[00:00:16] Every day, Wall Street Journal reporters talk with the most powerful, influential, and interesting people. And now we're bringing some of those conversations directly to you. Are you going to build that $20,000 vehicle?
[00:00:29] No, because that market sucks.
[00:00:32] I think humanity is probably underperforming a little bit versus its potential.
[00:00:37] Number one, everyone is not going to need their own nuclear power plant to run their data centers. This whole energy fantasy.
[00:00:44] I'm Tim Higgins, a business columnist at the Wall Street Journal. And I spent more than two decades as a reporter writing about some of the biggest stories of a generation, from the Motor City to the nation's capital to Silicon Valley.
[00:00:55] And I'm Christopher Mims. I've been a tech columnist at the Journal for over a decade, bringing you stories about everything from brain implants and AI to EVs and bidets.
[00:01:07] We've been covering and challenging conventional wisdom in the business world.
[00:01:11] And now we're teaming up to ask tough questions of the leaders behind the bold-named companies found in the pages of the Journal every day.
[00:01:18] Are you sleeping on the factory floor yet?
[00:01:21] I try and manage things so that I don't have to, you know, but startups are intense.
[00:01:28] Introducing Bold Names, a new interview series from the Wall Street Journal.
[00:01:33] We'll be speaking to people like Peter Rawlinson, the CEO who says he's building the most technologically advanced electric cars on the planet.
[00:01:41] But is that enough to turn Lucid into a household name?
[00:01:44] I think it's going to be better, massively better than a Tesla Model Y.
[00:01:49] And hear from other notables like Salesforce CEO Mark Benioff, who says a lot of the AI being sold the hardest is a bust.
[00:01:57] Yes, you can do all of these things with AI.
[00:02:00] But this other part that we are all living in minority report?
[00:02:05] No, we're not there yet.
[00:02:07] Maybe we'll be there one day.
[00:02:12] Look for Bold Names in the Wall Street Journal's tech news briefing feed.
[00:02:16] The first episode drops Saturday, November 16th.
[00:02:19] For more information, we're on the website, not just about 100%-level equity report.
[00:02:20] What do you think?
[00:02:20] What do you think about now?
[00:02:21] Well, let me get out of the way.
