Elon’s fight with Trump is bludgeoning Tesla stock. Does anyone feel bad for either one of them?

Parades here, ethnic cleansing there — both headlines on the same day. Very on-brand. @cnbc.com @nbcnews.com

Are we still pretending this is about free speech?

1/Just back from 2 weeks in Asia. US engaged in the most far reaching attempt to restructure the global economy in a century and we have hit the omnishambles portion of the program: undermining US economic security and weaken US credibility in the world. fortune.com/article/trum...

To the point, Lummis wants to buy $83B in BTC. 83 billion dollars on something that can lose massive amounts of value within an hour. I'm a fan of bitcoin - but there's no strategic reason for a reserve in tradeable, *hackable* currency.

Another Trump sycophant telling lies. Ukraine's constitution is clear, Zelensky can't hold an election even if he wanted to. The war must end first: www.politico.eu/article/trum...
