Author of "The Big Short": SBF once offered Trump US$5 billion to dissuade him from running for president, and plans to apply for a US$1 billion loan from Morgan Stanley to participate in the acquisition of Twitter

Odaily Planet Daily News "The Big Short" Michael Lewis disclosed in his new book "Going Infinite" that SBF has had some bizarre plans, including: 1. SBF once offered Trump US$5 billion to dissuade him from participating in the 2024 presidential election because he was worried that Trump would further undermine American democracy. 2. SBF spent $12 million to support Carrick Flynn’s Democratic primary campaign, but ultimately failed. SBF believed that Flynn could help him fight what he considered the three major threats to humanity: epidemics, misaligned artificial intelligence, and the collapse of democracy. 3. SBF met with the Prime Minister of the Bahamas to discuss repaying the country’s entire national debt of approximately US$10 billion. 4. SBF plans to apply for a $1 billion loan from Morgan Stanley to participate in Musk’s acquisition of Twitter, and plans to use FTT tokens as collateral. Lewis said Musk sought help from SBF to raise $44 billion for the deal. (The Block)
