Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway Unpack Elon Musk’s Messy Breakup
Pivot found plenty to discuss in the gap between a familiar brand and what its owners do with it. Across eight uploads, Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway moved from Nike's business troubles to the Skydance name, with an unexpectedly late arrival adding a different kind of interruption.
In "Scott Galloway: This is Where Nike Went Wrong," Galloway looks at how Hoka and On gained ground and why he thinks Nike can recover. The media discussion asks a related question from another direction: what happens when a combined Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery takes the Skydance name? "Is This Rebrand a Mistake?" gives that debate its own shorter upload, while CNN's future and Netflix's growth problem feature in the longer Tuesday conversation.
That Tuesday episode, "Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway Unpack Elon Musk's Messy Breakup," was the week's most watched new upload, reaching roughly 220,000 views. But Friday's episode now carries the most daily viewing momentum. Jessica Tarlov opens alongside Galloway before Swisher joins, and the separate clip of Swisher's mid-recording arrival is also among the channel's busiest videos.
The channel added about 1,000 subscribers over seven days, even as its current daily viewing runs below its usual pace. Its weekly views were close to those of similarly sized The News Agents; Spot On with Link Lauren had a substantially larger viewing week. For Pivot itself, the full conversations remain the bigger draws, with both main episodes attracting much larger audiences than their accompanying excerpts.
