NY Times reporter Nathaniel Popper reports that Facebook is looking to raise $1B from outside investors for its stablecoin/cryptocurrency. This would make the token appear less centralized, and it will be backed by a basket of foreign currencies. If succesful, a Facebook Stablecoin could be a huge new revenue growth driver & way to increase engagement across the platform. Let me know what you think in the comments!

Moonshot! Lyft should partner with Tesla & purchase a fleet of Model 3's to expand both its Green Mode & Driver Express (leasing) offering. This is a way for Tesla to get exposure to the exploding ride-sharing market before the Tesla Network launches. Do you think this will ever happen!?

Tesla reports deliveries of 63,000 units in Q1 2019 (+110%), consisting of 50,900 Model 3's & 12,100 Model S/X. This was below my expectations & shows that EV demand may not be as strong as Tesla/Elon originally anticipated. This hasn't changed my long-term belief in the story, but is undoubtably a near term setback. Watch until the end to hear my rant about why I think Tesla should raise capital.
