Meta stock is surging, Muse is taking off, and now Amazon is fighting back. In this episode, I break down Meta’s massive move higher, why sentiment around the company has shifted so quickly, and why Amazon’s decision to block Muse may be less about “security and privacy” and more about protecting its advertising business and its direct relationship with customers. We’ll look at what happens if AI agents become the new way people shop online, how Meta could respond to Amazon’s blockade, and why I think this fight is only the beginning.We also have a new Fail of the Week. Andrew Yang went on CNBC with an extraordinary claim that rogue AI bots have “polluted” the internet to the point that major AI companies can no longer use it for training. I dig into what he actually said, whether there’s evidence behind it, and why the technical explanation raises some major questions. Plus, we revisit Gene Munster’s bearish Meta call after the stock’s huge rebound and take a closer look at just how quickly the AI landscape is changing.0:00 Meta, Muse & Amazon: The War Begins 2:00 Why Meta Stock Is Surging 3:39 Muse Changes the Meta Story 10:22 Amazon Blocks Muse 13:21 The Real Reason Amazon Is Worried 16:41 How Meta Can Respond 21:55 Gene Munster’s Meta Call Revisited 23:10 Andrew Yang’s “Polluted Internet” Claim
