Tesla stock pops after-hours as Musk's promise to cut DOGE time

Tesla, Inc.'s (TSLA) stock jumped over 5% after the closing bell on Tuesday despite a big quarterly earnings miss as investor hopes were rekindled by CEO Elon Musk’s promise to refocus on his business.

Musk, who has been spending more time as part of President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in Washington, D.C., said his work outside of Tesla remained “critical.”

“Because if the ship of America goes down, we all go down with it, including Tesla and everyone else,” he said. However, he added that starting "probably next month ... my time allocation at DOGE will drop significantly."

Musk's comments overshadowed the company's disappointing Q1 print that revealed a 71% plunge in profit to $0.27 per share and a 9% drop in revenue to $19.34 billion, both missing Wall Street estimates by a wide margin.

Looking ahead, Tesla reaffirmed plans to launch a robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, by June and volume production starting next year.

Klaus Schwab steps down from WEF board amid globalist retreat

Klaus Schwab, the architect of the World Economic Forum's dystopian agenda, announced he was stepping down from the WEF board. It marks the end of an era for Schwab, who championed radical wokeness, bug eating, mass vaccination campaigns, population control, and climate de-growth policies through what often resembled digital communism—social credit scores, central bank digital currencies, and many more China-like policies. 

Meanwhile, cultural shifts across the Americas signal a rising movement toward traditional values, sending the WEF's ideological woke grip on governments, non-government organizations, corporations, the church, and society into disarray.

"Following my recent announcement, and as I enter my 88th year, I have decided to step down from the position of Chair and as a member of the Board of Trustees, with immediate effect," Schwab wrote in a statement.

Schwab stepped down as executive chairman one year ago, with former Norwegian Foreign Minister Borge Brende taking over daily operations. WEF said Vice Chairman Peter Brabeck-Letmathe was appointed board chairman in the interim and that a search committee for replacement had been appointed.

Chinese humanoid robots get reality check in half-marathon debut

Six out of 21 Chinese robots completed the world’s first half marathon (21.1 kilometres) for humanoid robots in Beijing on April 19, with the winner setting a record time of 2 hours and 40 minutes.

Over 12,000 people participated in the marathon on the same day, and the human winner reached the endpoint in 1 hour and 2 minutes.

The Tien Kung Ultra robot, developed by X-Humanoid, a Beijing-based state-owned enterprise, won the race for humanoid robots. It is 1.8 meters tall and weighs 52 kilograms.

The first runner-up, Noetix Robotics’ N2, finished the half-marathon in 3 hours 37 minutes. It is 1.2 meters tall, weighs 29 kilograms, and wears children’s trainers.

The second runner-up, DroidUp’s X02, finished the race in 4 hours and 50 minutes. It wears boxing gloves.
An unofficial team entered the competition using a Unitree G2 robot, but the robot fell at the starting point and became a talking point of the event.

Sweden moves to criminalize virginity testing and certificates

The Government and the Sweden Democrats are now taking the next step to criminalize virginity testing.

Those who perform a virginity control or intervention are proposed to be sentenced to imprisonment for up to one year, and those who issue a virginity certificate can be punished with fines or imprisonment for up to six months.

The controls are performed despite it being impossible to determine whether a girl or woman has had sexual intercourse through a medical examination. However, the consequences of these "examinations" can be significant.

The governing parties believe that one should be punishable even if there is consent from the girl or woman. They assess that the risk is high that the girl or woman has agreed to it due to fear or concern about the consequences of saying no.

The controls can be performed, for example, prior to a marriage. They are carried out by healthcare professionals, relatives, religious leaders, or others with a special position within their own group. The abuses can occur in Sweden, but also in connection with visits abroad.

Criticism of Bundestag President Klöckner from SPD and Greens

In recent discussions, members of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and the Greens have voiced strong objections to the remarks made by Bundestag President Julia Klöckner regarding the political involvement of churches in Germany. Klöckner's comments, which accused religious institutions of issuing politicized statements, have sparked significant backlash.

Greens' parliamentary leader emphasized the importance of the church's voice in addressing pressing global issues, including social justice and humanitarian concerns.

Furthermore, Ralf Stegner from the SPD criticized Klöckner's approach, interpreting it as a form of authoritarian reprimand aimed at the churches.

Interior Minister Nancy Faeser also joined the chorus of criticism, underscoring the need for an inclusive dialogue that allows religious groups to contribute to important societal discussions.

The tension surrounding this issue highlights a broader debate in Germany about the intersection of religion and politics, particularly in a democratic society where the voices of various stakeholders, including religious ones, are essential for comprehensive discourse.

China's rare earth monopoly is diminishing

Up until 2010, precious rare earths important in the production of microchips, electronics and electric motors were almost exclusively sourced in China. In recent years, several nations have picked up production again while new players entered the market, diversifying it at least to some degree.

Yet, China was still responsible for almost 70% of global production in 2024. But since many countries are wary of depending on China, especially when it comes to technology products, nations with rare earth deposits are likely to exploit them further. The U.S., however, is still shipping its rare earths to China for processing, resulting in 70 percent of U.S. rare earth imports coming from the country. Significant domestic refining capabilities have still not been developed, as issues like labor costs pose hurdles.

China also has the largest know deposits of rare earths, but Brazil, Vietnam and Russia also have a lot of (largely) untapped potential in the sector. The United States and Australia ramped up production of rare earths after 2010 and Myanmar, Thailand and most recently Nigeria also started to mine considerable amounts.

New 3500% tariffs on solar panels and related equipment

The U.S. Department of Commerce slapped high tariffs on solar panels and their related products coming from four Southeast Asian countries, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Cambodia, accusing manufacturers there of dumping products on the U.S. market.

Tariff levels varied wildly between different countries and manufacturers. Solar cells made in Malaysia by Korean company Hanwha only got a tariff of 14.64%, the lowest imposed.

In contrast, four manufacturers in Cambodia—Hounen Solar, Jintek Photovoltaic, ISC Cambodia, and Solar Long PV Tech—got tariffs of 3,521.14%. The Southeast Asian country stopped cooperating with the U.S. probe, leading to such high penalties. While Cambodia is still primarily an agrarian economy, solar panels were the Southeast Asian country’s top export to the U.S. last year.

Chinese-owned solar manufacturing facilities have popped up across Southeast Asia as companies sought to navigate U.S.-China trade frictions. In total, the U.S. imported $12.9 billion worth of solar equipment from the four countries targeted by Monday’s tariffs, representing about 77% of module imports.

U.S. solar manufacturers lobbied for antidumping tariffs on Southeast Asian manufacturers, accusing them of pricing their products below production cost. The American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee also argued that Southeast Asian companies received an unfair level of subsidies, making U.S.-made solar panels uncompetitive.

Trump slams Zelensky for rejecting Ukraine-Russia negotiations

President Donald Trump slammed Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, accusing him of derailing negotiations to end the war in Ukraine while a peace deal was “very close.”

Trump has slammed President Zelensky in a Wednesday post on Truth Social, saying of the Ukrainian leader, "if he wants Crimea, why didn’t they fight for it eleven years ago when it was handed over to Russia without a shot being fired"... and "He can have Peace or, he can fight for another three years before losing the whole Country."

The fiery denunciation appears in direct response to Zelensky the day prior rejecting Washington demands that Ukraine be ready to formally recognize Russian sovereignty over Crimea. Trump continued, "It's inflammatory statements like Zelensky’s that makes it so difficult to settle this War. He has nothing to boast about!"

After militant attack in Kashmir, Pakistan braces for strike by India

The Pakistani government struck a measured tone after militants killed more than two dozen Indian civilians in Kashmir on Tuesday, insisting that it has no interest in seeing tensions with India escalate.

But across Pakistan, people are watching with growing concern as Indian officials hint at the possibility of military strikes, and the television airwaves have been filled with defense analysts warning of unpredictable consequences if hostilities between the nuclear-armed neighbors intensify.

The Indian government has not officially identified any group as being behind the attack in a scenic tourist area of Indian-administered Kashmir. But it announced a flurry of punitive measures against Pakistan on Wednesday, including the suspension of a critical water treaty, in answer to what it said was Pakistan’s support of terrorist attacks inside India.

After the Indian announcement, Pakistan said the National Security Committee, the country’s highest decision-making forum on security and foreign policy, is to formulate a response.

Kashmir is a region both countries claim and have fought wars over.

US court keeps Trump tariffs in force against group of small businesses

A U.S. federal court on Tuesday allowed President Donald Trump's tariffs against a group of small businesses to remain in force for now, saying the businesses had not shown they would immediately be harmed by new taxes on imports.

A group of five companies sued the Trump administration last week, in one of five lawsuits arguing that the president had overstepped his authority when he imposed sweeping tariffs on foreign trading partners.

One of the plaintiffs, MicroKits, an educational electronic kits maker, said that it may have to pause operations “in about seven weeks” once it runs out of parts, which it normally imports from China.

In a brief two-page order, the court’s three-judge panel declined to issue a restraining order on the grounds that the plaintiffs had not shown they would face irreparable harm if the tariffs were implemented.

Klaus Schwab’s WEF replacement revealed, and he’s even more evil…

Klaus Schwab, the German economist who spent over five decades leading the World Economic Forum, announced his resignation as chair of the board of trustees on April 21. His replacement, former Nestlé CEO Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, a longstanding advocate of corporate control over basic resources such as water, has intensified fears among critics who argue his appointment signals the WEF’s unwavering commitment to a centralized, globalist agenda that threatens individual freedoms.

The interim chair’s first actions underscore the continuity of Schwab’s vision. Brabeck-Letmathe is infamous for declaring in 2018: “Water is not a human right, but a commodity” — a stance that sparked global outrage. At Nestlé, he oversaw policies prioritizing corporate water usage rights over community access, including lobbying against municipal water protections during droughts.

Activists and libertarians argue Brabeck-Letmathe’s elevation positions the WEF as a vehicle for further consolidating control over resources through centralized global governance. While the WEF claims its mission is “to improve the state of the world,” critics note Brabeck-Letmathe’s track record offers little comfort, including his advocacy for strict regulatory oversight over personal water use, effectively systematizing scarcity.

Supporters praised Brabeck-Letmathe’s experience in navigating corporate-government collaboration, but dissenters argue his interim role distracts from urgent issues like supply chain ethics.

NASA rover discovers out-of-place 'Skull' on Mars, and scientists are baffled

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover has come across several unusual rocks that don't seem to be in their original place.

Perseverance is currently searching for signs of ancient life in the hills and rocky outcrops along the rim of the Jezero Crater — a barren, bowl-shaped depression north of the Martian equator that scientists suspect held a huge lake billions of years ago. Since December 2024, the rover has been trekking down a tall slope called Witch Hazel Hill, which scientists hope will provide clues about Mars' past climate.

On April 11, Perseverance paused at a visually distinct geological boundary where light and dark rock outcrops meet. Here, one particular rock, which scientists nicknamed "Skull Hill," stood out against the surrounding light-toned, rock-riddled surface due to its dark color, angular shape and pitted texture, according to a NASA blog post.

"We've found a few of these dark-toned floats in the Port Anson region," the post noted. "The team is working to better understand where these rocks came from and how they got here."

WHAT'S WRONG WITH DEMOCRACY IN EUROPE?

Europe again tops the EIU's democracy rankings despite a general deterioration in the world.
EIU rates 167 countries on a scale of 0 to 10. Countries are then divided into 4 categories: full-fledged democracies, imperfect democracies, hybrid regimes and authoritarian regimes.


▪️9 of the 10 most democratic countries are in Western Europe, and more than half of the 25 full democracies are located there. Europe's resilience is due to strong institutions and traditions.

Nevertheless, many Europeans are disillusioned. In Greece, 80% are dissatisfied with democracy; in Britain, 60% are dissatisfied. Even in Germany and the Netherlands, support is declining, reinforcing the populists' position.

▪️The reasons are inflation, economic anxieties, migration and cultural disputes. These same factors are undermining stability in other countries as well.

So far, European institutions are strong, but France has already been downgraded to an “imperfect democracy.” Unless action is taken, other countries may follow suit.

White House officially recognizes COVID-19 as a Chinese laboratory virus

Donald Trump's team never ceases to surprise the electorate - this time the Republicans have officially announced that COVID-19 is a Chinese laboratory virus.

➡️ As of April 18, 2025, the Covid.gov and Covidtests.gov websites, which previously provided information on coronavirus testing, vaccination, and treatment, have been redirected to a new White House page called “Lab Leak: The True Origins of COVID-19.”

➡️ The site contains the thesis that SARS-CoV-2 originated from a leak from a Chinese laboratory in Wuhan, and that the World Health Organization (WHO), Joe Biden's Senior Medical Advisor Anthony Fauci, and the 46th President's administration itself deliberately withheld this information.

Border Czar says 68,000 illegal immigrants arrested so far, more to come

Approximately 68,000 illegal aliens were arrested inside the United States over the past three months, Tom Homan, designated the border czar by President Donald Trump, told reporters at the White House on April 23.

“And we’re going to continue, despite what the district court says,” Homan said, referring to ongoing legal battles surrounding Trump’s deportation orders.

U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein issued a ruling on April 9, which he extended on April 22, blocking the federal government from utilizing the act, citing a lack of legal protection for the accused.

Homan pushed back on the court’s decision and said appeals are underway.

“Maybe we’ve got to hold off on some of the deportation operation we’re doing, but it’s not going to stop us from seeking these people now, arresting them, and taking them off the streets of the United States while we’re waiting for the courts to decide,” he said.

[PPP] stands for Purchasing Power Parity.

▪️[PPP] is adjusted for price level and inflation.
▪️It reflects the real purchasing power in each country.
▪️A more accurate estimate of what people can afford in local conditions.
