I honestly can't tell if that was a joke or if he's actually being serious. My initial reaction was that it had to be a joke, but then I realized that he's some random dudebro podcast influencer so there's a very good chance he thinks he's outsmarted experts

    Joe Weisenthal is the executive editor of news for Bloomberg Digital. He is also the co-anchor of “What’d You Miss?”, Bloomberg Television’s flagship markets program, as well as Bloomberg’s “Odd Lots” podcast.

People I follow in Twitter follow him. His thoughts are a sterling example of Poe's Law; I figure if Andy Kaufman and Norm Macdonald didn't advertise themselves as comedians you'd wonder too.

But then, if Tucker Carlson had better timing he'd be funnier than Stephen Colbert.

Joe Wiesenthal puts me through this thought process a couple times a month and I don't even follow the d00d. Ostensibly he knows markets. But he's got hot takes like this on crypto, bonds, equities, tariffs, pie, eggs, you name it.
