e doesn't want to wake you up. So, shh, don't say anything. We're all in this together, guys. Well, the Wall Street Journal was doing a hit piece on Tesla and Musk. I no longer see the news as purely the news. It all has this overt and obvious political element to it depending on the story. But anything about Tesla and Elon Musk that comes out around now is definitely going to have a political be…

But apparently if you're the Wall Street Journal, you can just sort of declare that you know what he's thinking and how he feels and what his inner thoughts are.
Anyway, there but it is true that their sales were down but we're talking about the period where politics were affecting everybody's buying decision. So if you just project forward a couple of years, do you think people will still not be buying a Tesla because they don't like what Trump did or what Musk did with DOGE? I don't know if this is some kind of a lifetime problem. Feels to me that if he keeps making cars that are unambiguously better than the other cars, that's going to have an effect on the market over time. So we'll see.
But also the value of Tesla does have a lot built into it about the optimism about robots and robo taxis. So it might be true that the Tesla ordinary car part of the company is now where all the value will be in just a few short years. That's what the market thinks, that the value is in the future stuff. And it's probably true because I do agree with Elon Musk who says that the humanoid robot market will be maybe the biggest market of any market of all time and Tesla might be leading that.
Well, Sean Diddy Combs has some good luck and some bad luck. Good news, bad news. Good news for Diddy is that he was acquitted on the most serious charges in the multi-charge case. The most serious ones would have given him potentially life in prison, but the jury found not guilty by unanimous decision. But he's still in jail and he's not getting bail because he was found guilty on two lesser charges which, as I listen to the people who know what they're talking about (which does not include me for any of the legal stuff), the people who know what they're talking about say that generally the crimes he's been convicted of now, they don't even prosecute that generally because it's so small that if this were someone else and the only thing he'd been a

lleged to have done are the things he was found guilty of, probably they wouldn't even take it to court. I think it was basically technically prostitution with women who clearly were, according to their own text messages, women who were consensually involved. That's it. Now, I don't obviously I'm the worst one to talk about the legal stuff, but what I think is true is that he was accused of a tec…
