Business, Economics, and Taxes: Eat Cereal for Dinner

Elmo and Linda Yaccarino are at Cannes Lions this week, trying to walk back the "GFY" comment from last year and woo advertisers back to Xitter (national ad spending on Xitter is down 65% from May of last year). They are touting AI-enabled ad campaign targeting as a solution for advertisers concerned about their content appearing next to or near fascist content in people's feeds.

It's all a faux-pology though, as he has reiterated that he will not censor content advertisers find objectionable. No comment on the censorship of content Elmo and his mega-rich friends find objectionable.

Talking head on CNBC confirms CEOs aren't excited about Trump after the Fortune 100 meeting. In fact, there are more Fortune 100 companies headquartered in Rhode Island than F100 CEOs supporting Trump.

Also said that this lack of support for a Republican presidential candidate hasn't been this low since Taft.

Caveat, these CEOs still can't/won't publicly support Biden, but have Informally admitted that the Biden presidency, while they may not agree with all policies, has been good to them and they don't want the division that Trump/MAGA types would bring with a Trump win.

This is dumb. Charging on a slower charger, during the day where electricity costs the most. And how much would an ICE truck cost to fill up from empty?


F the cyber truck, but these "OH MY GOD IT ISN'T FREE AND INSTANTANEOUS" nonsense videos are stupid.

That isn't what the video is saying, it is a direct answer to the guy who said how convenient and inexpensive it seemed to drive his cybertruck and she was showing she could fill up her van faster, spend less and get better mileage in her grocery getter. The point isn't that it isn't free or fast charging, it is that these (paid) videos that are pimping all of the perks are fraudulent. If "The Future" is worse in every way why spend the money?

See, ever since the CT basically tanked and it became a joke to everyone Musk has been paying influencers to put out these types of videos to offset all of the bad videos out there. They are always way over the top much like that clown. This response is just trying to show how absurd they are. When someone is dancing a jig because their car charges in 1.5 hours and costs about $70 to fill and gets 300 miles per charge it makes sense to show you can do better than all of that now and save yourself the headaches and a whole lot of cash.

I agree, actual videos that whine it isn't free and fast are stupid. No one with an IQ over 15 thinks that is how it works or at least they shouldn't. This video though is more showing the absurdity of some of the claims. Like her last video mocking the lady who says the car is great because of the hidden drawers (glove compartment) and space to put your purse. (on the floor) In a world where nimrods are influenced by stupid videos on an app, it is best to fight fire with fire.
 
Again, I'm perfectly happy to point out the staggering stupidity that is the CT, but this specific video was straight-up taken by the endless number of "OMG EVs R STUPID LOLZ!!11!1" garbage. It used the two points the mutants constantly bring up - "it isn't cheaper" and "it takes forever to charge".

A properly working Tesla supercharger should have that up to the 80% threshold in like a half hour. Yes, that is more than the 120 seconds it takes to fill a gas tank, but not 90 minutes.


Most EV owners charge at home, where electricity is far cheaper, and where the speed of charging matters little.
