Prof G Markets

Scott Galloway and Ed Elson unpack President Trump’s investigation into Jerome Powell, with Scott explaining why he believes the goal is to sideline Powell entirely, not just remove him as Fed chair. Ed shares which part of the public’s support for Powell surprised him most. They then dig into the surge in metals in light of Trump’s moves on Venezuela, Greenland, and Iran. And finally, they break down the week’s biggest AI headlines and how they’re reshaping the power dynamics in the AI race.
