Description

The Information's Jessica Lessin calls it the Musk Distraction Machine - cage matches and incessant memes that are designed to distract us from focusing on what's really happening at his businesses of X, Tesla, and SpaceX - and she says, don't fall for it. Plus, Microsoft is struggling hard against Google in the search engine wars, with Bing just barely gaining market share since the beginning of the year. Deepwater’s Gene Munster thinks Google will be the clear winner in the AI race, especially with the tech giant’s Gemini model set to launch soon.
