Elevated Shepherd's Pie

The Money Stuff podcast explores the potential merger between SpaceX and XAI, driven by synergies in building data centers in space, while also considering Elon Musk's potential motivations, including the influence of astronomy, astrology, and the number 69. The hosts then shift to Tether's increasing gold reserves, stored in a James Bond-esque nuclear bunker in Switzerland, positioning the company as a central bank alternative. They discuss Tether's ambitions to trade gold, hiring senior traders from HSBC, and the logistical challenges of buying tons of gold weekly. Finally, the hosts examine the lawsuit between Optimum and its creditors, focusing on Kirkland & Ellis's alleged involvement and the power dynamics between companies, law firms, and creditors, and conclude with J.P. Morgan's push for its investment bankers to increase M&A activity.
