As I reported yesterday, many on X misreported Prime Day sales as a scary headline showing consumers might be going into hiding. However, U.S. online sales jumped 9.9% year over year to $7.9 billion on Tuesday, the kickoff of Amazon’s Prime Day megasale, according to Adobe

They just keep lying and lying

SOMEBODY EXPLAIN IT TO ME LIKE I'M 7. CNBC has ZERO coverage of the Xai Grok 4 announcement????

THEY ARE WRONG. PLAIN AND SIMPLE. Zero evidence thus far of any impact at retail. Truflation at 1.66% today. Maximum impact would be around .4%. Fed says .6%. So .6% of $70,000 income is $420. Not even close to $2400.

Here are the rarely reported impacts on inflation that assure us that we are going under 2% and maybe negative. High productivity (e.g., AI) floods the market with cheaper goods and services. A stagnant population caps demand growth, preventing supply shortages. A restricted

Kobeissi is back after a rough Wednesday. Super interesting.

with an additional prompt, just the conclusion: Yes, Musk could manufacture some products in the US at or below global factory floor costs by 2026–2027, leveraging robots, solar energy, autonomous trucks, and material control—especially for high-tech, capital-intensive goods.

I ran those through and had a yes on number 1, a nuanced response on the other 2. On #3 More deaths at the hands of right wing. Way more chaos and destruction from the left.

Been pushing this for over a year! Thrilled to see it

ROBOTAXI ROLLOUT DETAILS: Multiple US cities showing ADS driver job offers. Tesla will get HUGE benefit from having access to the best LLM in the world. We talk about that Grok Review

Biden allows MILLIIONS to come in illegally. Sounds like criminal behavior to me. Trump wants to offer those folks money to leave, along with a potential opportunity to return. 100% legal and filled with grace. But the left is encouraging riots and attacking our ICE agents,
