Today on Equity (https://techcrunch.com/podcasts/equity/) , we’re taking you to Austin, Texas, for South by Southwest, where Rebecca Bellan caught up with Dara Treseder, Chief Marketing Officer at Autodesk, and Mayor Matt Mahan of San Jose, to discuss how technology is transforming urban spaces and building the cities of the future. The panel (https://techcrunch.com/snippet/2978995/san-jose-wants-you-to-build-your-ai-startup-downtown/) dug into how cities today are using AI to improve traffic and safety, why digital twins can help make cities more resilient to climate disasters, and how cities can integrate data centers into the fabric of their urban landscapes, among other topics. It’s a timely discussion, especially in the wake of Autodesk laying off roughly 1350 workers (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-27/autodesk-to-cut-jobs-in-focus-on-boosting-profitability) —about 9% of their staff—following a restructuring to focus on cloud and AI initiatives.

State Senator Scott Weiner is back with SB 53, a new AI bill that strips away the most debated parts of last year’s failed legislation while keeping key whistleblower protections and a public cloud computing initiative called CalCompute. With the AI industry and even the federal government shifting away from AI safety regulation in favor of innovation, will the bill gain any traction?

Today on Equity (https://techcrunch.com/podcasts/equity/) , Julie Bort sits down with Ryan Hinkle (https://www.insightpartners.com/team/ryan-hinkle/) a Managing Director at Insight Partners, the giant New York-based venture capital firm that invests in tech worldwide. It has $90 billion in assets under management and just raised a new $12.5 billion fund. (https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/16/new-york-powerhouse-vc-insight-partners-nabs-another-12-5b-after-8b-in-exits/) The pair unpack the evolving landscape of startup ecosystems. They talk about the post-pandemic shift that saw many founders moving to cities like New York or Miami only for the rise of OpenAI and Cerebral Valley (https://techcrunch.com/2023/11/04/san-francisco-office-space-2/) and the accompanying AI boom to reignite San Francisco and Silicon Valley in general.  While some founders say that they are now relocating their companies to San Francisco (https://techcrunch.com/2024/08/25/in-2024-it-really-is-better-to-run-a-startup-in-san-francisco-according-to-data-and-founders-whove-relocated/#:~:text=In%202024%2C%20it%20really%20is,founders%20who've%20relocated%20%7C%20TechCrunch) , Hinkle disagrees with the necessity of doing so. He concedes that the Valley offers an unmatched talent pool but argues it also comes with steep costs and retention challenges, making it far from the only viable choice for startups. Listen to the full episode to hear more about: • Why startup success isn’t tied to a single location but rather to access to skilled, loyal, and affordable talent • How Silicon Valley’s abundance of opportunities creates a "mercenary” hiring culture, making employee retention difficult • The key differences between building in New York vs. Silicon Valley, including financial management and access to venture capital Equity will be back on Friday with our weekly news roundup, so don’t miss it!

Technology News Analysis Video: Trump Says He’ll Buy a Tesla to Help Musk

Play Video: Trump Says He’ll Buy a Tesla to Help Musk

US President Donald Trump said he’ll buy a new Tesla to support Elon Musk, after shares of the electric-car maker had their worst day in four years amid a growing backlash over Musk’s political allegiances.  Musk, who spent more than $250 million to help elect Trump and other Republicans and is now the face of the president’s efforts to cut the size of the US government, responded with a simple “Thank you.”  Barry Ritholtz, host of Bloomberg's "Masters in Business" podcast, expresses his dismay that Tesla bull and Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives is only now calling for the Tesla CEO to "step up" and lead the EV giant instead of focusing on his work with the Trump administration and DOGE. Barry speaks with Tom Keene and Paul Sweeney on Bloomberg Radio. -------- Like this video?

Tesla shares continued to slump. X was hit by sporadic outages, which Elon blamed on hackers. Even one of his SpaceX rockets blew up, raining debris and endangering passenger airliners. On this episode of the Elon, Inc. podcast, we discuss Musk's bad week. Listen to the full episode wherever you get your podcasts https://trib.al/G5aCDxU He may be the world’s richest person and a personal pal of Donald Trump, but even Elon Musk can have a bad week. Not only has Tesla stock continued to crater as consumers worldwide turn their back on the South Africa-born multibillionaire (some violently) but his right-wing social network X was hit by sporadic outages he blamed on hackers. Even one of his SpaceX rockets blew up, raining debris down on the Earth and endangering passenger airliners. A big part of Musk’s waning popularity is of course tied to his starring role in gutting the US government on behalf of Trump—and even there he’s not as loved as he once was. On this episode to discuss all of this are Bloomberg Businessweek senior writer Max Chafkin and Elon Musk reporter Dana Hull. Later, Bloomberg stocks reporter Esha Day talks about how the markets have been treating Musk of late #podcast #politics #trump
