    The alliance between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk spectacularly imploded on Thursday as the world’s most prominent bromance collapsed into mutual public trolling. For months, as Musk emerged as the president’s constant companion and self-proclaimed “first buddy,” the question hovered over how long a duet could last between two men used to soloing on center stage. Thursday’s angry exchanges provided a definitive answer.

    Elon Musk tentou passar por cima de um secretário de gabinete do governo Trump - novamente. O bilionário, líder do DOGE (Departamento de Eficiência Governamental) dos EUA ajudou a colocar Gary Shapley, um funcionário de nível médio do IRS (equivalente à Receita Federal), como comissário interino da agência na semana passada.

Tesla and Lyft have history. Musk announced his big bet on autonomy (1 million robotaxis by 2020) when major players in the space were Uber and Lyft, right around their IPOs. From HUBRIS MAXIMUS https://t.co/dLEe0Y6Ruj

$LYFT (+24% today): It wouldn’t surprise me to see $TSLA or another auto mnfr with autonomy ambitions buy $LYFT (Enterprise value $5.7B, $236 EV per active rider vs UBER $932 EV per MAPC) to gain access to LYFT’s 24M active riders. If TSLA bought LYFT and gave all LYFT drivers

Oggi su Il Giornale recensisco la nuova biografia di Musk, scritta dal giornalista del Washington Post @faizsays e in Italia edita da @Sperling_Kupfer: ideale compendio critico della monumentale e precedente biografia di Isaacson uscita a fine 2023. Particolarmente apprezzabile https://t.co/3MDQH0Nozq
