00:00In Europe there is a right-wing wind, there will be very important elections this year in the United States, in your country, there could be the situation in which Trump returns to be president. What do you imagine in November 24?
00:24First of all, I don't want to have to imagine a second Trump term. It will be a nightmare, not only for us Americans, but also for you Europeans, because he has no affinity for Europe.
00:42If he has a little affinity for Europe, it is for the East, for countries like Serbia, the East of Europe, he also always marries women from the East of Europe.
00:58So, I don't know what will happen in November with the American election. Please, for a new Biden term.
01:12In Italian newspapers you read things that probably do not correspond to reality. Michelle Obama is just a ball of her own.
01:21This is a rumor that I hear only in Italy, so we can say that if something happens in July or August and there is Michelle Obama, you can say that we have said it.
01:36But in reality in the United States you never hear it, largely because there is a regulation of the democratic process that does not create a small table where four or five people from the party choose the candidates. So there should be exceptional circumstances.
01:59Exceptional. It's just a matter of Biden's health.
02:01Just this.
02:03Speaking of presidents, Macron is in crisis, Putin is on the rise because his war against Ukraine continues. We left you two years ago with your appeal to Draghi to make an assessment and to go on the field. The best technicians do not challenge the polls. Why?
02:23The technicians do not participate in political processes at this time, for the most part, because it is a bit brutal. With social media, with the ecosystem of news and information, putting your feet on the field of politics, you put your feet in the mud.
02:50And if I can say, and it's not good, it's very negative, in my professional and social circle, for the most part, they don't want to touch politics. They want to make money, live well, but the politics of the best technicians do not include the best for the most part.
03:14But then the right-wingers come to power.
03:16First of all, I would say that we should not only think in terms of left-to-right. I think that the main binary of today's world is not right-to-left, but more open-to-closed.
03:32If we talk about technicians of the left or center-left, technicians of the right or center-right, neither one nor the other enters the political field for the most part. In fact, they are not all, but very often it is the space of another type of character, both left and right.
03:59From the point of view of innovation, there is a company that has surpassed Apple and Microsoft in stock market capitalization. Is the future really in chips?
04:11Yes and no. It is part of the future, but I would advise you to think in terms of this NVIDIA and these chips. This is an indication that innovation still works. NVIDIA was a start-up not long ago.
04:29I am 99% sure that none of you knew this brand six or seven years ago. Today it is the number one in the world and it is an indication that yes, you can imagine and invent the future.
04:52Don't say there is no more space, there is Apple, there is Amazon, there is Google, but look what happened with NVIDIA. It is an indication that yes, you can enter the field of innovation and literally create trillions of euros of value.
05:11And then you are an advisor of those who invest, but you can also invest in Italian food, right?
05:18First of all, I have an Italian soul, even if you hear this American accent, which is not my mother tongue. And yes, I am here not only for holidays, but I want to add a little value.
05:36Yes, I want to add a little value and yes, I invest in the field of food, but I also invest in quantum computing, which is one of the coolest and most advanced things in the world.
05:52So I am very, very optimistic about Italy. And I conclude with this, Antonello, you can innovate here in Italy. And if you think for a moment about Italian inventions made here on this peninsula, which we now call Italy.
06:08The first internal combustion engine in the world, the bank, the barometer, the programmable calculator, epidemiology, the lamp, the typewriter, the microscope, the motorcycle, the nitroglycerin, the glasses, the paracord, the personal computer, the prosthesis, the radio.
06:26One after the other, there is something in it. We talked at the beginning about intelligence and DNA. If there is something that indicates that there is something intelligent in this country and there is something special in the DNA, look at this list of Italian inventions.
06:52We hope to be able to maintain this tradition and make intelligent choices in the future. Alek, thank you, thank you very much.
06:58Thank you and thank you all.
