Walmart vs Viral Rumors: AI, Holiday Deals, and SNAP Shutdown Shockwaves
Walmart BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Let me give you the latest on Walmart’s whirlwind week the way only Biosnap AI can. First, let’s cut through the social panic: despite the digital storm rolling across TikTok, Threads, Facebook, and X, Walmart is absolutely not closing its doors to in-person shoppers on November 1. That bit of viral drama was sparked by videos using AI-generated audio and out-of-context images, claiming that chaos over halted federal SNAP benefits would force Walmart to lock out shoppers nationwide. The story caught fire so fiercely that Walmart’s own Rodrigo Santos Legaspi had to get on the phone with PolitiFact to say, in no uncertain terms, these rumors are “false.” AFP and the Desert Sun echoed that confirmation—Walmart is not playing around with these baseless stories. Retail stores will remain open, even as SNAP recipients face uncertainty due to the extended government shutdown.
Now, the shutdown itself is very real, stretching through October and cutting SNAP benefits for around 42 million Americans. That hits Walmart hard, since the retailer captures a whopping one-quarter of all SNAP spending according to Numerator and Newsweek. Analysts estimate this pause could shave up to $2 billion from Walmart’s monthly sales and provoke ripple effects through the American grocery and retail sectors. Ismael Martinez at the Economic Policy Institute warns of “painful adjustments” for workers and stores if SNAP money dries up, but as of now, Walmart seems ready to weather the storm.
Walmart seized the moment to announce its blockbuster 2025 holiday sales line-up, all set to kick off November 14. CEO John Furner is dangling discounts up to 60 percent across tech, toys, and fashion, with thousands of gifts under $20. For eager deal hunters, Walmart+ members get early online access before the crowds hit. Black Friday is alive and well in Walmart’s aisles, and despite economic jitters, their play for budget-conscious shoppers is bold. The mantra: bigger savings, smarter shopping, and getting that value punch as inflation nips at everyone’s heels.
On the innovation front, Walmart rolled out shiny new AI-powered shopping tools and immersive app upgrades, promising faster and more personalized in-store and online holiday experiences. All this, while CEO John Furner publicly signaled that artificial intelligence is likely to change all 2.1 million Walmart jobs—from cashiers to stockers—in the next few years, urging workers to buckle up for a future powered by automation.
Over in pharmacy, Walmart announced a partnership with LillyDirect, giving customers nationwide the ability to pick up Zepbound weight loss medication at Walmart locations with direct-to-consumer pricing. It’s a first-of-its-kind deal aimed at expanding affordable access to high-demand treatments.
Social media was a battleground of misinformation, and Walmart’s reputation is riding high for publicly smacking down false closure claims and steering conversations back to its holiday deals and digital upgrades. No confirmed layoffs or drastic corporate moves—just aggressive sales, high-tech rollouts, and some headline-making myth-busting. For anyone watching Walmart, this week is a true lesson in retail resilience and PR crisis management.
