@Bayoumilitia @nick_underhill Probably why we went Tyson so high.

He also talked about “agentic commerce” where AI shops for you before you even think about it

That’s where this is going

Not just recommendations
Not just ads
But execution

Just watched a Morgan Stanley analyst on CNBC and he said AMZ is “the most underappreciated generative AI winning business” in their coverage. Everybody talks about generative AI like it’s just chat or search.
Amazon knows what you actually buy generative AI + intent + action

@elonmusk Tesla reports today.

Everybody’s watching Robotaxi and Cybercab, not just earnings.

Also wild… Musk might hit $1T net worth soon and most of it isn’t even Tesla anymore.

Feels like the market is deciding if Tesla is a car company or a tech company right now.

Just saw a segment on CNBC about
Office space might not be dead after all
AI was supposed to kill white collar jobs and empty offices
But now companies are paying 300 a sq. foot for premium space in San Fran.

Matt’s pushing for a 90-day pause on tariffs to avoid massive shortages, free up cash stuck in China, and prevent a Christmas crisis. Stay tuned — this could impact more than just trees.

[ASHTON TAYLOR @ATaylorSr]

and his company’s potential tariff bill jumped from $1M to over $100M.

They’ve prepped by shifting supply chains and importing early, but it’s not enough. Artificial trees have never been made in the U.S., and efforts to manufacture them domestically failed due to cost (3,000)

Christmas Could Get Expensive This Year
Matt Harmon, CEO of Balsam Brands (a major artificial Christmas tree seller), says new U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports are threatening holiday inventory. The tariff on Christmas goods is now up to 145%–180%

@jemelehill “The price of the brick went up.”
Trump hit China with tariffs.
China struck back.
Then Trump said, “Hold up, wait.”
Markets tanked, then rallied.
The Dow is Marlo’s corner now — all leverage, all chaos.

Everything changed when Southwest’s stock price started dropping last year. It was only a matter of time.
