Sites spring up to sell knockoff Jensen Huang leather jackets

Apple’s Steve Jobs had his black mock turtleneck.

Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg has his oversized tees and weird Latin text.

Nvidia’s Jensen Huang has his iconic black leather jacket.

As the cofounder and CEO of the most valuable company on earth, a lot of wannabe tech moguls probably want to emulate everything that Jensen Huang is doing — including his simple and distinctive look.

404 Media found 21 companies hawking “Jensen Huang” leather jackets online. Huang is known to wear Tom Ford jackets, which can go for nearly $10,000.

While Huang’s jargony keynotes might be getting him some sartorial buzz, it seems another tech CEO’s look is getting more attention online.

If you want to look cool in your Cybertruck while you drive past protesters at your local Tesla dealership, you could get yourself an “Elon Musk Leather Flight Jacket With Fur Lined Collar” for only $215. Searches for “elon musk jacket” were well above the other CEOs.

Reuters: Amazon to cut 30,000 corporate jobs

Amazon is planning on cutting as many as 30,000 corporate workers starting on Tuesday, nearly 10% of its 350,000 strong corporate workforce, to “pare expenses and compensate for overhiring during the peak demand of the pandemic,” Reuters reports.

Last week the New York Times reported Amazon’s plans to automate 75% of its operations in coming years, a move that could lead to 600,000 fewer hires.

“Without Elon, Tesla could lose significant value”

Tesla Chair Robyn Denholm sent shareholders a letter today pleading with them to approve CEO Elon Musk’s $1 trillion pay package — which is tied to the company’s performance over the next decade — or risk losing him.

“If we fail to foster an environment that motivates Elon to achieve great things through an equitable pay-for-performance plan, we run the risk that he gives up his executive position, and Tesla may lose his time, talent and vision, which have been essential to delivering extraordinary shareholder returns,” Denholm wrote. “Without Elon, Tesla could lose significant value.”

Many have long tied Tesla’s success to retaining its longtime CEO, even Musk himself. Musk used Tesla’s earnings call last week to plea for approving his pay package, saying that it’s the voting control more than the money that’s important.

“If we build this robot army, do I have at least a strong influence over that robot army?” Musk said.

After Tesla earnings, prediction markets think unsupervised FSD is less likely than ever to be rolled out this year

Tesla’s unsupervised full self-driving technology, which would autonomously ferry passengers around without a human driver having to pay attention, is supposed to help catapult the electric vehicle company’s valuation further into the stratosphere. It was also supposed to be available this year, but prediction markets participants, as well as former Tesla self-driving leaders, no longer think that will happen.

On Teslas earnings call this week, CEO Elon Musk said the company now had “clarity” on achieving unsupervised full self-driving — something he’s repeatedly said would be available at least in some markets this year.

The comments seemed to give Polymarket prediction markets participants some clarity. There, the market-implied probability that Tesla will release unsupervised FSD this year reached its lowest point since the event contract was opened in May.

The odds of it happening had been pretty high up until late June, when Tesla’s long-awaited robotaxi launched with a safety driver in the passenger seat. The unsupervised FSD event contract specifies the feature can have “no requirement for human intervention.”
