BREAKING: TSLA down BIG in after-hours

Despite earnings win, revenue worries causes major slide ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ Tesla MISSED revenue expectations and TSLA was down big in after-hours. That's going to make things complicated for Elon Musk's Twitter takeover bid, as he's almost certainly going to have to sell Tesla stock in order to make it happen. That could also explain why Musk was desperately trying to talk up Tesla during the earnings call. Considering all the incoming fire he's taking, the last thing he needs is a stock plunge. Still, we need to be fair about this. I feel like the big story being missed here is that Tesla actually beat expectations when it comes to earnings per share. Musk also isn't just making excuses when he said that "China is experiencing a recession of sorts" due to its chaotic property markets and Europe is suffering the same because of energy. This is also a classic case where the strong dollar is actually hurting American companies by making it harder to get sales in foreign markets. Musk has a history of making big claims that he doesn't quite meet. While he gets big results, it's a mistake to hold him to deadlines. Still, I don't think it's all bluster when he talks about TSLA's future, and the market may be overreacting to what is, after all, a win on earnings. That said, there's a bigger problem that Musk, and really all of corporate America, needs to deal with. The links between the Chinese economy and ours are far more substantial than that between America's and Russia's - and look at the chaos locking out Russia has unleashed. The Biden Administration is taking strong action to prevent the sale of advanced technology to China - in truth, stronger action than anything even the "America First" Trump Administration did. For a company like Tesla or Apple, there's a real possibility of being split down the middle. They can't overcome an economic decoupling - even a small one - between America and China. (And let's be honest, a lot of the companies who are very happy to beat their chest about Ukraine get very quiet about human rights abuses in China). That's one of the big geopolitical fault lines that lies in the future - and it's a danger that not enough people are taking seriously. There are some powerful people who are planning on changing the world in terrifying ways.

Bloomberg reports that he said the Fed can't ease up on its interest rate hikes even if the benchmark hits 4.5% or 4.75%. It all depends on "underlying" inflation, particularly core inflation, which excludes food and energy.  Again, the Fed is not going to pivot. They can't put it any clearer. - Conservative Justice Asked To Block Student Debt Relief - The Biden Administration's student debt relief program may be about to hit a snag. The Brown County Taxpayers Association in Wisconsin filed a request to block the plan directed at conservative justice Amy Coney Barrett. The Department of Education has already begun a beta test for accepting applications, so the justice will need to act fast if she wants to pause the program. That could make it a potent issue for the midterms.  "3-Pillar" strategy spots a 108% surge in just 4 days... RapidFire is on fire — with new trades are on the verge of exploding soon!

Geopolitical theories that helped drive the last apocalyptic world wars are back in circulation among the powerful. Ok, that's actually terrible news. But it's reality... and it's something a lot of American investors want to just wish away. The truth is that the conflicts we see today have deep roots and policymakers are being driven by ideas not so distant from those that animated British and German military leaders in the twentieth century. Without sensationalism and without clickbait exaggeration, Mr. X breaks down what you really need to know about the geopolitical "heartland," the theory of war behind the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the man some call Russia's modern Rasputin, Alexander Dugin.
