Many U.S. brands are taking the flak arising from the bad reputation that the country is getting in different parts of the world. For example, Elon Musk’s backing of Donald Trump and his polarizing political opinions on how Europe should be led have caused Tesla to lose its sales volumes in countries like Germany. In fact, many owners of Tesla vehicles have gone as far as placing stickers on their vehicles stating that they acquired those electric vehicles before the owner of the company “went mad.” The way in which Trump has upset global trade with his tariffs has also…

As AI Use Grows, Social Media is Reaching an Inflection Point

Social media was premised on delivering platforms where people could interact authentically. Platforms promised to foster genuine connections, allowing users to see the things they were generally interested in, such as the photos of a friend’s wedding or your nephew’s dog.
