Musk

In his first year “in crisis” selling electric cars, Musk puts the eye in optimus with promises and really psychedelic figures and figures

by

Tesla has closed 2024 with A 71% drop in benefits Up to 2.3 billion dollars, while income barely grew 2%. The company has registered its first historical setback in cars deliveries, something that We saw coming. Why is it important. The moment could not be more critical. Tesla is in front of a perfect storm: Growing Chinese competition, With Byd at the head. Global price war. Premium market saturation. End of government aid. Musk’s response has been remarkable: Price cuts that have eroded the margins to alarming levels. Between the lines. Musk seems to be repeating its usual strategy: in the face of disappointing results, it promises technological revolutions that divert attention to the fundamental problems of the business. This time, the bet is double: autonomous taxis and Humanoid robots. Yes, but. Musk’s closeness with Trump has triggered the value of shares more than 100% in the last year, challenging all financial logic. Investors seem to bet more on the political influence of Musk than by the fundamentals of Tesla. The operating margins have collapsed to 6.2%, from 8.2% of the previous year. Cybertruck sales have stagnated in 13,000 quarterly units. AND Every time they sell cheaper. Tesla depends more and more on regulatory credits: 692 million dollars this quarter. Trump has put them in the target. Between bambalins. The advertisement of the autonomous taxi Cybercab for 2026 And the beginning of Robotaxis operations In June of this 2025, he dangerously remembers previous promises unfulfilled. However, Musk insists: “This time the wolf is real. And it can drive alone.” Tesla is at a historical crossroads: either it manages to materialize its technological promises and maintains its position as an innovative leader, or runs the risk of becoming a more cars manufacturer, less and less differential with respect to others, and caught in a price war With diminishing margins. Deepen: The New version of Model and It will reach 60,000 dollars in March, 33% more expensive than the current model. The European records of Tesla fell 24% in October. The company It is under investigation due to fatal accidents related to its autonomous driving system. Tesla’s brand value was reduced by 15,000 million in 2024, partly for Musk’s political rhetoric. The Trump administration promises to eliminate incentives for electric vehicles. Musk says this will harm the competition more than his company, but analysts are not so safe: Tesla is no longer the only relevant actor in the premium electricity market.

Elon Musk says he will rescue the two astronauts stranded in the space at Trump. The problem is that

by

A incendiary message. “The president of the United States has asked Spacex to bring the two astronauts stranded at the International Space Station as soon as possible,” Elon Musk wrote In his profile of X. “It is terrible that the Biden administration has left them there for so long.” After 20 minutes, more than one million people have seen the message, which Musk apostilled answering “true” to the following answer: “The hatred they had was greater than their desire to rescue those astronauts.” A little context. In June 2024, two astronauts arrived at the International Space Station aboard the Starliner spacecraft, Boeing’s alternative to the Crew Dragon of Spacex. The ship had to spend a week in orbit before returning to Earth, but A failure in the propulsion system During the first leg he made three months undergoing And finally I would go empty. Elon Musk’s X messages about astronauts Elon Musk lies. No one will be surprised at this point that Musk publishes propaganda in his X profile, but the message misrepresent the reality in a particularly fantasy way. While it is true that astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are still in space since June, they are not stranded. SPACEX CREW-9 MISSION took off in September 2024long before Trump assumed the presidency, with two empty seats to bring them back. So why do they continue in the ISS? It was the plan provided by NASA. Wilmore and Williams were reallocated to the CREW-9 mission and became part of the permanent crew of the International Space Station. Williams is, in fact, the commander of expedition 72, and He has just taken a space walk As part of your tasks. That NASA did not ask Spacex to look for them immediately has nothing to do with the hatred of Musk, but that there was no crew dragon to immediately available. The most logical solution was to get two astronauts out of the next round trip (the CREW-9 mission) to leave two free seats. And now what? The return of the CREW-9 mission is scheduled for the end of March 2025. So far, the expected thing was that Wilmore and Williams return along with their mission partners, the American Nick Hague and the Russian Aleksandr Gorbunov, in March or maybe in April. But Musk’s message suggests that perhaps his return goes ahead. As for the Starliner, NASA canceled the flight that had hired Boeing By 2025. The two astronaut rotations of this year will be in charge of Spacex while Boeing continues to analyze what could fail in its first manned flight and how it plans to solve it.

After doing the Nazi greeting, Elon Musk has decided to get close to alternative for Germany

by

With the Nazi greeting That Elon Musk dedicated to the Republican voters during the investiture of Donald Trump, the billionaire has returned (better than present) to the candlestick in an alternative rally for Germany at the gates of the German elections. The millionaire intervened through video call In one of the main acts of the electoral campaign of the alternative ultra -right party for Germany (AFD), in which the millionaire said Germany was doing “too much emphasis on past guilt. Germany’s children should not be guilty of the sins of his parents, much less of his grandparents. “ After the American campaign, it plays Europe. The increase in Elon Musk’s fortune After Donald Trump’s victory and its subsequent decreesthey are testimony that Musk’s political and economic interests They walk hand in hand. Once its position is consolidated near power in the United States, the millionaire seeks to increase its influence in Europe, where Musk also has important economic interests to defend. After having The pre -campaign heated Electoral attacking against the political leaders of Europe, the United Kingdom and, of course, Germany, Elon Musk has sneaked into the screen of the German elections with a live intervention in a rally of the German ultra -right. Musk message to the Germans. In his live speech at the AFD act, the Millionaire harangued the attendees with proclamations on “the greatness of the German nation” and his “thousands of years” empire, who raised controversy for the content and tone of their speech , criticizing “a multiculturalism that dilutes everything”, as the German Spiegel said. Musk pointed to the followers of the AFD present that they should “be proud to be Germans”, and then ensure that “it points too much to the fault of the past, that is something that must be left behind”, in clear allusion to responsibility of Nazi Germany in the Holocaust. The Millionaire also did not hesitate the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz of “Ignorant Zoquete” and “Pellee”. Auschwitz’s 80th anniversary reactions. The words pronounced by Elon Musk before the voters of the German ultra -right and, especially their tone, have raised blisters in Poland, where the 80th anniversary of the release of the Auschwitz concentration camp is celebrated by the Soviet troops. The reactions of the Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk did not wait and, from Your X profilehe responded to the words of the tycoon. “The words we hear from the protagonists of the AFD’s demonstration about” Great Germany “and the” need to forget German guilt for Nazis crimes “sounded too familiar and sidesested. Above all, a few hours after the anniversary of Auschwitz’s liberation, “wrote the Polish prime minister. His German counterpart He replied“I can’t agree more, dear Donald.” AFD’s proposal. The electoral proposal of the ultra -right party is practically a tracing of what Trump proposed in his program, betting on greater antieuropeistic nationalism, deregularization of the labor market, tax decrease for companies and deregularization of the energy market, as well as an related immigration policy to which Donald Trump is already applying. It is not the first time that Elon Musk’s interventions in German politics lift Polvareda. A few weeks ago, the owner of X granted an interview Alice Weidel, party leader, in which the German representative said with conviction that Adolf Hitler was a communist and the third Reich, socialist. Weidel put himself in charge of German training after the resignation of his European candidate Maximiliam Krah, after statements in which he banalized the holocaust. Krah said that “I will never say that everyone who had a uniform of the SS was automatically a criminal.” These statements led to other European ultra -right parties, such as national regrouping of Marine Le Pen or Italian League of Mateo Salvini, They broke their relationships With AFD. Elon Musk’s interests. Elon Musk’s interests in which AFD wins the elections in Germany have a name: Tesla. The gigafactoría that the car manufacturer has close to Berlin faced many doubts about its environmental impact before achieving the necessary permits to initiate their construction works.

In addition, the strict Labor laws in Germany and its environmental restrictions Nor are they contributing to the interests of expansion of the German plant. Elon Musk would not be denied that, with the arrival of the AFD ultra -right party to power in Germany, Tesla Viera as reduced by his tax bill in Germany, such as the one that has provided the arrival of Donald Trump Trump To the great American technology.

Justine Musk revealed one of the best productivity secrets that Elon Musk shares with Warren Buffet: saying no

by

Justine Musk is the first wife and mother of six of 11 children children of Elon Musk. He shared a life with Musk even before he became a millionaire after the sale of Zip2. This perspective of Elon Musk, before and after being a millionaire, has allowed the now writer and lecturer to discover one of the secrets of the success of the richest person in the world: say no. During a TEDx talk in 2014Justine Musk highlighted Elon Musk’s ambition and ability to focus, but also a talent that not everyone possesses, such as saying no. Saying no is saying yes As Justine Musk explained, a good part of her ex-husband’s success lay in saying no to many things that they were going to consume your timeto say yes to others that were going to lead him to success. “He said no to people who wanted his time, attention and energy. He said no in a way that protected his resources so he could channel them toward his own goals. And I understood that behind every no there is a deeper ‘yes’ to what what you want,” Justine said in her talk. “Your deep yes is your right to dream,” the writer concluded. The author of six books pointed out that this ability to saying no is a talent which is acquired at a young age and their children also began to develop it. As Justine Musk said in her TED talk, her children were already exercising their power by refusing to do certain things, thus reaffirming their individuality and the talent of wanting to be masters of their own schedule. However, Justine herself recognized that she herself had lost that ability to say no to others between the ages of eight and thirteen. The writer highlighted that this ability to know how to say no to other people not only denotes power to confront negative reactions of whoever requests to occupy your time, also reveals precision in the management of one’s own time and intention. Warren Buffett has his calendar full of noes Elon Musk is not the only one who values ​​his time above anything else and therefore preserves it from any interference. Warren Buffett is also very careful with the use of his time and has the ability to keep his calendar with large spaces available. This was revealed by his good friend Bill Gates during a intervention on the Charlie Ross show in which both millionaires talked about the topic. Bill Gates pointed out how careful Warren Buffett is with his time. “The fact that he’s so careful with time, he has days where there’s nothing on (his schedule)…sitting and thinking can be a priority much older. “It is not an indicator of your seriousness that you have occupied every minute of your schedule.” Greg McKeown, in his book ‘Essentialism‘, highlights a curious paradox about productivity, stating that true productivity is not about doing more, but about doing less. Saying no to other people prevents you from loading your to-do list with tasks unrelated to your goals, so they should be eliminated at all costs. At first, saying no may take an internal effort, but in the long run, that turns into more time to dedicate to what really interests you.

Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos are candidates

2024 was a year especially good for big fortunes in which, except some exceptionsall increased their assets. This growth trend has changed the forecasts regarding the idea that, in the next ten years, one of these billionaires will become a billionaire, accumulating wealth in excess of a trillion dollars. According to a report that Oxfam Intemón has presented during the Davos Summit 2025the accumulation of wealth has become so extreme that the forecast now is that up to five billionaires will exceed that trillion-dollar ceiling in the next ten years. Fortunes accelerate. According to Oxfam Intermón, previous forecasts that a person could reach a fortune exceeding one trillion dollars (European trillion, not American), have become obsolete following the rapid growth rate recorded by large fortunes during 2024. The humanitarian organization highlights that, during the fiscal year 2024, large fortunes tripled the rate of increase in your assets with respect to 2023. According to data from Oxfam Intermón“in 2024, the number of billionaires was already 2,769, compared to 2,565 the previous year, and their combined wealth increased from 13 to 15 trillion dollars in just 12 months. This is the second largest increase in the combined wealth of billionaires in a single year, since records have been kept”. The year of AI and the space race. This accelerated growth of the largest fortunes is mainly due to two important factors: the rise in the development of AI and the beginning of private space race. In the heat of the development of AI, the fortunes of some of its protagonists have increased, such as meteoric rise of Jensen Huang to the top of the millionaire lists, of Larry Ellison or of Mark Zuckerberg. The space race has two proper names: Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. Both millionaires have placed their aerospace companies among the best valued, and the contracts with NASA They have provided them with a good financial cushion. The case of Bezos and Musk is especially notable because both millionaires “play both sides” because their companies They are also at the forefront of AI development. Trump’s victory has influenced. The Oxfam Intermón report noted that “this growing concentration of wealth is possible thanks to a monopolistic concentration of power, in which billionaires exercise more and more influence over industries and public opinion.” The victory of Donald Trump and the closing of the ranks of big technology companies supporting the new president has been another important factor in the increase in the forecast that up to five billionaires will exceed one trillion dollars in the next decade. The now president of the United States has demonstrated it in his first decreeslegislating for prioritize interests of these companies around the world and, therefore, boosting the fortunes of their founders and CEOs. Elon Musk was already a candidate. With a fortune of $432.6 billion, Elon Musk is currently the richest person in the world, according to the list of millionaires of Forbes. As such, he already appeared in all the pools as a candidate to be one of the first billionaires in history. The businessman of South African origin beat a double record at the end of 2024: he managed to surpass the threshold of $400 billion and did so by almost doubling his fortune in just two months. Added to these estimates is the foreseeable growth in the assets of Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Larry Ellison or Jensen Huang, before a deregulated scene in which the large corporations on which their fortunes are based will have fewer legal restrictions on expanding.

An executive order paves the way for Elon Musk to fire them from DOGE

by

As soon as Trump was sworn in under the watchful eye of his new Praetorian Guard made up of the greatest fortunes in the worldgot to work signing the first decrees. One of the priority decrees was the official creation of DOGEhe Efficiency Department Government that will be directed by Elon Musk. The second, change the status of federal workers so that Musk can fire them at his discretion. Fire career officials. One of the most controversial points of the executive order that Donald Trump signed after his appointment is the change in status for career officials, in charge of enforcing regulations regardless of who occupies the Oval Office. To guarantee this independence, these officials had additional protection contemplated in Annex F (Schedule F). One of Trump’s executive orders mandates change this protected statusso they can now be fired if they do not comply with the orders of their superiors. This was one of the requirements of Project 2025 which has been developed by the most radical wing of the Republican Party, and which Trump has denied throughout the campaign, until just after his appointment. Only loyal officials. In another section of this executive order it is established that “Because SES officials exercise significant government authority, they must act at the will of the president”, placing special emphasis on that presidential figure, for which it has modified different sections of Annex F “Failure to do so will be grounds for dismissal,” the order states. Scott Michelman, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of the District of Columbia, assured from a statement issued by the organization that “The executive order on the federal workforce is a power grab by Trump, expanding his authority to fire employees he perceives as insufficiently loyal.” Michelman claims that, “during the last Trump administration, he encountered federal workers who were following the law, rather than indiscriminately following his orders. Federal workers should not be fired because they are more loyal to the US Constitution than to the president. That is a threat to both our constitutional values ​​and the rule of law.” “The real goal of the order is to target workers based on their real or perceived disloyalty toward the president and his political goals,” Scott Michelman concludes. The excuse of efficiency. Another of the controversial points that complement this executive order is that all officials and the 2.3 million federal civilian employees must be evaluated for the efficiency of their work and, if it is not satisfactory, they could be fired. However, that same order prohibits “certain personnel actions” and “actions based on the employee’s partisan affiliation, other protected characteristics or due to the employee’s status as a whistleblower.” Everett Kelley, national president of the American Federation of Government Employees, declared to the cnn: “President Trump’s order is a blatant attempt to corrupt the federal government by removing employees’ due process rights so they can be fired for political reasons. It will eliminate hundreds of thousands of federal nonpartisan professional civil service jobs and make them responsible before the will of a man”. Closing of hiring and teleworking. Given the massive filtering that the entire US federal administration is going to face, the executive order signed by Trump hours after his appointment, indefinitely canceled any contracting process of the administration. Furthermore, the order signed by Trump urges all federal employees without exception to go to their offices, all being revoked teleworking agreements. The only exception would be that, as how it happened In some Amazon offices, the facilities did not have enough capacity to accommodate them all. In that case, it is anticipated that “provided department and agency heads make such exemptions as they deem necessary,” so they could send some officials back home. According to data provided by nearby sources to the new government, its calculations show that only 6% of public employees work from the offices of their agencies. However, a report prepared by the US Congress reveals that the figure is much higher, exceeding 54%, and only 10% of civil servants do it completely remotely.
