    Elon’s “Thinly Disguised Fraud”: $1.25T SpaceX-xAI Merger

    John Johnston (JJ) breaks down how Yanis Varoufakis writes that the recent merger of Elon Musk’s SpaceX and xAI, is part of a financial market too eager to buy its own illusions. He thinks the market valuation is similar to the fraudulent arithmetic used during the Dot Com Bubble.  Related episodes: It’s All Falling Apart For Elon Musk, Tesla & SpaceX https://open.spotify.com/episode/02oPX7onUsiODaZ71SDAF3 Elon Musk’s ‘Self-Growing Moon City’: Anyone Still Believe Him? https://open.spotify.com/episode/7GqExGR4JY2mVIhfrNN0mz AI Bubble: Is OpenAI Cooked?

    Kyle Kulinski Humiliates Joe Rogan For His “Tepid Little Criticisms”

    John Johnston (JJ) reacts to a recent Kyle Kulinski video, in which he torches Joe Rogan for his “tepid little criticisms” of the current administration, instead of being more forceful about it. Some other Rogansphere comedians and podcasters have begun to be very critical, but Joe Rogan can’t seem to summon up the courage to join them.  Related episodes: Joe Rogan’s Embarrassing Tech Billionaire Worship Hits New Low https://open.spotify.com/episode/7ggR6cTbiPxQwkB6DC9mpN Sam Harris: Joe Rogan’s Podcast is a “Bug Light” for Maniac Guests  https://open.spotify.com/episode/0y5EBw33i8DPf8fPQnMl8E?si=AzRxfx4kQ8WgKcxDNQAm8A Slow Joe Rogan is Waking Up to Harsh Reality https://open.spotify.com/episode/0H7F4FIPxQCqBzKlBm9Iba Referenced video: ‘IT’S OVERWHELMING!’: Joe Rogan Now LOSING SLEEP Over Trump’s FAILURES | The Kyle Kulinski Show https://youtu.be/IeMRC1_5mSE

    Scam? STILL Only One Tesla Unsupervised Robotaxi?

    John Johnston (JJ) breaks down news about Tesla Unsupervised Robotaxi roll-out in Austin, Texas. The third-party Robotaxi Tracker shows there are currently eight unsupervised Tesla robotaxis in the active fleet in Austin, but it also shows that seven of them haven’t been seen in operation for about two weeks. Is Tesla rotating the cars into unsupervised operation, but with only one or two in operation at a time? What’s going on with Tesla’s roll-out and scaling of unsupervised Robotaxi, with so much of Tesla’s market cap riding on this?

    John Johnston (JJ) reacts to a video from Jennifer Welch of the I’ve Had It Podcast, in which Jennifer is highly critical of the anti-democractic, pro-authoritarian ideology of the co-founders of company Palantir, and some other aligned U.S. tech billionaires.   Related episodes: Why It’s Time To Ditch Elon Musk’s Companies https://open.spotify.com/episode/2rQLR35sUfWAtZeufcSx9J AI Bubble BIG SHORT: Michael Burry’s Palantir Stock Short https://open.spotify.com/episode/6riZX0MgDPBmLlaRHl6uDY Joe Rogan GLAZES Peter Thiel & Palantir, Theo Von COOKS https://open.spotify.com/episode/1kNKj2d1vOXqlTKosqBhTY Referenced video: IHIP News: Trump's INNER CIRCLE of PSYCHOTIC Billionaire OLIGARCHS Want Democracy DESTROYED!! https://youtu.be/Psgq3atpcIk

    Why It’s Time To Ditch Elon Musk’s Companies

    John Johnston (JJ) breaks down how the boycott of Tesla products, that started about a year ago, seems to be having an impact, with Tesla car sales continuing to go down. The question is: could it also happen with products and services from other Elon-led companies and brands as well, such as X, Grok, and Starlink? Increasingly, more people do not want to buy what Elon is selling, because of his politics and questionable behavior.  Related episodes: Elon Musk’s Divisive Opinions Are Destroying Tesla’s Brand https://open.spotify.com/episode/7EyThY7l6c9FMphfclCfhU Why Elon Musk’s Tesla & xAI Exec Staff Exit in Droves https://open.spotify.com/episode/6gH4c1wAKglXqilUROpR1I Tick-Tock: Elon Musk Inflicts MORE Tesla Brand Damage https://open.spotify.com/episode/0YJZRk6LIxJxOmrL6jQlk8 Disclaimer: I am not a financial adviser and nothing in this content is financial advice.
