President-Elect Selects Susie Wiles For Chief Of Staff -- Another First -- Second Most Powerful Position In The World? November 7, 2024

Counterintuitive: the best thing with regard to the Trump phenomenon? That "gap year." Or rather, the "four-year-gap." It gave him four years to prepare for his second term. This will turn out to be huge for him and his administration.

Still the most fun I'm having: Sky News.com.au, lefties losing itGutfeld!

US Senate, is it now 53 - 45? With two uncalled -- Nevada and Arizona? Link here.


White House, US president's chief of staff: first female for this post ever in the history of the US; appointed by President-elect Trump. Susie Wiles with an incredible resume. Probably the second most important position in the US, after POTUS.

"Fed chair": can only be removed "for cause." A bit unclear who can remove the "Fed chair" "for cause." So, already that's an issue for the press. Current "Fed chair" was originally appointed by President-elect Trump.  

The first "influencer" election: won by Trump. Perhaps most powerful, Joe Rogan. As folks may remember, Kamala Harris unable to fit a 3-hour podcast into her busy schedule. Link here.

Original Post

Just reported, three minutes ago.

  • a miss on the top and bottom lines. 
  • 3Q24 revenue, a huge miss: $874 million vs $990 million forecast.
    • a loss of $39,130 per vehicle
  • that's $9,000 worse than 3Q224 (last year)
  • a loss off 99 cents vs a loss of 92 cents expected
  • guidance: wider loss for full year than originally forecast -- trending in wrong direction 
    • in interview with CNBC: CEO blames everything, including supply change shortages (plural; below, it was singular)
    • to me, sounds like incredibly poor execution
    • CEO calls it "noise." 
    • avoids answering finance questions; pivots back to building a better truck; focused on customer;

From a month ago:


Revenue drops for first time since IPO, link here:

  • due to short supply of a part, Rivian last month slashed its full-year production forecast to between 47,000 and 49,000 vehicles, from its earlier projection of 57,000 units;
  • 50,000 vehicles x $39,000 = 50 x 40 x 10^6 = 50 x 40 x million = 2,000 million = $2 billion
