SpaceX IPO, Broadcom Crash & Anthropic Vs. OpenAI: The AI Bubble Explained | Andrew Ross Sorkin

June 16, 2026 · 44 min

Show notes

Journalist and founder of DealBook Andrew Ross Sorkin cuts through the hype to expose the high-stakes reality of the AI boom and how a single technology is currently holding up the entire US economy.


Drawing parallels to 1929, the dot-com era, and 2008, he unpacks a dangerous paradox: for AI's massive valuations to make sense, it must replace human labour, but if everyone loses their jobs, who's left to buy the products?


Andrew also makes a compelling case that history's greatest leaps in progress, from railways to Tesla and SpaceX, were born out of destructive, speculative frenzies. He shares what separates elite entrepreneurs: a healthy insecurity that drives relentless execution, paired with a lifelong curiosity that success usually kills.
