Summary

We revisit our old pal Bill Ackman, who was one of Wall Street's most notorious activist investors, to become the SPAC king, to finally settling into his new role as a billionaire culture warrior. Also, we discuss the suspension of a delightfully moronic Tory MP, and check out how Neom is finally building some stuff that's not just different shaped hotels. CHRISTMAS ANNOUNCEMENT: The TF team will be taking some time off, so instead of a free episode in the week of the 25th we will be unlocking a paid episode for free listeners and releasing a Q&A for paid listeners, and then normal service will resume the first week of Jan.
