Salesforce's Benioff, Oscar Health's Bertolini, and Maye Musk Share Under-the-Radar Business Insights
Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said the company's operating unit leaders have "radically changed" how they run their businesses in the 90 days since rolling out new AI technology, adding that customers now see value "almost instantaneously" rather than waiting years.
Oscar Health CEO Mark Bertolini predicted major changes to employer-sponsored healthcare, suggesting companies will shift toward a defined-contribution model where employees receive a set amount to purchase their own plans. He said 94% of all employers and 72% of very large employers are now considering this alternative, with early adoption already visible among small and mid-sized companies.
Maye Musk, mother of Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, discussed her son's future ambitions during an interview promoting her new book, "Timeless," saying she believes "he would really like it in the city of Mars."
