The 1600: Mutually Assured Destruction
The Insider's Track Good morning, 🎶 Friday Listening: Taylor Swift - All Too Well (10 Minute Version). One of the greatest breakup songs ever written. Speaking of... That escalated quickly, huh? I'd say our discussion yesterday about the cracks in the Musk-Trump relationship ended up being pretty prescient, despite those accusing me of trafficking in gossip and innuendo! Elon finally went full mask off just a couple hours after this newsletter hit your inbox, ripping into Trump directly over the course of about 40 posts on X. The trigger seems to have been Trump telling reporters he was "disappointed" in Musk's trashing of his marquee legislation. Musk started his tirade arguing that Trump would have lost the election if not for him (maybe), predicted the tariffs would cause a recession (more likely) and, as the coup de grace, accused the president of the United States of being in the Jeffrey Epstein files (which don't exist, at least not in the form that's been alleged). Remember that Cybertruck that exploded outside the Trump hotel in Vegas on New Year's Day? It was an omen. Trump responded that Elon had "gone CRAZY" and threatened to pull his companies' government subsidies and contracts. All in all, at least so far, the POTUS has actually been the cooler head to prevail in this breakup. Whether that can last, we'll probably see today. I've heard some theories that this was all staged as a way for Trump to wash his hands of Musk and Musk to get back to his business of selling electric cars to Democrats. I don't buy it. Elon is dead to the libs, that ship has sailed. And from everything I've heard out of DC, Trump was legitimately taken aback by his former "first buddy" going scorched earth. I think what's more likely is what we've been saying right here for months. You just cannot have two alpha males in the same place at the same time. It never works. And Musk had grown way too big for his britches during his brief tangle with the federal government. I do think there's probably some kind of Mutually Assured Destruction doctrine at play that is going to lead to a detente, or rapprochement, out of necessity for both parties, maybe even as soon as today. These guys both still need each other. Musk needs Trump not to mess with Tesla or SpaceX. Tesla is where Musk's wealth is derived. The DOJ could easily cut its already struggling stock price in half with a well-timed investigation. SpaceX is where Musk sees his legacy. And given SpaceX is deeply entangled with the federal government, Trump could easily make Elon's life miserable by just dropping it as a federal contractor, or as Steve Bannon is calling for, actually seizing it. That would also be bad for America because SpaceX is one of our most innovative companies that is, literally single handedly, keeping our space program alive. Let's hope it doesn't get caught up in the crossfire. But Musk also has something that is extremely valuable to both Trump and the MAGA project, and that is the X algorithm. Elon has made the platform formerly known as Twitter into an echo chamber for Trump-adjacent voices. If he did get Trump elected, it wasn't because of the $250M he dropped in Pennsylvania—it was because of the influence of X. One tweak of that algo to make it less Trump friendly, like it was a few years ago, and that would be a big hit to the White House's reach. One certainty about when Donald Trump is president, it's never boring! The Rundown President Donald Trump is working to push his "big, beautiful bill" through the Senate in the face of resistance from some Senate Republicans and increasing criticism from Elon Musk. Some lawmakers have already raised serious concerns about the bill—more in the Senate than in the House, where the bill passed by just one vote—which has put its passage in doubt. Read more.

U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs issued a two-page temporary restraining order instructing the DHS and the State Department to disregard a proclamation issued by the Trump administration the previous day banning international students at the university from entering the U.S. for six months.

However, hopes among Iranian fans in particular to attend and support their national team on U.S. soil are now in doubt following Trump's announcement of a new travel ban targeting 12 countries, including Iran.

My father-in-law retired at 55 and is now 86. His successful early retirement taught me 4 lessons I plan to follow.
My father-in-law attributes his successful early retirement to a few factors, like home ownership and a healthy marriage. My father-in-law attributes his successful early retirement to a few factors, like home ownership and a healthy marriage. Melissa Noble lighning bolt icon An icon in the shape of a lightning bolt. lighning bolt icon An icon in the shape of a lightning bolt. Impact Link This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. Become an Insider and start reading now. My father-in-law, Frank Noble, retired at the age of 55 after a successful career in forestry in Australia. At 86, he's now been retired for roughly the same amount of time as he worked. He said that if given his time again, he'd still follow the same path and choose to retire early. After chatting with him about his decision, I learned key lessons I plan to follow now that I'm 40 and working to plan my retirement. Related video Own your home outright and have several private investments before retiring One key thing that made Frank's early retirement much easier was that he owned his home outright before he retired. He sold his family home in Tyers and bought his current place — a more affordable one in Bright — in cash so he didn't need to take on a mortgage. My husband and I would like to be in the same mortgage-free position by the time we retire. We currently have two investment properties that we're paying off, and we may sell one or both in the long run in order to pay for our future "forever" home in cash. Frank also attributed his successful retirement to having private investments on top of his pension. We've also started investing in shares and reinvesting the dividends in order to build long-term wealth. Stay active My father-in-law grows his own vegetables. Courtesy Frank Noble My father-in-law is extremely fit, and people often remark that it's hard to believe he's approaching 90. At 86, he still goes to the gym three days a week, spends hours in his garden each day, and chops all of his own wood for the winter months. All in all, he just stays moving. I was reminded of Frank recently while reading a great book called "Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life." In it, the authors talk about how water moves and is at its best when it flows and doesn't stagnate, and how the human body is the same. That analogy resonated with me and reminds me of Frank: As you age, it's important to keep moving each day in order to keep your body running for a long time. I plan to follow his lead and focus on working out and staying active as I age — if I can stay in good health, retiring early will be far more enjoyable. Related stories Business Insider tells the innovative stories you want to know Business Insider tells the innovative stories you want to know Have hobbies that inspire you My father-in-law found joy in gardening, going to the gym, and playing golf when he retired. He's also travelled with my mother-in-law throughout Australia and overseas. Frank said all of these hobbies and passion pursuits have given him a much-needed sense of adventure and purpose in retirement. It's inspiring that he follows his passions and I feel lucky that one of mine, writing, is also what I do for a living. When I retire, I plan to continue spending most of my time writing — hopefully even a few novels. I also enjoy travel, so I plan for that to be a big part of our retirement (money permitting). Nurture your relationship with your spouse My kids are so important, but so is my relationship with my husband. Melissa Noble Frank told me it's crucial to have a solid relationship with your partner if you plan to retire early, as you'll spend a lot of time with them. He and my mother-in-law have been married for almost 60 years and still spend almost all day every day together. I love my husband dearly and he's my best friend, but I'm guilty of focusing a lot of my time and energy on our three young children. My husband tends to be at the bottom of the pyramid in our household. After chatting to Frank, I know I want to make some changes with our relationship, and to make my husband more of a priority. To start, maybe we'll plan more date nights or take time to map out our retirement goals together. At the end of the day, the kids will move out some day, and it will just be him and I, so we need to keep the magic alive.

Tina Knowles told Meghan Markle she realized she was 'enough' without a partner once she was in her 70s
This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. Become an Insider and start reading now. Tina Knowles is loving her single life. On Tuesday, Beyoncé and Solange's mother appeared in a bonus episode of Meghan Markle's podcast, "Confessions of a Female Founder." The podcast premiered in April and features the Duchess of Sussex, 43, interviewing female founders about their lives and careers. Knowles, 71, joined Meghan to discuss her New York Times bestselling memoir "Matriarch," published on April 22, and her various business ventures, including Beyoncé's hair care brand Cécred. As they chatted about balancing their careers and personal lives, Knowles told Meghan that she has come to love her independent life over the last year. All the single ladies As of 2024, Knowles is single, and she told Meghan she finally feels like she is "enough" on her own. "It took me till 71 to decide that I am truly enough by myself without a partner," Knowles said, reflecting on her marriages. Knowles was married to Mathew Knowles, Beyoncé and Solange's father, from 1980 to 2011. She remarried Richard Lawson in 2015 and filed for divorce in 2023, citing "irreconcilable differences." Their divorce was finalized in 2024. Tina Knowles in March 2025. Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic/Getty Images Knowles said the beginning of her relationship with Lawson "was wonderful," but that changed, leading to their separation. However, the cause of their split made her realize she had changed, as their breakup wasn't the result of something "drastic." "The old me before I came to this revelation, because there was no big, drastic thing that happened, I would have stayed, but not been totally fulfilled," Knowles said. "So I finally know that whether I have a partner or not, I am whole," Knowles added. "I just hate that I had to get to 70 before I realized that. I wish I would have done it way sooner in my life, but I didn't." "Seventy years young," Meghan replied.
