Summary

Scott Galloway and Ed Elson discuss why markets are so bullish right now, even with ongoing uncertainty in Iran. Scott argues it’s a byproduct of rising income inequality, while Ed points to “timeline fatigue” as investors tune out the risks from the war. They also dive into the growing backlash against AI, why public sentiment is turning negative, and what it means for Big Tech companies and their long-term outlook. Finally, they revisit their top big tech stock pick for the year, laying out why they remain bullish and what could drive the stock higher from here.
