Episode 389: Neal and Kyle discuss Biden’s historic Medicare negotiating power that is set to discount many drugs for Americans, an estimated cost savings of $6B. Then, Walmart reports their earnings and it looks like the retail king keeps their crown as sales hit a near all-time high. Next, Musk releases a new version of his image generator, Grok, which doesn’t care too much about the rules most AI tools should abide by. Meanwhile, the FTC finalizes a ban on fake reviews that companies use to coax customers. Plus, newly minted Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol gets a hefty pay package, dubbing him the ‘LeBron James’ of restaurants. Lastly, Steve Ballmer’s $2B Inuit Dome, home of the LA Clippers, is set to open with a performance by Bruno Mars.
