I've been featuring Elon Musk the past couple of days, and start off with him again because this was his   farewell moment in the Oval Office with President Donald Trump   this morning.  He is wearing a black Make American Great Again cap.  Earlier today, the  New York Times  reported: As Elon Musk entered President Trump’s orbit, he told people he was taking so much ketamine that it was affecting his bladder. He was also taking Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms, and he traveled with a daily medication box of about 20 pills .   At the same time, he faced an increasingly turbulent family life. If you're barred from reading the NYT, try the  Guardian  version.  This newspaper indicated: Popular podcaster and public intellectual Sam Harris, who publicly ended his friendship with Musk,   wrote in a January   newsletter: “There is something seriously wrong with his moral compass, if not his perception of reality.”   F...

President Donald Trump's 90-day tariff reprieve, with China being the only exception, spurred the stock market to soar yesterday, the S&P by 9%, the third-largest gain in a day since WW2, the Dow Jones had its biggest percentage gain since March 2020 and the Nasdaq the biggest one-day gain since January 2001, and second largest ever. However , noting that this 90-day delay will still mean a 145% duty of all goods from China, 25% tariffs targeting much from Canada and Mexico and 10% levy on all other imports from the world over, the market sank again today:  S&P dropped 3.46%, Dow Jones down 2.5%  (1,015) and Nasdaq Composite declined 4.31%.  Gold rose to $3117.60/ounce, 3.2% higher.  Bitcoin fell to just under $80,000, Coinbase fell 6%, while Ether and Strategy lost 8%.  Tomorrow?  Depends on what Trump does to further his insider options. Time  magazine speculated : Other Democrats raised more serious concerns. Sen. Adam Schiff of California t...

 President Donald Trump said this weekend: Is not joking about a third term .  Which is better for the U.S. than he unilaterally just becoming a dictator. Will absolutely deliver on his massive  reciprocal tariff plan on April 2 .  He dubs it Liberation Day. Reasserted that the  U.S. would 100% annex Greenland . Will ban refugees....except for White South Africans .  Guess from where comes Elon Musk?  If so, how many refugees has so far expressed interest?   67,000 . Will approve Canadian firm, The Metals Company, to  mine the deep seabed , circumventing international law, drawing denouncement from 40 countries. Lethargic help to Myanmar  recovering from the damage caused by a 7.7 earthquake.  USAID cuts reduces our ability to provide assistance worldwide. Very angry and pissed off at Vladimir Putin  for continuing the Ukraine-Russia War, a first for Trump, who has been giving the Ukraine house away. From the New York Time...
