This week, I explain why Donald Trump’s second term could end in more economic pain than most think, discuss Elon Musk with The Atlantic’s CEO Nick Thompson, and talk about AI’s opportunities from the ground in Davos. Plus, your weekly rec from my dog Moose.
Regarding imposing high, if not crippling tariffs on China to force concessions, can’t they retaliate by refusing to buy US govt debt to force concessions by us? By all means be a tough negotiator but this approach seems like a fool’s game of chicken ruled by mutually assured destruction.
Interesting that no mention of Elon’s nazi infatuation is mentioned here. He doesn’t seem too climate forward these days either.
Trump doesn’t care about Ukraine either way - just wants power, money, revenge against everyone who reminds him what a criminal and horrible human being he is. He knows he will never go to jail now so every day is Christmas for him going forward. Bets on how long the lunacy will last?
Do you think the Atlantic CEO is the right person to talk to if you want to discuss Elon Musk? The Atlantic behaviour during COVID and afterwards was not very flattering for them. Can you trust him now?
Trump = uncertainty. Markets hate uncertainty

I venture to say that Trump, following Putin’s instructions, is trying to create a world economic crisis to stop supporting Ukraine.
