Sagar: 我认为苹果公司5000亿美元的投资承诺是为了规避关税,实际创造的就业岗位数量可能远低于预期。许多科技公司的投资公告都存在水分,我们需要谨慎看待。微软最近调整了AI基础设施支出,取消了一些数据中心租约,这表明他们可能正在重新评估AI投资策略。 Crystal: 我同意Sagar的观点,科技公司经常夸大其词,投资公告的真实性有待考证。许多类似的承诺最终都未能兑现,例如富士康在威斯康星州的投资承诺。苹果公司此举更多的是为了讨好特朗普政府,以获得关税方面的优惠。 此外,我们还看到一些非科技公司,例如星巴克,也开始裁员,这反映出当前经济形势的严峻性。美联储的货币政策和消费者的购买力下降都对经济造成了影响。科技行业和非科技行业都面临着挑战,这预示着经济可能面临更大的风险。 Crystal: 我们不应轻信科技公司的投资承诺,直到这些承诺真正实现为止。许多类似的承诺最终都未能兑现,例如富士康在威斯康星州的投资承诺以及Lordstown汽车厂的案例。苹果公司首席执行官蒂姆·库克在政治上采取了精明的策略,特朗普政府更看重的是投资的公告本身,而非实际的投资和成果。 微软公司最近调整了其AI投资策略,取消了一些数据中心租约,这引发了市场担忧。这表明科技公司对AI的投资可能存在一定的风险和不确定性。 此外,星巴克等非科技公司也开始裁员,这反映出当前经济形势的严峻性。这与美联储的货币政策和消费者购买力下降有关。如果科技行业出现大幅下滑,可能会对整个经济产生连锁反应。
