In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, we take a hard look at how corporate giants like General Motors are bending the knee to whichever political wind is blowing—left, right, or upside down.Mary Barra plays the DC game like a pro, flipping from Trump's tariffs to Biden's EV mandates and back again, all while pocketing billions in subsidies and government favors. Is this capitalism? Or is it state-controlled cronyism wrapped in red tape?We connect the dots between appeasement economics, taxpayer-funded bailouts, and the revolving door of political power that's dictating how American businesses run. From tariffs to tax credits, climate goals to corporate virtue signals—this is the true cost of letting Washington call the plays.Because when CEOs take orders from politicians, we're not in a free market anymore. We're in something else entirely. Tune in. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1055: Today we cover Stellantis' new CEO facing a storm of tariffs and dealer tensions, GM's surprising pivot back to big V-8s, and DeLorean's futuristic EV launch… that's more crypto maze than car.Show Notes with links:After a six-month search, Stellantis has named Antonio Filosa as its new CEO. With more than 25 years in the industry and leadership experience across Brazil, North America, and global roles, Filosa is stepping in as the company faces pressure on multiple fronts.Filosa starts as CEO on June 23, replacing Carlos Tavares after his December resignation.Currently COO for the Americas and global chief quality officer, he's credited with restoring confidence internally.Challenges include reversing a 10% Q1 shipment drop, regaining dealer trust, and addressing a potential $7.1B hit from Trump's proposed 25% tariffs.Filosa has reinstalled key leadership—bringing back Ram's Tim Kuniskis and U.S. sales head Jeff Kommor—to stabilize operations.“One of my first decisions has been to bring back talents that we lost in the past,” Filosa told reporters in January.The EV slowdown has prompted General Motors to double down on internal combustion, shelving a $300 million plan for EV motors at its Tonawanda, NY plant and instead committing a massive $888 million to next-gen V-8 engine production.The site will continue producing Gen 5 V-8s while ramping up for Gen 6 engines by 2027.New engines will feature performance-boosting and emission-cutting innovations.Investment includes machinery, tooling, and facility upgrades—the largest ever for a GM engine plant.New York Governor Kathy Hochul said the project will support 870 jobs at Tonawanda Propulsion, including 177 jobs deemed at risk“This investment shows the company's commitment to strengthening American manufacturing,” said CEO Mary Barra.The DeLorean Alpha5 EV promised a high-tech return to the future, but it's now stuck in development limbo, with no production timeline or pricing—and buyers are being asked to reserve with cryptocurrency and NFTs.Reservations require $2,500 in USDC crypto via a specialized Slush Wallet and purchase of an NFT.No refunds are offered—buyers can resell their spot in line to recoup funds.Fewer than 600 reservations have been made, with some resale spots priced up to $40,000.The Alpha5, if it arrives, will offer 300+ miles of range and sub-3-second 0-60 performance.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Automotive nostalgia takes center stage as we explore five legendary car manufacturers that deserve resurrection in today's market. From AMC's innovative Javelin AMX with its performance-focused design to Pontiac's revolutionary GTO that birthed the American muscle car movement, these vanished brands left tire tracks too deep to be forgotten. The distinctive bullet-nosed Studebaker Champion once captured hearts with its unique styling and affordability, while Mercury established itself as America's sixth most popular car brand in the early 1950s with classics that remain custom car holy grails. Plymouth's no-frills Roadrunner proved that accessible performance could dominate the muscle car scene.Our Hemings' Sold Car Roundup segment reveals surprising current values for classic automobiles. A 1989 Cadillac Alante sells for just $5,400, while a pristine '64 Chevelle commands $31,500. These figures demonstrate that classic car ownership remains attainable for many enthusiasts, with everything from British Triumphs to American muscle changing hands at reasonable prices.We also examine concerning trends in the automotive industry, where executive compensation continues to skyrocket despite persistent quality issues. Ford CEO Jim Farley earned $24.9 million despite missing quality and EV sales targets, while GM's Mary Barra received $29.5 million as Detroit's highest-paid auto executive for the ninth time in ten years.Whether you're dreaming of bygone automotive eras or tracking today's industry developments, this episode delivers insights that both casual drivers and dedicated enthusiasts will appreciate.

IntroductionLIVE from a bottomless pit of CEO pay, it's a Business Pants Friday Show here at March 21st Studios, featuring AnalystHole Matt Moscardi. On today's weekly wrap up: Nelson Peltz hates woke ice cream, Self-hating Cybertrucks, and anti-ESG manbabies Our show today is being sponsored by Free Float Analytics, the only platform measuring board power, connections, and performance for FREE.Story of the Week (DR):‘Incompetent:' Jamie Dimon unloads on proxy advisor ISSJamie Dimon said Glass Lewis and Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) should be “gone and dead and done with”, as he also launched an attack on those who pay for their services.In an interview with Semafor at Blackrock's retirement summit, Mr Dimon said: “Anyone who gives them money – shame on you.”Unilever hit ‘new levels of oppressiveness,' Ben & Jerry's claims as its CEO was sacked over social activismIce cream maker Ben & Jerry's has accused its parent company of firing its CEO David Stever over his support of the brand's progressive politics.On Tuesday, the Vermont-based brand filed an amended complaint in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging that Unilever “has repeatedly threatened Ben & Jerry's personnel, including CEO David Stever, should they fail to comply with Unilever's efforts to silence the Social Mission.”Ben & Jerry's said Unilever informed its board on March 3 that it was removing and replacing Ben & Jerry's CEO David Stever. Ben & Jerry's said that violated its merger agreement with Unilever, which states that any decisions regarding a CEO's removal must come after a consultation with an advisory committee from Ben & Jerry's board.“empowered to protect and defend Ben & Jerry's brand equity and integrity”White man David Stever, 4 women of color (one who is the chair), and two black men. In Vermont? Are they trolling us?!?! I guess it can be done. Unilever board member Nelson Peltz is still trying to find a white actor for Black PantherUnilever has not publicly disclosed a reason for Stever's firingThe ice cream company has a unique corporate structure that was meant to protect its activist mission, even after its 2000 sale to Unilever:Independent Board of Directors: Unlike most Unilever-owned brands, Ben & Jerry's has an independent board specifically tasked with preserving the company's social mission.Merger Agreement Protections: The 2000 acquisition agreement required consultation with the board for key leadership decisions, including hiring or firing the CEO.Social Mission Oversight: The board exists to prevent the dilution of the company's activist identity—something that appears to be under increasing pressure.Ben & Jerry's Founders Say They Stand Behind Ousted CEOBoeing Sued for Wrongful Death by Family of WhistleblowerBoeing pushed John Barnett, who was a quality manager at Boeing for nearly three decades, to his death by harassing and intimidating him after he raised safety concerns about the company's plant building the 787 Dreamliner in Charleston, South Carolina, a wrongful death lawsuit filed in federal court in the state alleges. His family claim in their suit that Boeing responded by carrying out a “campaign of harassment, abuse and intimidation intended to discourage, discredit and humiliate him until he would either give up or be discredited”.In the evening of March 8th last year, Barnett left the law offices of Boeing's outside counsel in Charleston after testifying for two days in the OSHA case. Barnett was giving his account of how Boeing violated its own policies and procedures, and FAA rules, during his seven years as a quality inspector at the North Charleston plant that assembles the 787 Dreamliner. He'd delayed a trip back to his home in Louisiana to finish his deposition the next day, a Saturday. Videos cited in the police report show Barnett leaving the hotel around 8:30 PM, and getting in his Clemson orange, Dodge truck. When Barnett failed to show by the 10 AM starting time for his final round of testimony, Turkewitz called the Holiday Inn to conduct a “welfare check.”Note: “America come together or die!!! Pray that the motherfk…ers who destroyed my life pay!!! I pray that Boeing pays!!! Bury me face down so that Boeing and their lying ass leaders can kiss my ass. I can't do this any longer!!! F-k Boeing!!!'Business has been neglected': Longtime Tesla investor demands Elon Musk resign as CEO MMElon Musk Says He Has No Idea What He Did to Make Everybody So Mad at Him"It's really come as quite a shock to me that there is this level of, really, hatred and violence from the left.""My companies make great products that people love and I've never physically hurt anyone.”“So why the hate and violence against me?”"I always thought that the left, you know, Democrats, were supposed to be the party of empathy, the party of caring, and yet they're burning down cars, they're firebombing dealerships, they're firing bullets into dealerships, they're smashing up Teslas," Musk said. "Tesla is a peaceful company. We've never done anything harmful.""I've never done anything harmful."“Because I am a deadly threat to the woke mind parasite and the humans it controls."Tesla just recalled basically all the Cybertrucks ever sold in AmericaTesla workers in Germany say they don't have time to use the bathroomTesla workers at a German factory say working conditions don't allow them enough time for drinking or bathroom breaks.Over 3,000 workers at a Tesla gigafactory near Berlin have signed a petition asking for more breaks and an end to intimidation from management, according to a statement from German metalworker's union IG Metall.A Huge Amount of Money Is Missing From TeslaEven the company's financials are now sprouting some glaring questions. As the Financial Times reports, a whopping $1.4 billion appears to have vanished in thin air. The enormous hole arises when examining the carmaker's capital expenditures and how those compare to the reported rise of the value of its assets.According to Tesla's cashflow statements, the firm spent $6.3 billion on "purchases of property and equipment excluding finance leases, net of sales" in the second half of 2024. However, its balance sheet claims the gross value of property, plant, and equipment rose by only $4.9 billion — leaving an eyebrow-raising $1.4 billion discrepancy.Musk Set to Receive Top-Secret Briefing on U.S. War Plans for ChinaMusk Tells Tesla Workers: Don't Sell Your SharesTesla board members, executive sell off over $100 million of stock in recent weeksTogether, four top officers at the company have offloaded over $100 million in shares since early February.Last week, longtime Musk ally James Murdoch became the latest to do so, exercising a stock option and selling shares worth approximately $13 million, according to an SEC filing.Elon Musk's brother, Kimbal Musk, who also sits on the board, unloaded 75,000 shares worth approximately $27 million last month, according to a filing.The chairman of the board, Robyn Denholm, has offloaded more than $75 million dollars worth of shares in two transactions in the past five weeks, federal filings show.Goodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: Chobani CEO: Why we're now giving all workers at least 12 weeks of parental leaveDR: JD Vance rips globalization, calling cheap labor a 'drug'MM: Tesla Cybertruck deliveries are on hold as trims are flying off the 'bulletproof' truck DRThey recalled ALL of them - imagine if Mary Barra put out a car at GM that, 1 year after releasing, they had to recall ALL of them?

Una de las industrias que más se está viendo perjudicada por los aranceles es la del automóvil. Según un estudio realizado por el banco de inversión Benchmark Co, las próximas tarifas de Trump elevarán el coste medio de los automóviles en Estados Unidos en 5.790 dólares. El precio medio de un coche en el país pasaría a ser de 54.500 dólares, un 12 % más que en 2024. Y es que México, uno de los países afectados por los aranceles, es también uno de los mayores exportadores de vehículos al país norteamericano. Según datos de la Secretaría de Economía de México, el país exporta vehículos por valor de 35.000 millones de dólares. Esto lógicamente tiene preocupados a los CEOs de las principales marcas de automóviles estadounidenses. Ignacio Vacchiano, country manager en Iberia De Leverage Shares. La preocupación por estos aranceles se instaló en estas marcas ya desde que Trump ganó las elecciones. Mary Barra, CEO de General Motors, reveló que su compañía ya estaba tomando medidas desde entonces. Desde General Motors parecen que están más en línea con la política de Trump. Barra, durante una conferencia de inversiones de Wolfe Research, dijo creer que política iba a seguir Trump y que esperaba mitigar el impacto de estos aranceles en un 50%. Además, reconoció hace un par de semanas a la CNBC que mantuvo una “conversación gratificante” con el presidente. Desde la compañía tienen claro que México juega un papel fundamental. Unos contraaranceles de los dos países pertenecientes al TMEC también provocaría que los coches estadounidenses fueran más caros en Canadá y en México, algo de suma importancia si vemos como son las exportaciones de vehículos en estos dos países. En 2023, dos de los coches más vendidos en México fueron la Equinox Chevrolet, de General Motors y la RAM 2500 de Chrysler. En Canadá por ejemplo, el coche más vendido fue el Ford F-series. Además, el producto que más exportó Estados Unidos a Canadá en 2023 fueron los coches, por un valor de 16 mil millones de dólares. Uno de los puntos más débiles de estas dos economías es la poca importancia que tienen por el momento sus marcas propias. Tanto en México como en Canadá la industria automovilística es muy importante pero el terreno lo tenían ganado las marcas extranjeras. Ahora puede ser un buen momento para apostar aún más por sus propias marcas de coches.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss the dramatic turn of events that led GM to abruptly shut down Cruise, just days before a planned driver-out launch in Houston. The decision made by CEO Mary Barra, reportedly stems from fears of another incident.With the decision to pull the plug on Cruise, GM burnt $9 billion of investment dollars with nothing to show for it. The Cruise shutdown highlights the ongoing challenges of how traditional automakers are approaching autonomy. As traditional automakers falter, Waymo and Tesla continue to accelerate as the market is beginning to consolidate around them as the leaders in robotaxis.As we look to 2025, more consolidation is likely on the way, with Daimler Truck potentially scaling back their in-house autonomous trucking program (Torc Robotics). Then there is Uber which is struggling to define their autonomy narrative to the market.

Shoot us a Text.With only 3 Thursdays left in the year, we're covering how General Motors has shut down its robotaxi division. Plus, dealer sentiment is up now that we're past the election, and Google has announced a potentially massive breakthrough in quantum computing.General Motors (GM) has decided to shut down its Cruise robotaxi division after years of significant investment and high hopes. Once considered a $50 billion revenue opportunity by 2030, the move signals a shift in GM's strategic focus.GM shares briefly rose following the announcement, reflecting investor relief over reducing the estimated $10 billion spent on Cruise's development.Cruise employees were notified via Slack, linking to a press release titled “GM to refocus autonomous driving development on personal vehicles,” sparking frustration among the workforceGM plans to integrate some Cruise talent into its driver-assistance technology programs while doubling down on gasoline-powered trucks and SUVs, which remain its profit drivers.CEO Mary Barra defended the decision, stating: “We looked at the amount of money to deploy a robotaxi business and to maintain that business… it's quite a bit of capital. A robotaxi business is not GM's core business.”The latest Q4 2024 Cox Automotive Dealer Sentiment Index (CADSI) brings a wave of optimism among U.S. auto dealers, reflecting improving confidence in the industry despite lingering challenges in the current market.The market outlook index rose to 54, a substantial leap from 42 in Q3, marking the largest quarterly surge in CADSI history. Dealers credit political clarity and potential economic measures like tax rebates for the boost.Franchised dealers are more optimistic (index 50) compared to independent used-only dealers (index 39).The top concerns for dealers in Q4 2024 are economic conditions (56%), high interest rates (52%), weak market conditions (37%), the political climate (35%), and rising expenses (33%).“The recent resolution of political uncertainty...has cleared the path for a more optimistic outlook on future auto market conditions,” said Jonathan Smoke, chief economist at Cox Automotive.Google has unveiled Willow, its latest quantum computing chip, claiming a monumental breakthrough in error correction and computation speed. However, experts remain cautious, pointing out that quantum computing still lacks practical, real-world applications.Willow can solve a problem in 5 minutes that would take today's supercomputers 10 septillion years—far beyond the universe's age.Willow reduces errors exponentially as qubits (units of information in quantum computing, capable of existing as 0, 1, or a superposition of both simultaneously) scale, cracking a 30-year challenge in quantum error correction.Experts agree it's an exciting milestone but emphasize the need for a “ChatGPT moment” to unlockHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

General Motors announced Tuesday a fundamental restructuring of its autonomous vehicle strategy, abandoning its robotaxi ambitions to concentrate on developing self-driving technology for personal vehicles. This strategic pivot marks the end of GM's high-profile bet on Cruise LLC, its majority-owned subsidiary that aimed to revolutionize urban transportation through driverless taxis. The decision sends ripples through the automotive industry as GM, America's largest automaker, moves to consolidate its autonomous driving efforts under a unified structure. The company plans to merge Cruise's technical teams with GM's existing autonomous vehicle division, creating a single focused unit dedicated to advancing driver assistance systems and autonomous capabilities for consumer vehicles. Mary Barra, GM's chair and chief executive officer, framed the decision within the company's broader strategic vision. "GM is committed to delivering the best driving experiences to our customers in a disciplined and capital efficient manner," Barra stated, emphasizing the company's determination to maintain its position in the evolving automotive landscape while managing resources more effectively. The financial implications of this strategic shift are substantial, with GM projecting annual savings exceeding $1 billion once the restructuring concludes in the first half of 2025. This cost reduction comes at a crucial time for the automotive giant, which has invested heavily in autonomous technology development over the past decade. Cruise employees learned of the dramatic shift during a hastily arranged all-hands meeting Tuesday afternoon, where senior leadership, including CEO Marc Whitten, delivered the news. The announcement left many workers surprised and uncertain about their future roles, particularly those in non-engineering positions related to robotaxi operations.

Shoot us a Text.This Thursday morning, we're covering GM having over $5B in non-cash charges with its China operations and how a crypto millionaire is launching a unique $2M treasure hunt.Show Notes with links:General Motors announced over $5 billion in non-cash charges tied to its struggling operations in China, reflecting the immense challenges foreign automakers face in the world's largest auto market.GM faces charges of $2.6-$2.9 billion for restructuring and $2.7 billion for reduced value in its joint-venture with SAIC.The company's Chinese operations saw a 59% sales drop through November, selling 371,000 units compared to BYD's 3.7 million.GM isn't alone in facing challenges in China—Volkswagen has seen declining sales, Nissan is cutting 9,000 jobs, and Ford is shifting focus to vehicle exports as competition from local automakers intensifies.CEO Mary Barra has described China as "untenable for many corporations."Some experts are concerned that the Chinese market may not be viable for Western automakers, with Bernstein analysts saying: “Headwinds in China remain too great to create meaningful profitability.”Entrepreneur Jon Collins-Black has launched a nationwide treasure hunt, hiding five chests worth $2 million across the U.S. Clues are embedded in his new book, There's Treasure Inside.Collins-Black is a Bitcoin millionaire with a passion for unique collections.The treasure includes items like Bitcoin, shipwreck bounty, rare Pokémon cards, and historical artifacts from figures like George Washington and Amelia Earhart.Each chest is custom-made by a blacksmith, with one larger chest holding the "lion's share" of riches.Over five years of planning went into this project, including expert consultation and detailed documentation of the treasures.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

Fostering Inclusive Workplace Relationships and Equity Lisa and Michael discussed the importance of fostering relationships and community within the workplace. They highlighted the need for inclusive activities that cater to diverse needs, such as potlucks and childcare services. Lisa emphasized the impact of caregiving responsibilities on women's participation in the workforce, suggesting that paid childcare could be a significant benefit. Michael agreed, noting the need for work to be reinvented to accommodate individual needs and promote equity. They both expressed hope for a future where work is more accessible and equitable, leading to better products and services for everyone.

For millions of people across the country, a week on a lake is a dream vacation. This year Host Jack Nerad and his family found that out firsthand as they drove a 2024 Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro to Cedar Creek Lake south of Dallas for some serious driving and welcome R and R. As the Nerads discovered, the Sequoia had the goods to offer dual duty as both a serious off-roader and a practical family hauler. The third-generation Sequoia three-row SUV delivered luxurious comfort, impressive technology and exceptional convenience features. The twin-turbo V6 hybrid powertrain offers plenty of acceleration with 437 horsepower and a whopping 583 pound-feet of torque. Towing a big boat is child's play with an impressive 9,520-pound maximum towing capacity. For the stock-up stop at the big box store, the Sequoia offers a cavernous cargo area and an innovative multi-level cargo system. When it comes to all-terrain capability, the TRD Pro's part-time four-wheel-drive system includes a transfer case, controlled via a button on the center console, to select between 2WD, 4WD high and 4WD low. The multi-link rear and available air suspensions keep the vehicle in firm control. Nerad will recount more of his family's adventures as the road tests unroll. In our second road test this week, Co-Host Chris Teague will discuss his family's recent purchase, the 2024 Honda Prologue. Making the big leap into the electric vehicle lifestyle, the Teague family has already experienced the joys and travails of battery power. Teague will share far more in this episode. Our special guest is George Baker, General Motors' Vehicle Security Lead. He will discuss ways to avoid becoming a car theft victim. Car theft is on the rise across the country, so you'll want to hear what he has to say. In the news, Tesla's Elon Musk has just hinted that the debut of the carmaker's robotaxi will be delayed. We'll tell you why and what all means coming up. General Motors CEO Mary Barra has just revealed that her company's goal of producing one million electric vehicles in North America is, in her words, “uncertain.” We'll have the details and our thoughts. Meanwhile, hundreds of MINIs are scurrying across the western United States this weekend, and we”ll tell you all about that. Also in the news, Consumer Reports has released its list of the Best Electric Vehicles, and we'll tell you about the surprising top-rated car and other surprises on the list with, of course, our comments.

I think you can add EVs to that."Mike Murphy, a Republican strategist, noted, "There is a hearts-and-minds resistance to EVs, mostly on the Republican side. If you can't break down that tribalism, the industry isn't going to sell enough EVs."Bill Wallace, a South Florida car dealer, noted that about one-third of his customers express adamant opposition to EVs, viewing them as government control."They are angry," Wallace said. "They feel like it's the government trying to control their lives." he continued ““I said, ‘Mary (Barra), you have to understand the red-state mentality.
