In a recent discussion on X Spaces, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk made headlines with his controversial remarks about the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the role of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Musk, who was addressing US Republican Senators opposed to a draft bill providing additional wartime aid to Ukraine, suggested that Putin is under immense pressure to end the conflict.

Donald Trump was shot at today during an election rally in Pennsylvania. The former US President is reported to be safe and recuperating under medical care. However, conflicting reports are emerging about the incident. While Trump asserts that he was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of his right ear, law enforcement officials claim he was hit by glass fragments, possibly from a teleprompter broken by the bullets. This discrepancy has fueled conspiracy theories, with some social media users calling the event a staged 'photo op' for sympathy and votes. President Biden has condemned the attack as "sick," and tech mogul Elon Musk has publicly endorsed Trump following the incident. The true details of what happened remain under investigation.

The SEC relies on administrative
law judges (ALJ) to make legal conclusions
in cases brought before the agency.
The Supreme Court's decision has the potential
to send ripples through dozens of agencies,
from labor rights to energy regulation.
The Court did exclude from its decision those
agencies dealing with federal benefits, while some
conservative justices wanted the ruling to go further.
The three liberal justices
in dissent blasted the
decision by the majority. .
The case was brought by a former conservative
radio host and hedge fund manager, George Jarkesy,
following an SEC fraud investigation.

An in-house evidentiary hearing fined Jarkesy $300,000,
ordered him to pay back almost $700,000 in ill-gotten
profits and barred him from the securities industry.
Jarkesy argued that he was entitled to a jury trial
held in a federal court and that Congress lacked
the power to delegate such authority to the SEC.
NPR reports that Jarkesy's case was supported
by a number of conservative and business groups, and individuals such as Elon Musk.

Senator JD Vance, nominated as Donald Trump's vice-presidential running mate, opposes continued US funding for Ukraine, advocating for peace negotiations instead. Vance's criticisms of the Biden administration's handling of the Ukraine war and his belief that the conflict benefits American business have fueled tensions with Ukrainian President Zelensky. With Trump promising to end the war swiftly, their potential election victory could significantly alter US-Ukraine relations.

Ukraineās top commander, Aleksandr Syrsky, is reportedly ready to lay down arms and capitulate to Russia, according to a claim made by a lawmaker from President Vladimir Zelenskyās party. The claim was made by MP Mariana Bezuglaya from the āServant of the Peopleā party, who is also the deputy chair of the National Security, Defense, and Intelligence Committee.
Syrsky, who became Ukraineās highest-ranking general in early February, succeeded Valery Zaluzhny, the former general who oversaw last yearās unsuccessful attempts to repel Russian forces. Bezuglaya accused Syrsky and Zaluzhny of secretly colluding to prevent a Ukrainian victory, stating that the two generals belong to a āgeneralsā mafiaā that is more interested in protecting their own privileges than in defeating Russia.

Hertz Sells Teslas for $25,000 , Amid EV Slump.
Hertz Global Holdings has been trying
to unload Teslas since January.
The move comes after Hertz
revealed plans to buy hundreds of
thousands of electric vehicles (EVs) in 2021.
Our EVs can be found nationwide
in most major metros and
averaging around $25,000, Hertz spokesperson, via email to CNBC.

waning pace of growth.

automakers are currently more concerned about selling hybrids, CNBC reports. .
So if you've been eyeing a Tesla for a
while but waiting for a more manageable price, Hertz' sale may be your answer.
Hertz-certified vehicles undergo
a 115-point inspection and come with
a 12-month/12,000 mile warranty.
Some used EVs are also eligible for tax credits.
Used car expert Yossi Levi offered tips
for purchasing used electric vehicles.
The best bang for the buck
for consumers in the market today,
bar none, is the used electric vehicle.
And the best-value purchase
is likely a three-year-old EV, Yossi Levi, Car Dealership Guy, via CNBC
