Andrew Ross Sorkin joins The Rundown to break down the lessons of his new book 1929, and what the most devastating market crash over the last century tells us about the current AI economy. We talk power shifts between Wall Street, Washington, and billionaires — from the 1920s to today — and why there is no amount of 'F You Money' that can over-power President Trump's influence. Sorkin explains why Fed independence matters, how political pressure warped decisions in 1929, and what today’s bond market may be quietly signaling. Plus, a sharp debate on speculation, prediction markets, AI hype, and why the Dow remains relevant.
The EV hype cycle is over, tax credits are gone, and demand is cooling fast, yet Lucid Motors is doubling down. In this deep dive, we break down Lucid’s turbulent journey from battery startup to luxury EV maker, why production is rising even as losses mount, and how long its Saudi-backed runway really lasts. We examine the bull case around SUVs, battery tech, and a surprise robotaxi partnership with Uber — and the bear case facing an industry stuck in an EV winter. By the end, you’ll understand why 2026 may be the make-or-break year for one of the most ambitious EV companies on the road.
