Family member asked me over the holidays to play Words With Friends #WWF with them. Sign in for the first time in years.…the amount of ads in that game now is seriously a sight to behold. They must have an insanely dedicated user base. Not sure if I should be impressed or appalled.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump were trading shots at each other on June 5th. $TSLA then went down 15%. That should not happen. A company should not lose market cap because of the president’s opinion of the CEO.
