Yes actually, having a celebrity speak favorably about a company to boost sales and/or stock value is a thing, and owning stock in a company is an obvious incentive for a person to want to boost that stock's value, fucking duh

    Openai's valuation is at 30B dollars and illiterate farmer at the end of the world knows what it is. If you think whatever RW tells pop culture magazine makes a dent in it, one way or the other, you need to recalibrate your tinfoil hat. Fucking duh.

    Valuation based on fantastical quantities of bullshit, growing public awareness that bubble will pop sooner rather than later, extremely plausible that tech companies would enlist celebrities to help prop their scheme up as long as they can, cry about it

    Why do advertisers use celebrities in their advertisements? Shits and giggles?

    advertisers use celebrities that fit the size of their business. if your business is right now literally taking over the word and it is dependent on statements of presidents and top 10 billionaires in the world, then reese witherspoon does not really play in this league and chance she will make any noticable dent in its popularity or evaluation is astronomically low.

    have you noticed that celebrities also have opinions and sometimes share them for free? when a celebrity speaks for war, are you asking "how much have you invested in military industrial complex?" when they speak against war, are you asking "how much have you invested in red cross?" when celebrity speaks about education, are you asking "have you recently invested in any private schools?"

    not everything in the world is conspiracy.
