SoftBank’s Masa Son on Wins, Losses, & Billion Dollar Bets

In a surprise reversal, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that his EV company will no longer accept Bitcoin as payment for its cars. His move comes as concerns about crypto’s environmental impact ring louder and louder: 1 bitcoin transaction has the same carbon footprint as over 735,000 Visa transactions and over 55,000 hours on YouTube. In an exclusive interview, SoftBank founder and CEO Masayoshi Son speaks to Andrew Ross Sorkin about his winning--and losing--bets, from Uber, Alibaba, and DoorDash to WeWork. The legendary tech investor admits that he missed out on opportunities like Airbnb, and explains some of his investment philosophy. Plus, the Japanese billionaire reveals his own concerns about the Tokyo Olympics. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
