RT @patrick_oshag: This is my second conversation with @JoshuaKushner.

Josh started Thrive in 2011 and the firm now manages ~$50 billion. We cover the iconic investments that defined it: Instagram, Stripe, GitHub, and spend a lot of time on OpenAI. He explains how Thrive thinks about investing today and the three categories they're currently focused on.

Josh also talks about how he built the firm โ€“ why they keep the team so small, why concentration is core to what they do, and what he's learned from A24 about enabling artists to create their best work.

Throughout the conversation, Josh shares the personal stories that shaped him, from his grandmother surviving the Holocaust to lessons from Stan Druckenmiller and Jon Winkelried at formative moments in Thrive's history.

Enjoy!

No โ€” this is not a knock on Loeb.

Some of you have been asking me for my thoughts on Raspberry Pi stock, so let me be honest.

I used to trade meme stocks myself. The result was a significant loss, and I don't touch them anymore.

There's one lesson I learned from that experience โ€” and it was an expensive one:

If you're going to get swept up in the hype, get swept up early.

Meme stocks are ultimately a game of narrative and momentum. Either you get in early and take profits, or you don't touch it at all. The worst-case scenario is getting swept up late and entering after the move has already been made. By that point, you're just someone else's exit liquidity.

I have no opinion on Raspberry Pi. I won't be touching it. These kinds of names are nearly impossible to predict or model on a fundamental basis โ€” how much they'll go up, how much they'll come down. I don't bet in areas where I have no edge.

RT @LindseyGrahamSC: To those who are perpetuating false narratives against the United Arab Emirates and President Sheikh @MohamedBinZayed personally, you are full of it. I met with him today for an hour and a half. Not only is he alive, but he is also well and as sharp as Iโ€™ve ever seen him. To those powers that feel the need to attack MbZ and the UAE for doing the right thing - you do so at your own peril.

Our meeting today was very enjoyable and informative. We discussed the historic moment that is facing the region. I told him how much I appreciated his courage and vision to create an Islamic country that can be integrated into the world in a win-win fashion, both for the people of the UAE and for those who visit and do business with the country.

However, there are other voices in Islam that have the darkest vision of mankind. Those voices are distinctly in the minority, in my view.

MbZโ€™s decision to embrace the Abraham Accords and to modernize his country while still maintaining the faith is the biggest change in the Middle East in my lifetime. What the United Arab Emirates have done to try to integrate the region with the whole world is one of the bravest and most consequential decisions any Middle Eastern leader has made. I was very candid with MbZ that he cannot do this by himself. Other people in the region have to buy-in to whatโ€™s happening with the UAE, not just be casual observers.

To the region: Understand that history is about to be made. President Trump wants a region that looks more like the UAE and less like the Ayatollah. The region can only move forward if it follows the vision that embraces the light instead of going backwards into the darkness. The UAEโ€™s vision for the Middle East and the 2030 vision previously expressed by the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia is something I would fully embrace because it would be great for South Carolina, and great for America.

The forces that are merging here recently are trying to undercut the movement toward the light. They are going back to the old way of doing business, playing cheap politics. Your actions have not gone unnoticed by me or others. If this continues, it will do enormous damage to the best opportunity I've seen in hundreds of years to change the Middle East for the better.

Finally, to those who believe that the region still flourishes if the ayatollahโ€™s regime survives, I could not disagree more. If this religious Nazi regime in Iran still stands after all this bluster and the people are shut out and continue to be oppressed, it puts everything weโ€™ve worked for at risk, including the Abraham Accords.

Now, I am off to Saudi Arabia where I look forward to meeting with the Crown Prince who has shown a lot of courage and wisdom and has embraced, in the past, a vision that will forever change the Middle East for the better.

Time will tell as to what happens.

RT @GlobalMktObserv: โ€ผ๏ธThe largest US stock buyer since 2009 is STEPPING BACK:

Combined buybacks by Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta, and Oracle fell to $12.6 billion in Q4 2025, the lowest in 7 YEARS.

This marks the 3rd quarterly decline, a -70% DROP from the 2021 peak.

For context, buybacks have been the single largest source of demand for US equities since 2009, not even close.

Big Tech is slashing buybacks at the expense of enormous CapEx on AI.

Is this why Big Tech has struggled in recent months?

Broooo.....Is this for real? ๐Ÿ˜ณ

My friend said they built this voice agent in 10 min using @polyaivoice

PolyAI has raised $200M from Nvidia, Khosla Ventures, and multiple top VCs.

We're one of the fastest-growing companies in the UK, and we handle 500M+ calls for:

โ€ข Marriott
โ€ข PG&E
โ€ข Gordon Ramsay's restaurants
โ€ข And 3,000 more real deployments

Which means that if you've ever called them, chances are you've talked to our voice agents.

Every restaurant we onboard books thousands in revenue within 30 days.

But how?

Because PolyAI works 24/7, answering every call in <2
