Eleanor Terrett Reunites With Frank Mottek At Milken Conference After Three Years

Business journalist Eleanor Terrett has dropped a wholesome reunion shot with her fellow media personality Frank Mottek, and the internet is rooting for it. The two met to do a catchup at the Milken Institute Global Conference, three years after they had their last face-to-face meeting. The tweet offers glimpses of side-by-side pictures taken then and now, a tet-a-tet of how some things simply never change, right there in real-time, such as their off-and-on-air chemistry.

In her well-known fiery opinion of her own on finance and the crypto space, Terrett called Mottek “the voice of business news in Los Angeles”—and indeed, that is a grand statement! The man has been holding it down in the biz for years. Something simple and beautiful; two people who clearly respect each other’s craft sharing an intimate moment and those replies… what a vibe.

First, we have somebody asking Terrett the classic question in Turkish-Google Translate showed us “Hangisi yeni?” (Translation: “Which one is new?”). Honestly, a fair question. Both pictures look fresh but knowing the honest answer would probably be the one where Terrett’s hair is a little differently styled. Fashion evolves, people.

Another user named Vörn, in an intersection of chaos and serenity, replied with nothing but a link. No context, no explanation-just a mysterious URL, could be a Rickroll, could be a deep dive into Mottek’s career highlights. We will never know because stepping into 2024 clicking on some random link is a digital Russian roulette.

Then, those wild replies followed by “Marry me please” became the real MVP. Without buildup or subtlety, they just drop that in Terrett’s mentions. A bold move. No rebuttals from Eleanor yet, but shooters fry.

Wholesome vibes came from someone pointing out how well Mottek had aged, and that’s honestly true. Dude looks like he discovered the fountain of youth somewhere in between business segments. Another user dubbed them the “Milken conference power couple,” which honestly sounds like a spin-off series we’d binge.

Most appreciative comment was about Terrett’s career trajectory and her network game being “on point.” They’re absolutely right: showing up every year at events like Milken to build connections with heavyweights like Mottek—a vision of cementing yourself in the world.

While the blockchain crowd still had an opinion, one reply described their reunion as “refreshing.” Which, yeah, in a world of toxic Twitter threads and crypto flame wars, two professionals sharing mutual respect is quite refreshing.

No huge drama, just a pretty decent tweet sprinkled with humor, admiration, and one assertive marriage proposal. Classic Twitter. And if you wonder what they could have talked about during their catch-up? Probably stocks, crypto, and whether anyone even understands the Fed’s next move.

Terrett didn’t spill anything, but we can all guess—when two finance media icons get together, it tends to go down one of two ways: either they’re wildly insightful, or 90% inside jokes about bond yields. Either way, we stan for a friendship that can outlast multiple market cycles.

So that is the tweet. Simple, functional, and somehow the replies span everything from career praise to an outright marriage proposal. Just another business news Twitter day.
