Psychedelic Alpha reports
In January, we reported on billionaire investor Antonio Gracias’ bid to take control of embattled MDMA drug developer Lykos Therapeutics. Now, Gracias appears to be teaming up with an unlikely co-investor.
Psychedelic Alpha understands that the Musk associate and DOGE advisor is joined by an even deeper-pocketed individual: Sir Christopher Hohn.
The British decabillonaire investment manager and philanthropist helms TCI Fund Management, the second largest hedge fund in the UK and among the top half-dozen in the world, with over $60bn in assets under management.
Hohn is a prominent figure in British society, having been knighted in 2014 “for services to UK philanthropy and international development”, and in that same year being ordered to pay half-a-billion dollars in a divorce settlement, the largest of its kind in the UK at the time. Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak also worked as a partner at TCI under Hohn.
But he’s not exactly a household name, perhaps owing to his preference to maintain his private life. While he might not be well-known among the average Brit, his reputation precedes him in the City of London and on Wall Street. There, he is known not only as the founder of one of the world’s best-performing hedge funds, but also as a ruthless activist investor.
That activist streak has seen him and his firm overthrow the leadership of German stock exchange company Deutsche Börse, take legal action against the Government of India, and pen letters to Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai calling for sweeping changes at his companies. It’s also earned him the title of ‘Europe’s most feared investor’.

Also read about his connections to XR and XR founder Gail Bradbrook’s psychedelic vision that humanity was destroying the planet. Although as the article points out it doesn’t stop him from having major positions in airplane manufacturer Airbus and in two Spanish companies – Ferrovial and Aena — which own London’s Heathrow Airport and the London Luton Airport, respectively and “As late as 2012, nearly half of the assets under management in TCI—a total of about $4 billion—were invested in utilities, mainly fossil fuel producers.”
