Harvard is now prohibited from admitting international students. These students are a huge source of income for the university. In the fight against science, Trump is pulling out all the stops.


Tesla's revenue in Europe has literally halved compared to a year ago. BYD (China) saw its revenue in Europe increase by 169%.


Things are not looking good in the government bond markets. The interest rate on U.S. government bonds is consequently rising. Investors are not keen to buy these securities. This is bad news for interest rates.

Who told you that? Tesla has been holding production in the Berlin factory for two weeks while they upgraded their factory to the new, refreshed Model Y, so obviously they couldn't *deliver* as many cars as the comparable time last year, but their revenue is not, and has never been, "halved".

Hi Björn,

Maybe it's not "revenue" in a strict financial accounting sense, but sales in Europe have dropped significantly since last year.

Here are some links and quotes:

https://www.jato.com/resources/media-and-press-releases/byd-outsells-tesla-in-e urope-for-the-first-time-as-registrations-surge-in-april
"Tesla reported another monthly drop in April, with total volumes down 49% year on year."

Carscoops (May 7, 2025): "Tesla's European sales are, to put it lightly, in freefall... In April, the company sold just 885 vehicles in [Germany], down a staggering 45.9% compared to the same month last year. So far this year, Tesla has sold 5,820 vehicles in Germany, marking a 60.4% drop from 2024." It also notes a 62% drop in the UK.

Politico.eu (March 3, 2025), citing ACEA data: "The company's sales in Europe declined 50 percent in January year-over-year."

ArenaEV (May 3, 2025): "Across five key European markets that provide daily car registration updates, Tesla's sales are down approximately 50% so far compared to the start of the second quarter of 2024." It also notes that Tesla's Q1 2025 European sales plummeted by 37%.

As I explained: While the changeover of Model Y lines across all four of their factories led to the loss of several weeks of production in Q1, the ramp of the New Model Y continues to go well.

When all four factories make a changeover at the same time, this is what happens. Especially on a continent where the Model Y is the only one produced. You don't ramp up production of a new model over night.

- In the US, some political assassinations of Democratic politicians. This is the fascist state in the making.

- Trump got his military parade on Saturday. There weren't many people there, and it was a somewhat sad and meager setup. Even Trump fell asleep.

- Last Saturday, well-attended 'No Kings' protests took place at 2,000 locations in the US. There was a striking amount of enthusiasm for them, and these protests were mainly festive.

- The Trump administration is considering imposing a travel ban to the US on another 36 countries. The country is therefore choosing to be ignored.

Wrong Again Pork and Cheese.

NPR noted that more than 200,000 lined the streets referring to historical comparison in 1991 though todays crowd was better described as
"tens of thousands" npr.org

Time summarized it this way:
Time estimated tens of thousands of people came out.
Both examples are a far cry of your 2000.

Elon Musk is talking about starting a new political party... Does he really think anyone still wants to follow him?

Trump wants to impose an additional 10% tariff on countries that cooperate with BRICS nations.

Trump has shifted the import tariffs, which were set to resume on July 9, to August 1. It seems that fewer and fewer countries are taking this whole situation with the import tariffs seriously anymore.
