After seeing Morgan Stanley's new $TSLA analyst awarding a $210bn ($60/share) valuation for Tesla's (non-existent) Optimus program, I've been gathering a list of Musk's "fails".
Interesting to find that, since his "homerun" with the Model Y, Musk's been on a non-stop downward spiral of innovation.

Trump’s Attack on Somali Americans Is Vile Fascism

That the Estancia ICE facility would lose detainees as it operates without a contract is “striking,” said immigration attorney Zoe Bowman. "The Trump administration is doing absolutely everything they can to detain as many people as possible and fill ICE detention beds,” she said.

State insurance regulators - often appointed by Dems! - have the power to reject the increases but they are approving them with no resistance & basically nobody is challenging those decisions.

Some seem to think Trump is threatening to scale back support for Ukraine. In fact, Trump stopped support on Day 1 and instead only pressures Ukraine. The aid that continued trickling was Biden era commitments. Intelligence sharing remains, which is important, no doubt, but it hardly counts as aid.

Shocking ahistorical error on NPR's Morning Edition, which stated as fact that America had "record" inflation under Biden, a frequent fact-free Trump claim.
Biden topped 9%, then brought it down to under 3%.
The record? 23.7% in 1920, but also 14.4% in 1947, and 14.8% as the '70s became the '80s.
