As Forbes said, middle managers are the overlooked leaders who hold the organization together.
Sharper Image was never that great. Just overpriced Chinese-made products made to look nice.
Agreed. It's not the same, but similar issues remain. Investors, both from the stock market and direct, are the ones providing the money. So long as companies keep buying the products, everything is fine.
What has to happen is AI, in all its forms, needs to get its act together. While the market can stay irrational longer than you or I, you, as the company, need to show something for the billions being sent your way. Personally, I believe there will be advances from all this computing power. However, it's going to take time to sift the chaff from the wheat. Once someone, or someones, finds the right combination of software and hardware, that's when it will get interesting. How long that will take is the question and whether investors are willing to keep handing over their money.
The difference is these companies aren't necessarily going into debt to keep running. They just keep going back to investors who hand over their money.

A GSA spokesperson told TechCrunch that Musk was not directly involved in negotiating the agreement.
It is guaranteed Musk was involved in negotiating the agreement. Nothing gets done at the company without his approval.
This is just another example of the ongoing grift. Taxpayers are once again footing the bill so the boys club can have their meetings.
What are they good for? Who needs 'em?
More woke scaremongering from the left.
This sounds more like you're an unorganized, forgetful person than an issue with cars.
