Gaming stocks are dropping today after Google's rollout of Project Genie, an AI tool that lets users create and explore virtual worlds for 60 seconds. This is the result of a market that does not understand how video games are made. Allow me to suggest that the Street read Blood, Sweat, and Pixels

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.
This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

New tariff just dropped.
Americans set to pay an additional 10% tax on all goods from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.
It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June.
(Aside: A trade war with one EU country is a trade war with the entire EU).

The real takeaway here is that if Elon was to say this about China, the govt would shut down his business overnight and revoke access to the market.
But he can openly say this about the EU knowing full well any response will be slow, ineffective, and offset by US political backing.

It’s funny how Elon Musk has no problem with Chinese regulation, which is much stricter than European regulation.
Have you ever seen him call for the abolition of the CCP?
