In this brief commentary, the speaker alleges that McKinsey & Company received $55 million in 2022 to advise Warner Bros. on the rebranding of HBO to HBO Max, then to Max, and back to HBO Max, and an additional $63 million in 2025 to recommend that Warner Bros. and Discovery operate as separate brands again. The speaker characterizes these fees as "absolutely insane," cites a Craig tweet that frames the issue as creating problems rather than solving them, and references Tai Lopez as a cultural marker of a scam, implying that his involvement signals a lack of legitimacy.

In 2022, McKinsey was paid $55 million to advise Warner Brothers when they merged with Discovery. They charged them $37 million by advising them to change HBO to HBO Max, then to Max, then back to HBO Max. And in 2025, they billed them an additional $63 million again to determine that Warner Brothers and Discovery should be separate brands again. This is absolutely insane. There were some good reactions to this. Craig tweeted, don't be the problem, be the solution that creates the problem. Our boy Tai Lopez comes in, a good gig. You know it's a good scam when Tai Lopez is giving you respect.
