JD Vance: “I’ve never met Putin in person. I’ve spoken to him on the phone. He was calmer than you might expect. The American media has a stereotype of him. He’s very deliberate and measured in his words.”I’ve never met Hitler, Mussolini, Castro, or Putin, but their actions tell me they represent the worst of humanity. A calm voice does not make a brutal leader any less brutal.

BREAKING: Elon Musk, Tesla, and SpaceX are facing a brand and reputational crisis. Could this even prevent Trump from completing his presidential term? According to The Telegraph, Musk proposed to Donald Trump that Starlink services in Ukraine be slowed down. Four people familiar with the matter said the billionaire tech entrepreneur suggested the slowdown to Trump, then serving as U.S. president, hampering Ukraine’s drone defense operations. Musk later distanced himself from the move over concerns about lost revenue for his companies in Europe. Such behavior is appalling. Killing civilians is acceptable, but losing revenue is not… Trump is now directly implicated in service disruptions that led to Ukrainian civilian deaths. This goes far beyond an energy deal. It is more than betrayal: he and his administration have effectively become complicit in war crimes and the killing of civilians in Ukraine.

Tesla’s flying Roadster blends engineering showmanship, brand marketing, and Musk’s personal passion. Cold-gas thrusters are old technology; putting them in a car is hard. Practical value seems limited, and safety comes first. For Tesla, the buzz may matter more to its stock than car sales.

JUST IN: Is Musk actually building a rival e-commerce brand, or just throwing a tantrum because Amazon blocked SpaceX’s Grok Bot? Elon reacted with: "Maybe we should start a competitor to Amazon." Good luck disrupting an e-commerce juggernaut over a bot dispute. As Bezos said in 2023: "I don’t really know Elon very well. I know his public persona." That public persona is back at it again. HUGE claim, if real.

Warren Buffett once asked: "Can you name me one super-wealthy economist who's ever made money out of securities?"Yes, easily: John Maynard Keynes consistently outperformed the market. David Ricardo, pioneer of comparative advantage, became the equivalent of a modern billionaire. Buffett's claim misses the mark. Furthermore, his own empire was built less on pure economics and more on insider connections, elite networks, and regulatory access. Ultimately, his carefully curated personal brand may well collapse after his passing.

This clearly shows that 'losing at the starting line' is a false premise. It also proves that as long as you work hard to catch up, you still have a chance. In Silicon Valley today, the competition among major AI models like Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, and Grok has only just begun, making it hard to tell who will ultimately come out behind.

On the left is Apple iPhone Duo, on the right is Xiaomi 18 Fold. Both are foldables, and judging purely by appearance, the difference is indeed minimal now. Previously, Xiaomi's cars also sparked heated discussions due to their resemblance to Porsche. In the end, the choice still comes down to ecosystem and actual performance, returning to the age-old debate of Android vs. iOS.
