The feud, 3 takeaways:
- is doing a lot of damage to an already weakened Trump
- it’s good Elon is helping stop Trump’s terrible bill
- Elon is a serial criminal and should be prosecuted for his illegal and destructive dismantling of the US government.

MERZ: Tomorrow is the D Day anniversary, when the Americans ended a war in Europe
TRUMP: That was not a pleasant day for you? This is not a great day
MERZ: This was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship

Ein paar interessante Erkenntnisse heute beim BDEW-Kongress: Katherina Reiche tritt deutlich anders auf als bisher: Statt 20 GW Gaskraftwerke sollen erstmal nur 5 bis 10 GW ausgeschrieben werden; die restliche Kapazität kann auch über Speicher oder Flexibilität erbracht werden, sagt sie. (1/x)

What’s remarkable is that there’s hardly any real news driving this. It’s just investors belatedly realizing that Trump is who he is, and always was.
