The “One Big Beautiful Bill” is about to reshape the electric truck industry forever. With Tesla Semi production finally starting in late 2025, the timing couldn’t be worse – federal tax credits of up to $40,000 for commercial EVs could disappear by December 2025.
In this deep-dive analysis, we explore:

WASHINGTON, June 9 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump said on Monday he has no plans to discontinue Starlink at the White House but might move his Tesla off-site, following his announcement over the weekend that his relationship with Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of both companies, was over.
“I may move the Tesla around a little bit, but I don’t think we’ll be doing that with Starlink. It’s a good service,” Trump told reporters, referring to the satellite internet company that provides high-speed broadband access. It is a unit of Musk’s SpaceX. -

In this video, I discuss how Mayor Khalid Kamau the so called first BLM Mayor has not only ruined the city of Fulton but his own personal finances & is now facing eviction due to his own choices but is blaming society rather than taking accountability.
The City of South Fulton Mayor Khalid Kamau has apologized to those he serves after being arrested on felony burglary and trespassing charges. FOX 5 Atlanta was the only news station there when he was handcuffed and placed into the back of a patrol car.

The Federal Reserve has quietly pulled back on its quantitative tightening policy. While this may sound like an obscure financial adjustment, for those paying attention, it’s a sign of something far more serious. This shift is a clear indication that the foundation of our financial system is under unprecedented strain. The question isn’t when to get out of the current system—it’s why wait?
