About this episode

Bloomberg’s Caroline Hyde and Ed Ludlow discuss OpenAI becoming the largest startup after it closed a deal allowing current and former employees to sell shares at a $500 billion valuation. Plus, Tesla's vehicle sales jumped to a worldwide record in the third quarter as US buyers got in before US tax credits expired. And Microsoft has inked more than $33 billion in commitments to neocloud providers, as it aims to cope with a shortage of AI data center capacity.
