Nike Founder Phil Knight, Crypto’s Collapse, & Blue Checks, Be Gone! 11/10/22
In a supersized episode, Becky Quick sits down with Nike co-founder Phil Knight for a rare interview. For the first time, Knight comments on Nike’s decision to cut ties with NBA star Kyrie Irving. The Oregon gubernatorial race is still too close to call; a proud Oregonian himself, Knight explains why he’s donated nearly $5 million combined to the Republican and Independent candidates, while Nike has publicly backed the Democrat candidate Tina Kotek. Once worth $32 billion, crypto exchange FTX is struggling to survive. SEC Chair Gary Gensler discusses regulators’ roles in protecting investors against the crypto collapse. Plus, an election update in Georgia: Senate candidates Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker are heading to a runoff in December. And, at the helm of Twitter, Elon Musk has nixed the blue check mark!
