What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
today's episode we speak about spacex the biggest company to ever go public it has broken records all over the show and elon musk is now a trillionaire there is a rumor though about potentially spacex merging with another business so we're going to talk about what would that actually mean for elon musk the stock market for all of us
El Nino sounds like a cocktail, but it's not. It is a massive weather event that is happening right now, and last time it wiped out trillions in the global economy.
There is a silver lining with this big weather event, as much as it sounds devastating, and it will be. There is also an interesting long-term investing trend that Vic has spotted, which we're going to talk about later. It's not as dire in terms of the investment. It's actually really innovative. So we'll talk about that and exactly how you could invest if it's of interest to you.
The UK has just joined a growing list of countries that has banned social media for under 16 year olds.
How does the SpaceX IPO affect Elon Musk's wealth?
Yay. Everyone's talking about the social side of this. We are going to talk about the financial impact, surprising, and how there are some companies that are going to be way more effective than others.
This is The Curve Weekly, where we read the finance news so that you don't have to.

It's not an elephant, actually.
What is El Niño and why is it significant?
My tan? Yeah. I was going to say, elephant's way too pale for what we're talking about. It's stunning. Just got back from grace.
How does El Niño impact global economies and inflation?
You look so, you know, healthy. And it's a shit compliment that you do.
Which is so counterintuitive, right? Because you're killing your skin cells.
How can listeners submit their questions for future episodes?
Because you go so olive, you can kind of justify a bit of a burn because you're like, well, like for fair girls like me.
I hate burning myself. Like it's like, yeah. But when you kind of had a few drinks in the sun and then you're like. How long have I been in the sun? How was Greece? It was really nice. Do you feel like you've had a holiday? Yeah, it was just like really nice that we'd wake up, work, like we kind of, everyone on the trip has their own businesses. So it was really great. And we had two young kids. So it was like, they'd go down for a nap, we'd work, then we'd go to the beach in the afternoon. Like it was just like a great balance. Did you have set working days where you were like, hey, bye too, let's call it? No, everyone was just kind of on the buzz. And some people would be like, I'm going to the beach. And they're like, I've got to stay and work.
Like it was, yeah, it was really, really nice. And I was like, oh, it'd be nice to just pack up and... park up in Greece for a... I think Soph would kill me. I'm just starting the podcast from Greece again. The Wi-Fi's not working.
That would be the only thing I'd kill you about is if you called. It's windy. I'm stuck on Paros and I can't... I've had a few rosés. No, no. You on rosés is a vibe. You are always welcome to podcast drunk, just so you know.
