## Resource

Scott Galloway and Ed Elson break down Google’s $85 billion equity offering and explain why they see it as a smart strategic move. They share their predictions for SpaceX, Anthropic and OpenAI’s IPOs, and break down what could happen if the offerings flood the market with $400 billion. Then, they examine why fast-food franchises are struggling and debate whether the franchise model itself is part of the problem.
