Nextt, Connie and Alex chat with <a href='https://www.bradleytusk.com/'>Bradley Tusk</a>, the CEO and founder of Tusk Ventures, which invests at the intersection of venture capital and regulation. Tusk has some interesting end-of-year predictions and thinks Elon Musk's management of Twitter could ultimately cost him much more than the $44 billion he paid for the social media platform.
