Tesla Inc. has gone from Wall Street’s hottest trade to most hated in a matter of months. Compounding the stock’s woes this week, a rival out of China has one-upped the company on what’s supposed to be Elon Musk’s forte: EV innovation.

Shares of Tesla tumbled 5.3 per cent Tuesday, while BYD Co. shot to an all-time high after unveiling an electric car that can be charged as quickly as a gas vehicle is refueled.

"Also in DOGE’s crosshairs is Social Security. Today the administration announced a major “organizational restructuring” of the Social Security Administration. This restructuring appears to mean large cuts to the agency, even though staffing is already at a 50-year low. It is not clear exactly how many positions will be cut; multiple outlets say half of the agency’s 57,000 employees will be let go, while an executive at the agency told Erich Wagner and Natalie Alms of Government Executive that the initial number of firings will be 7,000. At least five of the eight regional commissioners whose offices oversee and support the agency’s frontline offices across the country are leaving, and former Social Security administrator Martin O’Malley warned: “Social Security is being driven to a total system collapse.” "   â€” Heather Cox Richardson/Feb 27, 2025

They've had their eye on this one for decades. Now it will be excoriated and the Magas won't believe it until they don't get their payments. By then, the military will tamp down on any 'rebellious' ideas any Americans may have. The firings of experienced, military leaders have seen to that.

Hyberbole? Not after what we all witnessed yesterday.

Now where have I heard that before?
