Erik was fighting for his life in this conversation 😂

[@abaczan]

Ken is a philosopher rather than a successful hedge fund owner in this conversation 😂

iq of 100 interviewing iq of 200

[@charles8466]

Ken seems annoyed with the moderator

[@austinbenner]

110% chance that Nikki doesn’t beat Trump. I realize Ken doesn’t want to lose clients but I wish people would give their honest opinions on politics

[@jakedovey1586]

Why would he say anything. Would be business suicide.

[@mikeutube7888]

Great interview. Host: money money money? Ken Griffin: money money money!

[@seanpierre1338]

Niki Haley!??? Are you kidding me??? Cmon ken

[@HardHittingShorts]

He admits that his company front funs orders because if the SEC allows the auction then any market maker will front run the orders

[@gmllz]

The point made at 22:14 - 23:10 needs to be watched by every politician and educator in the United States.

[@rappinAPPLE]

This guy is literally stealing money from publicly listed companies. He should be in prison

[@stevenfish2634]

I love Ken Griffin. I love what he did for Illinois and what he is doing for Florida. I love what he has done for his investors, and for the DTCC. He has done a great job for politicians and for the wealthy. I love how much he and the SEC work together to ensure fairness in the market. I love how transparent and honest he even when before the judicial system.

WTF 💩 U SMOKE-N

[@ItzGanked]

absolutely shook kenny g doesn't know the diff between deep learning and general ML, they use tree boosting for financial modeling generally not transformers or other deep learning architectures that have gained popularity as of late

[@ItzGanked]

obviously a simplification but it would have been nice to hear some discussion on how latest advancements have impacted citsec instead of 'we have been using stats for years'

[@zachcombs9103]

What do you mean by tree boosting?

[@evelynramos445]

Washington needs to audit itself!

[@apexsynthesis1]

literally @@jmanjr

[@jmanjr]

@@apexsynthesis1 the debt spiral is well underway, nobody seems to know or understand. Ken here made mention of it to Star this interview, but I think this is just the surface.

[@apexsynthesis1]

well look at the interviewers defensiveness when he talks about it always trying to undermine his claims....it is exactly what you said its a spiral and only getting worse with the amount of money we are sending for wars that we are not involved in @@jmanjr

[@zachcombs9103]

What did he do with the dtcc?

[@teknologist7914]

Another banger. Talks about the waitress who can't go to work because the shop's closed during covid, but then in the AI part quips about hundreds of workers not demanding benefits because they've been replaced by AI (and have lost their jobs). Which is it, do you care for the people or are you just in love with sponging up those sweet stimmy checks.

[@timothyosullivan6793]

Please refute this by thus placing a proper macro economic plan for this great orb into existence. Usury or the hoarding of money by financiers or rentier capitalists has always led to the destruction of robust market places in so many Nations.😢This is just so sad. When hasn’t there been so many terrible wars and their underlying crimes to have to deal with!

Thank you, sir!

[@mediajunky4106]

Ken’s cadence is that of a conman. Love how he just generalizes about the 99% like he knows us.

[@STELLASCUTENESS]

You don’t improve K-12 education until an entire culture rejects equity, DEI, and the rest of that toxic brew that produces the “soft racism of low expectations” and the resulting abandonment of personal responsibility and the consequences that come with it. Racism is not to blame for an entire minority group that, on balance, has no functional mathematics skills. Bigotry is not to blame for the utter destruction of the nuclear family. Systemic educational inequity is not to blame for intellectual laziness when the knowledge of the entire world fits into the pocket of practically every single human in America. Progressivism may be in vogue, but reality is redefining it as the infantile naivety of overly emotional, underachieving populists.

Wow, interviewer is as biased as the owner of the network he works for, where is the last and only unbiased interviewer in America if there is one left!

[@skibowu]

mental health is important.....haha

[@Miss_jayyne]

This man is so interesting to me. I think he’s one of the smartest people (finance+math, but more financially) I’ve ever listened to. He doesn’t want to be mistaken for someone giving financial advice, so he kind of leaves things vague/open ended. A month ago, I found this frustrating, because I wanted to hear HIM speak, but he’d be open to scrutiny and a lot of lawsuits. I will say, there’s a side to him a lot people have never seen. An interesting side (in my opinion). I’ll keep updating this as I listen to his interview. At 6:50, he’s address the country’s spending. While I agree with him, I realize America is not spending as a citizen but as a country. Over the last few years, I’ve come to terms that America is a Country. It looks after the interest of the country and not the citizens. One of the reasons USA is so powerful is it’s political influence. War is a good example. It might not have the most money or misled, but it has the most influence. It spends on allies.

[@Miss_jayyne]

11:00 so well said! Before he responded, I objected to the question. I am in love with Ken’s mind! (Without sounding weird).

[@Miss_jayyne]

This was a good interview. Although, I feel like you were “kissing ass” I think Ken is a smart man and could hold his own. I feel like there haven’t been many interviewers who have challenged his thinking.

[@Miss_jayyne]

This interview has been so interesting one, including the Elon Musk one. I think Ken is very “polished” and careful. I still enjoy His entire thought process from a business, political and personal perspective.

[@rappinAPPLE]

What about the part how he's facilitating the extraction of liquidity away from the markets. Naked shorting companies until they get delisted. He's a thief.

[@bryanbanks9995]

Great interview with Ken Griffen.

[@professorbland]

I guess he had spaghettios for lunch

[@magicsaint]

Complains about the debt but the same debt over the years have made him and his pals multi-billionaires. These are the same people that vote for lower taxes when tax is the main source to reduce the debt burden. Sure welfare can be reduced too but ridiculous spending on military and wars should not be given that much priority over welfare.

[@54m3u1]

Arrogant moderation - strayed from meaningful conversation to exert political biases (obvious drive for content)

[@thelastbison2241]

What a contrast, he is completely intelligent yet supporting DeSantis and Trump.

[@Ram-hu-mai]

sure, uncle biden has made america great....look at yourself......do you have what you wanted in life?

Yep cause he sees through the bs and disinformation. On the other hand you are not

[@kayrealist9793]

We need a president of the USA like Ken Griffin.

What are you smoking

[@tomprieto9115]

Griffin is a man of times.

[@LukeMahan-xr4xx]

🤮🤮🤮🤮

[@henrywidjaja9631]

Erik when he speaks about China is all about narrating them to be bad and evil. Very boring. Its good to see Ken put Erik's small brain into his pocket. Bloomberg need to step up on finding good quality moderators and stop with all their anti-china narration. Its getting boring and plain stupid.

Anything new or same old nonsense?

Raises taxes on billionaires, deficit solved

[@kokits]

Drop in the water....Total wealth held by billionaires is $4.48 trillion. The federal government spent $6.13 trillion in 2022

[@jmanjr]

Spoken like a complete idiot. You could tax their income 100% and it wouldn’t make literally a dent into the debt.

[@bluefairy9683]

When a person with IQ 150 talks to a person with IQ 100, that’s the result we are watching now ….sorry for the interviewer

[@WhatsOnYourMind.]

Almost every Gen-Z and millennial is again this man concerning the stocks. Listening to him is like listening to Bill Gates. Need I say anymore.

[@WhatsOnYourMind.]

Ken is not to be trusted. Look up his history.

[@akaFuel]

GRIFFIN may have had his highs in life (and most definitely very talented people around him helped with that too), but he is also a product of a very favourable time (an unprecedented period in terms of low capital costs) as he came to these highs (the ECONOMIST recently published a brilliant piece about the factor of luck for anyone's career or downfall). Some of his perspectives sounded awfully unreflected. But when it came to his political views; what the actual F. Instead of making a fair point that the justice system needs to do its work, he falls into the same pro-Trump rhetoric of those who are afraid of losing turf in the future. It's disgusting and painful to watch at the end. Again, GRIFFIN may have been a successful hedge fund manager, but that success -regardless of the fund's volume- certainly didn't bestow sound political views on him. (I think SCHATZKER's body language towards the end speaks for itself; much kudos!)

[@damiandormer7868]

Bingo. It's common for people in the industry to dodge voting questions but in this case blind Freddy can see Ken's voting for the GOP candidate. Spending under Trump necessary, now the deficit is intolerable (despite the obvious economic benefits). There's also this hand wavey explanation that people aren't happy even though Biden has cleanly navigated a treacherous economic period with solid sometimes bipartisan legislation, mostly by putting an end to trickle down economics rhetoric & policy. So the usual economic indicators aren't sufficient? There's other GOP talking points like nuclear which is impractical/expensive/slow. Though he's certainly right about China & stem and a number of other items. The answer about AI at 24:30 is jankey garbage, ask him about finance, he's not Elon. In America it is usually a dumb question (who are you voting for?) because it's so polarised but in this case it's essentially how crazy/greedy are you? Because one is old but a competent administrator and the other is just as old but tried to stay in power & might lower taxes again. So in this case it's a fair question and Ken gave him crazy eyes 😵‍💫 Let's hope Biden uses the loan forgiveness policy again because (lots of potentially voting) people can see he's serious about it.

[@jmanjr]

Ah, sorry your suffering from TDS, your writing language speaks that for itself ;)

[@gcg8187]

i agree that even during very unfavorable times, certain people find amazing career opportunities
