Elon apparently has a child's level understanding of Advertising.

The straight answer us, they don't. Its faith and hope and often a lot of smoke and mirrors.

Advertising has been like this since it was conceived. Did people walk away from the TV to use the restroom while commercials were on? Did they see your ad for whatever? You hope they did, chances are they didn't.

Thats just how it works.

Even web advertising with all its metrics isn't infailable because its teivial tonad block it to never actually render, even if a signal is sent that it was viewed.

But Elon is a GENIUS who isn't bound by any kind of... reality! LOL... yes, this is his usual method of operation. Hint at or just say he has something better or just fake it till someone under him comes up with something. ...and when that doesn't happen, just cut his losses and act like nothing happened.

Sadly, my mom is still convinced he's brilliant - meanwhile, I think he's a blithering idiot - but my mom comes from a time when businessmen + wealth = smart, and we won't mention that his dad owned HALF of an emerald mine and his mom is an international model even to this day.

We both agree though that he never intended to buy twitter, it was all stuff that is going to get him in trouble with the SEC.

Is this his real reason for wanting to buy Twitter? Some weird obsession with how many fake accounts there are?

"Now watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold" is 100% huckster-ese for "something serious is about to be made public soon and I'm trying to get out ahead of it." I wonder what it is.

The sad thing is that this WORKS. His mostly conservative followers will now be willing to defend him from ANYTHING that comes out under the claim it is just a liberal trick.

He's a little young for Air Epstein, so who knows.

Meanwhile Tesla has been kicked out of S&P's ESG 500 index.

The S&P 500 ESG Index uses environmental, social and governance data to rank and effectively recommend companies to investors. Its criteria include hundreds of data points per company that pertain to the way businesses affect the planet and treat stakeholders beyond shareholders — including customers, employees, vendors, partners and neighbors.

It said that Tesla’s “lack of a low-carbon strategy” and “codes of business conduct,” along with racism and poor working conditions reported at Tesla’s factory in Fremont, California, affected the score. Tesla’s handling of an investigation by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration also weighed on its score.

While Tesla’s stated mission is to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy, in February this year it settled with the Environmental Protection Agency after years of Clean Air Act violations and neglecting to track its own emissions. Tesla ranked 22nd on last year’s Toxic 100 Air Polluters Index, compiled annually by U-Mass Amherst Political Economy Research Institute — worse than Exxon Mobil, which came in 26th. (The index uses data from 2019, the most recently available.)

In Tesla’s first-quarter filing the company also disclosed it is being investigated for its handling of waste in the state of California, and that it had to pay a fine in Germany for failures to meet “take back” obligations in the country for spent batteries.

Why Tesla was kicked out of the S&P 500's ESG index

The S&P said that Tesla's "lack of a low-carbon strategy," and "codes of business conduct" affected the company's score.
