HT Henrietta Treyz On Bloomberg Intelligence

“It's all about AI. That's boosted the stock market. You could argue there'd be a recession without it. And yet we all hate AI. You hate a data center. You're unclear about what it's going to do for your college kids that are graduating and can't get a job, or anybody that's stuck in a job that they don't feel comfortable leaving because they don't know if AI is going to replace that job. It is an extraordinarily fraught, tumultuous time. And I think it's going to shape the 2028 race as soon as we get over this midterm. We're going to be talking about how to regulate and tax AI.”

Context

Speaker 10

Right.

Speaker 1

…America has been higher economic growth. That is our advantage right now. But we also know, Henrietta, that AI investment was a big driver of growth in the third quarter. So our growth is very much dependent on continued investment in AI, which a lot of people are voting against this election day.

Henrietta Treyz

It's all about AI. That's boosted the stock market. You could argue there'd be a recession without it. And yet we all hate AI. You hate a data center. You're unclear about what it's going to do for your college kids that are graduating and can't get a job or anybody that's stuck in a job that they don't feel comfortable leaving because they don't know if AI is going to replace that job. I mean, it is a extraordinarily fraught, tumultuous time. And I think it's going to shape the 2028 race as soon as we get over this midterm. We're going to be talking about how to regulate and tax AI.

Tom Keen

I want to pick on someone who's been a great supporter, even though he supports Arkansas football. French Hill is a ranking Republican. How angry is Chairman Hill right now with President Trump?

Henrietta Treyz

Well, I mean, I think there's a lot of folks who are angry with President Trump.

Scarlet Fu

They're talking to you, but they're not talking to the visible media, are they?

“So there are a few lessons in terms of getting wealthy. One is own, don't earn. Most people don't get rich, like really rich, $10, $25 million, from earning a W-2 or a salary. The typical person, especially as you go up from $25 million to $100 million, they almost all own private businesses.” — Owen Zidar, Bloomberg Intelligence “I've seen this movie before. I've seen billionaires move to Austin, Texas. I've seen them move to Miami. They always come back to the Bay Area when it's time to build, right? When they need the engineers, when they need the money, that's where it is. And so California does have some leverage over them, because if you want to build an important technology company, you build it there, and that's where their employees are.” — Sarah Fryer, Bloomberg Intelligence
