Elon Musk is viewed as overhyped in tech and media, with a specific caution against his potential woes post-election. Popular concepts like achieving success on platforms like Substack are also seen as overhyped, with skepticism about their viability for journalism. In contrast, print media and curated magazines are recognized as underhyped, experiencing a resurgence that reflects a shift in consumer interest. Local news is identified as critically underhyped, providing essential daily interactions for most audiences, while television news anchors are described as overvalued and indicative of a waning medium.
