About Mansour...

“Tarek Mansour is co-founder and chief of Kalshi, the New York-based prediction market that made him a billionaire in December 2025 when he was 29 years old.

Mansour was born in California and raised in Lebanon, where he attended College Louise Wegmann. He later moved to the United States where he graduated in 2018 from MIT with bachelor’s degrees in computer science and mathematics and a master of engineering degree.

Mansour began his career as a quantitative trader at Goldman Sachs and as a global macro trader at Citadel, where he observed that many trades were driven by expectations about future events even though there was no streamlined market for such trading.

In 2018 he co-founded Kalshi with Luana Lopes Lara to build a regulated exchange for “event contracts.” Under his leadership as chief executive, Kalshi secured approval from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in 2020 and launched in 2021, pioneering legal event-based trading in the United States. “

During one nanosecond, your car traveling at 70mph on the highway moves 1.94e-11 miles.

That’s 0.00000000000194 miles.
Or 0.0000000102 feet.
Or 0.000001232 inches.

A machinist’s micrometer measures in increments of 0.0001 inches.

CNN is getting desperate. They are well known for deception, subversion and outright lying or omission of important facts.

For example:

I’m not sure which side gambles more but if it’s the dims they have a new opportunity to lose a bunch of money. TDS could really begin to become costly to them

looks like a duck, walks like —— you get the point

As soon as some state AG takes this to court as gambling it will go belly up — but not before paying out to the grifters who started it.

ultimate goal of his company is to “financialize everything” and “create a tradable asset out of any difference in opinion.”

This will not end well.
