Remember in Tesla's earnings call to discuss the year-end results for 2023 Elon Musk said, “We’re pursuing the dual path of Nvidia and Dojo. But I would think of Dojo as a long shot.” Musk's tweets in response to our story today show how very reliant on Nvidia Tesla is... He said Tesla plans to spend $3-$4B on Nvidia GPUs and equipment this year. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/04/elon-musk-told-nvidia-to-ship-ai-chips-reserved-for-tesla-to-x-xai.html

Since Google debuted “AI Overview” in Google Search, queries have returned nonsensical or inaccurate results within the feature — without any way to opt out. For example, when asked how many Muslim presidents the U.S. has had, AI Overview responded, “The United States has had one Muslim president, Barack Hussein Obama.” Many other examples here via @cnbc by Hayden Field

Musk once again on the record denying he had an affair or was ever alone with Shanahan. (Ok, but did you knock boots? This is SF, LA & Burning Man culture we’re talkin about.)

Downtown business districts are trying to adapt as office workers don't go in five days a week anymore. But in nearly every U.S. city, per Square analysis of transaction data from bars and restaurants, the dip in lunch spending was offset by increases on evenings and weekends. Demand even outpaces pre-pandemic levels in some cities and venues. via @nbcnews https://www.nbcnews.com/business/consumer/lunch-rush-dead-americans-live-weekend-rcna151652

“This appears to be a staggering ethical violation and calls into question Justice Alito’s objectivity in Trump v. Anderson and other cases,” said CREW President Noah Bookbinder, using the name of the Colorado case. “Justices are supposed to avoid even the appearance of bias,” Bookbinder said. “We don’t know exactly who put the flag up, but we know that it remained there for days.” https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/17/supreme-court-alito-trump-stop-the-steal-flag.html via @cnbc by Dan Mangan

REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. (AP) — Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday delivered some of the Biden administration’s strongest public criticism yet of Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza, saying Israeli tactics have meant “a horrible loss of life of innocent civilians” but failed to neutralize Hamas leaders and fighters and could drive a lasting insurgency. https://apnews.com/article/blinken-israel-hamas-gaza-rafah-war-6e0f887bd307f707a05190b33708fe58

Meanwhile on X - accounts were reinstated for a guy who is known as a main instigator and organizer of j6 and another alt right provocateur who was dropped by breitbart over pedophilia comments. (But several people who posted Musk or Tesla critical comments remain perma-banned.)

So X (Twitter) banned how many Tesla, SpaceX or Musk critics' accounts - but Elon Musk is personally seeing to it to reinstate the account of N1ck Fu3n3s, who the SPLC describes as "a white nationalist livestreamer who advocates pulling the Republican Party further to the extreme far-right end of the political spectrum." https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/individual/nick-fuentes

lotta folks have started taking a critical look at Tesla and Elon Musk of late. some are acting like they've been Cassandra the whole time and they haven't. i ask: where WERE you when Black employees filed their class action lawsuit over the racism? where WERE you when sales employees decried ever-shrinking pay? where WERE you when solar, service and factory whistleblowers lost nearly everything, getting sued for trying to solve dangerous problems? too little too late. you're not in the club.

Intel was once the biggest and most valuable U.S. chip company, but has been surpassed by rivals in recent years due to a series of missteps.
Intel shares plummeted on Friday following disappointing earnings.
It is now the worst-performing tech stock in the S&P 500 this year, while rival chipmaker Nvidia is the second-best performer in the index.

Investors have historically reacted favorably to layoffs at Tesla and tech companies because they're seen as prudent cost-cutting measures. But that's not how the market is reacting to Tesla's layoffs now. Many investors are focused on declining Tesla EV sales, robotaxi promises that are already long delayed and executive departures. Tesla's share price continues to dip this morning... https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/16/tesla-layoffs-send-shares-down-on-concerns-about-weakening-demand.html
