E169: Elon sues OpenAI, Apple's decline, TikTok ban, Bitcoin $100K?, Science corner: Microplastics

In episode 169 of the All In podcast, Jason Calacanis, Chamath Palihapitiya, David Friedberg, and David Sacks discuss current events, starting with Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI for breach of contract, fiduciary duty, and unfair competition, focusing on OpenAI's shift from a non-profit, open-source model to a for-profit, closed-source venture. They explore the legal and tax implications, referencing the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's similar venture philanthropy model, and debate whether OpenAI's structure circumvents tax laws and enriches employees unfairly. The panel then shifts to Apple's antitrust issues in the EU, including a $2 billion fine and the termination of Epic Games' developer account, which leads to a broader discussion about Apple's future prospects, potential new products, and market share. They also discuss a bipartisan bill to ban TikTok due to data security concerns and the potential for the CCP to influence the platform's algorithm. Finally, the group touches on Bitcoin's resurgence, attributing it to the approval of Bitcoin ETFs and the upcoming halving event, and they discuss the alarming findings of microplastics accumulating in the human body and their potential health risks. The episode concludes with a discussion about the need to reduce plastic consumption.
