Most criticism of Zitron tends to boil down to either “he’s mean/vulgar” or “he has an opinion”. Recently I saw an article that implied that Ed Zitron, owner of Ed Zitron PR and author of a couple books about public relations, was hiding the fact that he’s a PR guy.

Off the top of my head I think that he might’ve gotten inference costs wrong in an article and then corrected it, but usually I don’t see many people poking holes in his numbers.

There's a pessimistic slant on them like he says:

>By the end of the year, Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Meta will have spent over $400bn in capital expenditures, much of it focused on building AI infrastructure, on top of $228.4bn in capital expenditures in 2024

but doesn't mention those companies made over $320bn profit in 2024 so they are not really going bust over this stuff.
