Interviewer 0:00 ↗
Martin, we really appreciate your time. There's Martin's Twitter. I mean, my audience has absolutely loved this and enjoyed it. Thanks so much.
Martin Shkreli 0:05 ↗
If I can plug my thing real quick.
Interviewer 0:06 ↗
Yeah. Yeah.
Martin Shkreli 0:07 ↗
So, this is what I'm gonna do. So, Godel.
Interviewer 0:08 ↗
So, dude, so I'm going to be honest. I still pay for this every month, but I don't use it. And that's more of a me thing. I just like force of habit. I haven't been using it, but I saw it in January. It's a Bloomberg terminal competitor, and you know, I've been familiar with your brand, so I paid for it and I just need to start using it a lot more. What is it? Why are you trying to compete against Bloomberg? And you know, you went through some stuff over the past decade. Went to prison, came back. Why is this the next big idea?
Martin Shkreli 0:34 ↗
Yeah. So, I've been involved in financial software my whole life. I actually was a software guy, you know, for most of my life before I did pharma very seriously. I was a programmer growing up. I love software. Um, so if you know the Bloomberg terminal, it's really efficient. It is hard to use and hard to learn. The average person doesn't know how to use a Bloomberg terminal, but we made a backwards compatible version. So if you know Bloomberg, you know Godel. And if you learn Godel, you learn Bloomberg, right? So the key to it is pressing the button on top of your tab, the backtick button.
Interviewer 1:03 ↗
Yeah.
Martin Shkreli 1:05 ↗
So when you press that button, we actually made this thing so you're not supposed to use your mouse. Just throw your mouse away. And now type, hit the backtick and type PLTR and hit enter. And that's sort of how it works. Now type HDS and hit enter.
Ah, you used your mouse.
Interviewer 1:20 ↗
Oh, you're right. You're right. I did. Those little holders.
Martin Shkreli 1:23 ↗
Press escape twice.
Interviewer 1:26 ↗
Wow. Now type N. That's news, right?
Martin Shkreli 1:29 ↗
Yeah. And hit enter.
Interviewer 1:31 ↗
Yeah.
Martin Shkreli 1:31 ↗
This is the most comprehensive news. No ads in the news. Uh, no ads anywhere on our platform. The most comprehensive news. In fact, there are more stories on our platform than there are on Bloomberg, which is something that we worked really hard to get. So, it's not quite Bloomberg yet, but it is also 95% cheaper than Bloomberg. So, you know, I always wondered why Bloomberg was so expensive. And you know, I love programming and I also think that one of the biggest problems out there is that nobody can quantitatively invest and I kind of want to build that for people. I also have a lot of social features in there. So there's chat rooms and all kinds of stuff that's fun.
Interviewer 2:03 ↗
So you Robin just got out of the hood was a funny one. Uh, how charge 60 bucks a month for this? Like that seems pretty cheap.
Martin Shkreli 2:10 ↗
Well, it's also free. So you can actually just mess around with it for free and that's something a lot of people don't know. And we have thousands and thousands of users, uh, tens of thousands of users and um, we still haven't even publicly announced it. So I haven't tweeted about it yet. So it's still kind of like early, early days. And under apps, we're going to hopefully do, um, we're adding bonds to it. We're adding, you know, it's going to be the full feature of Bloomberg. I'm ready to take them down. I just honestly hate Bloomberg. They banned me from their product. I was a user since I was 17. They're a very political organization. They have a news team that hates me. It's become personal, you know, for whatever reason. This is personal. Mike is one of the richest. Some people, a lot of people don't know this. Mike Bloomberg may be the richest man in the world.
Interviewer 2:55 ↗
Yeah.
Martin Shkreli 2:55 ↗
And it's, you know, the Forbes people finally figured this out. He's like number seven or something, but people just don't know how rich he is. I would guess about 400, 500 billion.
Interviewer 3:06 ↗
So Forbes says 104, but you think it's even just Bloomberg alone is worth 200.
Martin Shkreli 3:11 ↗
Yeah. So, and then the funny thing about Bloomberg is every year he pays himself a dividend of 5 to 10 billion for the last 40 years. And that's probably why they haven't gone public, right? They enjoy.
Interviewer 3:26 ↗
And what does he do with the money? Does he just throw it away?
Martin Shkreli 3:28 ↗
No, he's been investing it and making 20% on that money. The guy might have a trillion dollars for all we know. It's kind of nuts.
