Cartographer’s Log Live: Stupid Succession

A recording from Evan Shapiro's live video

This is the full video of my Stupid Succession livestream - with a detailed explainer of the current state of the Paramount/WBD acquisition deal.

In this video, I break down:

  • Why the Disney/Fox deal is a great case study for why Ellison’s deal will fail, even it’s allowed to close;

  • Why Larry Ellison doesn’t have the cash to close the deal;

  • The actual antitrust law governing the AG’s case;

  • The competing AG case from Iowa and Montana;

  • The odds for each of the potential outcomes in this case;

  • And who might swoop in to buy the WBD parts if the deal falls through.

If you’ve been wondering what’s actually going on withthe deal, want a factual breakdown of the actual law involved, and/or a complete handicap for all the potential outcomes in this ongoing saga, go no further, this video is for you.

Thank you to Eda, Neil S Braun, Ted Miller, Jon Giegengack and many others for tuning in live.

Join me for my next live video in the app.

Cheers.
