    That spammer dressed as automaker GM has announced its intended future spending on EVs in the US. It will spend 1-2.5x as much on ads this year than it will spend on EVs over the next 5 by the looks of its announced plans. But worse than that, this is just more marketing, they may not spend what they plan to spend or even be able to spend it but they actually do horn blowing infomercial ads to hype their spending as if they need a reward for spending on the right things. Given that after its bankruptcy GM bailed on a bunch of markets its kind of down to the US and China. And it is clear GM intends to spend less on EV development than ads or at least that is what their newest ad on their virtue signaling spending strongly implies. GM is not listening to Elon. He suggested that the industry spend less on ads and more on products. And surely in part that's because the ads and payments to sponsored (captured) media are about lying to people and tricking them into buying inferior products or creating censorship and spin that at least has the same effect but also much more damaging effects like not addressing climate change. Don't think of GM as a spammer? Fine think of it as a propaganda company that pushes fossil fuel products.

    Where are the GM shorts? Very curious isn't it? After we saw Gates making what amounted by timing to pro-Nikola comments while quite apparently shorting Tesla and GM citing Nikola as a soul mate around the same time- have to wonder if the money behind GM (maybe Gate's partner Buffet- before Buffet was apparently forced to buy Tesla by S&P inclusion) was involved (indirectly of course) with shorting Tesla the way Gates was (but not on behalf of MS of course)- I'd be surprised if GM wasn't in its own way. Remember the way the coal industry got caught up in that kind of behavior with getting caught having one of its executives trying to impersonate Must and call Tesla to try to get info- not like there isn't a ton of precedent for underhanded behavior. Think about what Buffet did to net metering in Nevada through his NRG before getting reversed. Its not like it would show up on their GAAP reports it would be simple influence on their fossil fuel sunk cost creditors and investors (who do trade) who stand to lose with fossil fuels generally right along-side GM as a fossil fuel company itself but one that sponsors (where sponsorship in general amounts to bribery) the captured media with its ad spending so it would be like the other side of the short influence. If you're a ad/hype driven company like GM generally run by marketing MBAs trying to convey to the public that people (even if behind the scenes people like Gates, Buffet, Koch, Einhorn) are apparently betting against your most serious competitor well that is the kind of hype based thing that come naturally, it is just more propaganda and of course it is their big owners who would apparently otherwise approve of them being only ad deep and those same owners acting on behalf of their own interests even if it didn't work out historically. It just more noise and more spam as they keep on ignoring product while the market and public continue to foreclose on them. Cybertruck shows up with muddy tires at Giga Texas and then GM does infomercials showing dirty tires on 'Super' trucks- they can't even do original ads and it might have been all CGI.

    And again you have to ask yourself what is GM getting for this marketing because it clearly isn't working! The are getting totally destroyed by a company that spends literally zero on bs. Remember the campaigns by lame "share holder services" that tried to literally force Tesla to waste money on that bs (you lose control over your company by bringing in those parasites because they get between you and your customers) same people trying to install someone from the Blackrock (largest funders of fossil fuels) on the board of Tesla's- a raw attempt at sabotage. Is trying to manipulate public understanding so that kind of stuff can succeed what GM's ad spending actually goes for? Would there be anything that would prohibit GM from more directly trying to profit from such short positions except possibly public out-cry over the conflict of interest? Maybe a lot of that spending is now going to paid shills in chat rooms? Some of it surely goes to lobbying for super dumb stuff like trying to make EVs more expensive to slow the transition to green by giving money to people like Buttegieg- look what Pete took on open secrets in fossil fuel money he didn't need to win. Some of it probably goes to arm twisting sponsor captured media (with ad sponsor money at stake) to promote or punish politicians with air time to reinforce bribery based lobbying (lobbying is bribery even if not recognized as that at the moment by law- although it once was and its life and death that we go back to recognizing it for what it is.
