The only difference between Jack Ma and Elon in that interview is that Elon's bullshit sounds smart to us and Jack's doesn't. Every CEO's real job is to pander to their audience and hype up the company. That might mean repeating "HTML5 AI Encryption Blockchain" over and over again to roomfuls of investors and shareholders.

Yea the takeaway I had was that both of them were spewing some pretty stupid stuff, though Jack Ma's sounded more like propaganda.
