TikTok Shop moved $4.4 billion in beauty and wellness. Saks wants $9 billion by 2030. Castle claimed $1.4 billion and was worth $16 million. This week is about which numbers actually hold up.Three companies put big figures on the table. Only one of them earned it, and even that one comes with an asterisk. Rick Watson and Nick Kaplan have a thought provoking conversation on these 3 stories. TikTok Shop: reach without trustRoughly $4.4 billion in wellness and beauty sold since the 2023 launchBrand executives call it a "mafia" because of the traffic it forces through them. The honest scorecard is the halo it throws onto Amazon and Ulta, not the checkouts happening inside the appAwareness is the strength. The weakness is trust: missing shipping confirmations, sellers you can't place, a buying experience that still feels provisionalThe Watson Weekly Weekend edition is sponsored by Avalara. Its Agentic Tax and Compliance automates behind-the-scenes work for ecommerce brands, enabling accurate checkout tax calculation, clearer tariff and duty visibility, and fewer customer surprises. Avalara integrates with platforms like Shopify, BigCommerce, and WooCommerce.

Debt cut 75% to about $1.2 billion$500 million in fresh financing, paired with a mandate to reach $9 billion in GMV by 2030The model that got Saks here is still intact: leveraged, low-margin, carrying expensive real estate. And the vendors who went unpaid earlier this year are not feeling generousCaaStle (Gwynnie Bee): a $1.4 billion fictionThe rental subscription business once known as Gwynnie Bee was sold as a $1.4 billion company. The real number was around $16 millionFounder Christine Hunsicker admitted to securities fraud in MarchThe part that should worry everyone: professional investors and auditors missed invented financials. One investor was reportedly paid off to stay quiet, and audit documents from a recognizable firm were falsifiedWhat ties these together is how cheap a number is to produce and how hard the thing underneath it is to fake. TikTok has the reach but hasn't built the trust. Saks has the target but not yet the model to hit it. CaaStle had neither and sold the story anyway. The question worth sitting with: how many of the valuations you read this week are closer to Saks, and how many are closer to CaaStle?

This week on the show: Todd reports from inside the Oakland federal courthouse where Elon Musk is suing OpenAI, Sam Altman, and Microsoft, with jury selection revealing just how hard it is to find anyone neutral about Musk these days. Meanwhile, Microsoft and OpenAI restructured their partnership the same morning the trial began — and less than 24 hours later, OpenAI's models landed on Amazon's cloud. Then, Microsoft and Amazon both dropped blockbuster earnings, with Azure up 40%, AWS posting its fastest growth in 15 quarters, and the two companies combining for nearly $400 billion in capital spending this year alone. We also discuss a wild Semafor story about a serial entrepreneur who handed his entire life over to an AI agent that now emails people as him, sets up meetings without his knowledge, and even ordered him a computer. Plus, John tells the story of how Seattle's Flying Fish Partners — a VC firm with less than $250 million under management — hustled its way into a $1.1 billion seed round alongside Sequoia, Google, and Nvidia. And we tackle the quickly debunked rumor that Mark Zuckerberg and Tim Cook might buy the Seahawks.

Billionaire investor Vinod Khosla suggested as many as 125 million people should be exempt from paying income taxes in the coming decades as artificial intelligence gets closer to eliminating a mass number of jobs, suggesting the government make up the lost revenue by relying on capital gains tax. Key Facts Khosla wrote on X the AI boom will require a "rethink of capitalism and equity" and suggested increasing capital gains taxes would allow the government to eliminate "the bottom 125 million taxpayers from the tax rolls."  He also suggested eliminating certain tax breaks—like tax-free borrowing against unrealized gains—would help to make up the deficit.  There are only about 160 million taxpaying Americans, and Khosla's plan would exempt almost 80% of them from income taxes.  Last year, Khosla suggested it may be necessary to implement a universal basic income for lower-income Americans whose jobs are eliminated due to AI automation, predicting 80% of jobs will soon be handled by AI.  A video Khosla shared this week highlighted dozens of jobs being replaced by AI in his venture capital firm's portfolio, including personal assistants, financial analysts, doctors, accountants, customer service agents and more.  Big Number 92 million. That's how many jobs will be displaced by AI by 2030, according to the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025. Key Background Economic experts have been warning about the loss of jobs due to artificial intelligence automation for years. More than 50,000 jobs cuts in 2025 were blamed on AI, according to career services firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas, with another 20,000 in 2023 and 2024. Aneesh Raman, LinkedIn's chief economic officer, said in a New York Times op-ed that AI is destroying the “bottom rungs of the career ladder,” eliminating entry level jobs and significantly cutting into the hiring of recent college graduates. Tech billionaires like Elon Musk and Bill Gates, as well as leaders like Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman, have all suggested artificial intelligence is on its way to automating a significant portion of white-color work and, in some scenarios, could eliminate the need for traditional jobs altogether. Last May, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei predicted AI could drive unemployment up 10% to 20% in the next five years. Women and people of color are expected to be disproportionately impacted by AI job automation. Crucial Quote “In my little group chat with my tech CEO friends, there's this betting pool for the first year there is a one-person billion-dollar company, which would've been unimaginable without AI. And now [it] will happen,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman saidlast year.

Federal Election Commission filings for the first quarter of 2026 showed that billionaires Miriam Adelson and George Soros were the biggest donors backing GOP and Democratic super PACs, respectively, ahead of this year's midterms, while billionaire Marc Andreessen's venture capital firm poured $25 million into a pro-artificial intelligence Super PAC. KEY FACTS According to the filings published on Wednesday night, GOP megadonor Adelson donated $30 million to the Senate Leadership Fund, the major super PAC backing Republican Senate candidates. Filings made by the GOP-aligned Congressional Leadership Fund—which backs GOP House candidates—showed Adelson had given the super PAC $10 million, bringing her overall contribution to $40 million so far this year. Billionaire George Soros, one of the biggest backers of Democratic candidates, donated $50 million to his Democracy PAC in January through an associated group, the Fund for Policy Reform. The Democracy PAC then donated $9 million to Senate Majority PAC—which backs Democratic Senate candidates. FORBES VALUATION According to Forbes' Real Time Billionaire's list, Adelson's total fortune is worth $37.3 billion, making her the 58th richest person in the world. In comparison Soros' net worth stands at $7.5 billion as of Thursday morning. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT FUNDING FROM SILICON VALLEY ?Leaders from Silicon Valley launched the pro-AI super PAC Leading the Future in August last year, with venture-capital firm Andreessen Horowitz among its main backers. Wednesday's filings showed that the venture firm donated $25 million to the political action committee, with $12.5 million each coming from co-founders Benjamin Horowitz and billionaire Marc Andreessen. BIG NUMBER $27 million. That is how much Democratic Texas Senate Candidate James Talarico has raised in the first three months of the year so far, according to the New York Times. Talarico's strong numbers appear to reflect Democratic optimism about the race in deep-red Texas, as the GOP has been besieged by infighting among its top two candidates. SURPRISING FACT Filings for a Win for America, a super PAC backed by sports betting platforms, showed it raised more than $40 million in the first three months of the year. FanDuel contributed $19.5 million while DraftKings' holding company, DK Crown Holdings, donated 17.5 million. An additional $4 million came from Fanatics' subsidiary FBG Enterprises Opco.
