform has seen an 89% drop in advertising revenue but you know what? elon musk carries on, he smiles, he makes jokes but that is a lot of money. lauren: and does it on twitter but maybe a lot of advertisers are not there anymore. thank you. more experts, 75 additional experts issuing another warning about ai. they say the rising technology could lead to human extinction. kelly o'grady is in los angeles. how can a computer lead to the extinction of the human race? >> reporter: very dramatic like the terminator or something, but the fears we are creating and trusting technology that could think for itself and that could be really scary. a number of ai leaders signed on to that warning and it said mitigating th

criticism of musk and twitter.icle declares twitter is a far-right social network. the author of that article, charlie worsele, joins me now. charlie, long-time reader, first-time caller. musk has been sharing conspiracy theorys for months. why make this declaration now? >> well, i think that you can just see over the last couple of weeks, honestly, you know, despite what elon musk is doing with his own tweets, right, you've seen the platform as basically -- like a safe haven for people who either lost their seyndicate on cable news or demode de demonitized on twitter, like tucker carlson, who lost his tenure on fox news. those people have seen twitter as a safe place to go, and perhaps to share revenue. and elon musk seems to be, you know, welcoming them in with open arms. yesterday was sort of the last sort of making all the subtexts texts where, you know, he's inviting ron desantis to come and launch a political campaign there. so i think, you know, this isn't about the content that you can necessarily see. you

run tomorrow night during an event on twitter with ceo, elon musk. it's part of what sources say is the desantis team's unconventional approach and donald trump's team has taken notice and is preparing a counterattack ahead of the announcement. jessica dean joins us from miami. most candidates announce their campaigns during a speech, a rally. why twitter? >> reporter: it's an interesting question and it's one so many people are asking right now. off officially, desantis' people and team not saying why they chose this, but if you talk to those people who work with him, they really believe that he is an unconventional candidate. as you mentioned, they want the campaign that really matches up with him. they want to reach people in different ways and go about this differently. so clearly, this is one way to get attention and to do something quite different right out of the gate. so what we know is he will sit down with elon musk tomorrow and talk through some of this. elon musk confirming that today, but stopping short of endorsing him in any way or say

>> hum. >> and bail out elon musk effectively?, it is a really interesting idea i am not entirely sure i don't have reporting on that. >> no >> i think, look when you look at the scenarios here, to julia's point, clearly there could be some sort of alliance made between elon musk and rupert murdoch you know, in a way they're two kind of media visionaries, musk more on the tech side and rupert on the media mogul side of things there could be some form of alliance there particularly as both of the media and for the twitter tech entities want to see some sort of influence in these elections. >> you'll be there at sun valley, julia, i am sure could happen there >> i will indeed it will be interesting to see how these relationships play out. one thing for sure is elon musk wants eyeballs and this as pretty good way to get them. >> you heard it here first, ladies and gentlemen. >> i'm looking at the market caps fox's market cap is about $15 billion. didn't twitter buy twitter for 45 >> 45 million. >> that tells you already the valuation

mr musk's tesla electric _ china in three years.lectric vehicle _ china in three years. mr musk's tesla electric vehicle company | tesla electric vehicle company has its largest factory in shanghai. china is its second—biggest market after the united states. beijing released a statement which focused on trying to improve us trade ties with china, courting elon musk as saying he opposes decoupling and breaking chains. the disgraced entrepreneur elizabeth holmes has arrived at a us prison to begin an 11 year sentence. she reported to the facility in texas after a court rejected her request to remain free on bail. ms holmes was convicted of fraud last year for duping some of the world's richest investors into backing her failed blood testing company, theranos. the firm was once valued at $9 billion. but its technology never worked and it collapsed in 2018. ms holmes has appealed against her sentence. later today, we'll find out how the indian economy performed in the first three months of the year. it's predicted to have expanded aroun

they said elon musk was dead when he was alive.re not systematic trustworthy bits of ai. 20 years from now, we will look back and say they used ai that was that unreliable? what were they thinking? ed: what do you want to happen next? you are quite complementary of the hearing itself, it being bipartisan. there is a concrete next step for lawmakers or regulators to take, what does it look like? guest: i think the next step is to figure out what regulation would look like. i think we probably need a cabinet level agency and we should start drafting plans for how that would work. there's lots of complications in terms of how it would work with existing agencies and internationally. we should start taking the consensus we have and represent what that would look like as actual legislation. ed: you talked about the need for a global regulator a global agency. do you recognize a multiple speed approach like what china is doing when it comes to the regulation and development of ai technology? guest: i think we haven't opportunity to do so

but elon musk decides he wants to call that into question. why?nounced, my former colleague linda yaccarino, who's an ad sales genius, she's going to come in and be the ceo of a company. why would he then just roll the dice on nonsense like this? >> like psyops, that kind of thing? saying it's fake an all part of a conspiracy? because he's very, he is steeped in this stuff, it looks like. i don't think he's playing around. i don't think he is just saying what he wants. i think he's starting to believe this stuff. as you know from covering this, misinformation ultimately grabs peoples heads and squeezes it dry, essentially. so what he is doing is what is in his head. where he has been moved. you can call it red pill, if not whatever you want but he actually, i don't think he would say these things unless he believed him and everyone thinks he's killing people, but it has moved to an ugly place, the soros, it was ugly months or months ago. we've been talking about this for months, whether he was attacking paul pelosi after he got beaten, why would a

i don't know if that's what happened with elon musk or not. maybe he just had a big audience. >> we had a huge audience. it did, it was the biggest they'd ever have. it did break the twitter space. so we're really excited with the enthusiasm. >> laura: joining us now charlie hurt opinion editor at the washington times, opinion editor. charlie who really got the bigger black eye with the launch, governor desantis or just twitter? i mean, desantis, you know, i think acquitted himself pretty well there, but, i mean, this was 21 minutes of pain before we actually heard anything. >> yeah, it really was. especially -- yeah. especially there at the beginning, it sounded like a bunch of college kids in a frat house trying to figure out how to work the zoom call. it didn't, didn't take off all that well. but, you know, honestly, i do think that. >> thatly largely it's probably a benefit for twitter and for elon musk in that he has demonstrated that he does believe in giving a platform to republicans, and the best place to sort of gauge that is to liste

takara small, what you make of those statements from elon musk?nication notes are, so that relies on other users to help explain, to help really clarify any information that is online. second of all, i think it is quite interesting that elon musk would have that opinion. of course he would, he owns twitter. it would not be in his best interest to to say that there is any scam or bulling or trolling or disinformation has increased — we have seen a rise in it, which we have, and lastly, i think it is interesting he is saying this while choosing not to participate in this voluntary framework that would really legitimise eradicating misinformation. i think this is again just another example of elon musk... how committed to you think? it is interesting exactly what you said, how committed do you think elon musk is to actually cracking down on disinformation on twitter? ithink... just we have seen he has laid off so many members of the staff, including the communications department. i do not see how he can be fully committed to it while also not adherin

what i would like about elon musk is that he is cancel proof.e with the one person maybe just more than one and like chapelle to come at them, but elon musk even more so come after him. he is willing to do interviews that's a lot more than some of the else that we can mention it was supposed to be the leader of the free world he never talk to the press. i think the fact that he can't be canceled means yeah i'll come and answer your questions. you better go into the interview prepared. the question about the hunter biden laptop is also a key one because i know exactly what made elon musk the straw that broke the camel's back at them in them so you know what? on its existing over. it might've been at issue. he knows that issue very well. you better have your game face on. >> game face indeed. dr. brings out a point that he is noncancelable and is kind of sobering but depressing thought that the only way you might be able to be truly free is to be so rich it doesn't matter it's only billionaires it's like f you money. but none of us have that. >> i

we'll begin with the musk interview.avid, just remarkable and really a privilege that we got that much time both on our end and his. >> very happy to have had the opportunity to speak to him for an hour. always things that you don't get to because his views and his everything is so wide-ranging. of course, sorry we didn't talk more about space or starlink, but what we did talk about, i thought, was fascinating, and i hope for our viewers as well, whether it was, as you heard, sort of his position in terms of, he's going to continue to tweet and tweet things that make a lot of people unhappy. he doesn't care. that's exactly what he said. we talked a great deal, though, about tesla, which i think jim is, perhaps, front and center for our viewers more than anything else as a company, coming right after the annual meeting, a little bit of news that we got into in terms of, he may start advertising, something he decided, as he said, in that moment, on the stage, which kind of goes to how it works to some extent there and then

also elon musk sat down with our david faber. he made comments about free speech against profits >>> then, a ukraine grain deal a deadline is coming up today. we're going to tell you what that could mean for the conflict over there in ukraine and also the global economy. >>> also looking at retail results, we're going to show you and talk to you about what home depot's results could mean for another big retailer reporting today before the bell. it is wednesday, may 18th -- may 17th, 2023, and you're watching "worldwide exchange" right here on cnbc. ♪ >>> good morning and welcome to "worldwide exchange. i'm frank holland. it is actually may 17th, by the way. let's take a look at the futures we saw the dow fall more than 1% looking at the futures right now, we are seeing they're green across the board at this point the dow jones would open up about 90 points hi higher the s&p and nasdaq opening slightly higher, but we also say it's early this morning the benchmark 10-year at 3.54% the 2-year yield back above 4% at 4.10% this mornin
