Big Star Tipsy Taco Bar taking over former Betty Danger's spot
Big Star Tipsy Taco Bar is set to open this spring at the former Betty Danger's space in northeast Minneapolis.
The Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal reports the new restaurant will offer a Tex-Mex-style menu with Austin, Texas-inspired barbecue flavors.
The property at 2501 Marshall Street, which features an 8,400-square-foot main building, a custom-built Ferris Wheel imported from Europe and a mini golf course, sold for $3.5 million in November.
The Ferris Wheel and mini golf course will be incorporated into the new business, and a dog patio and other updates are planned.
Betty Danger's, which underwent several thematic re-brands during its run, shut down in 2022.
Big Star Tipsy Taco Bar's website has limited details, but states a spring opening is planned.

Analysts Look to Tesla's Robotaxi Launch After Stock Hit From Musk-Trump Spat
Tesla is expected to launch its autonomous ride hailing service later this month, perhaps as soon as this week. The company has yet to confirm or deny a report from Bloomberg that it is targeting a June 12 launch for the robotaxi. The EV maker's stock could use a lift after a week marked by a spat between CEO Elon Musk and President (TSLA) is expected to launch its robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, as soon as this week, with the electric vehicle maker's stock in need of a lift after a week marked by political strife between CEO Elon Musk and President Trump. The stock rebounded nearly 4% to close just above $295 Friday, after tumbling 14% on Thursday. They've lost roughly one-quarter of their value since the start of the year. Tesla bulls believe a robotaxi program could drive substantial upside in the company's stock. Bloomberg last month reported that Tesla was targeting a June 12 launch, citing a person familiar with the matter, adding that the date could change. The company has not confirmed that date, and Tesla did not respond to Investopedia's request for comment in time for publication. Musk said in last month's earnings call and a May 20 interview with CNBC that the company was still on track to launch the program by the end of the month. The start of the program, Musk told CNBC, will likely be about 10 Model Y vehicles operating autonomously, with the company later expanding to more vehicles and cities. Tesla owners will eventually be able to add their vehicle to the available fleet of Teslas to rent for a ride, Musk has said, which could help Tesla scale the project before the Cybercab goes into production next year. Oppenheimer analysts recently wrote that the company's ability to get its software to drive fully autonomously with its current suite of cameras could be "key to its technology leadership and stock performance," but added they believe it might take at least one or two more hardware and software updates before Tesla can deliver reliable autonomous performance. More bullish analysts, like Wedbush's Dan Ives, have said they think successful autonomous driving software will be the start of technology that will eventually add $1 trillion in value to the company. Overall, analysts are somewhat divided on Tesla's stock, with 10 of the brokers tracked by Visible Alpha giving the stock a "buy" rating, with four "hold" and four "sell" ratings. Their average price target is about $304, slightly above Friday's closing level, but their price targets range from as low as $120 to as high as $500. Read the original article on Investopedia

Donald Trump and Elon Musk urged by Republicans to end feud
Republicans fearful about potential consequences of a prolonged feud between US President Donald Trump and Elon Musk are urging the pair to call a truce. At a minimum, the explosion of animosity between the two powerful men could complicate the path forward for Republicans' massive tax and border spending legislation that has been promoted by Mr Trump but criticised by Mr Musk. 'I hope it doesn't distract us from getting the job done that we need to,' said representative Dan Newhouse, a Republican from Washington state. 'I think that it will boil over and they'll mend fences.' As of Friday afternoon, Mr Musk was holding his fire, posting about his various companies on social media rather than attacking the president. Mr Trump departed the White House for his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, without stopping to talk to reporters who shouted questions about his battle with Mr Musk. 'I hope that both of them come back together because when the two of them are working together, we'll get a lot more done for America than when they're at cross purposes,' senator Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican, told Fox News host Sean Hannity. Senator Mike Lee, a Republican from Utah, sounded almost pained on social media as Mr Trump and Mr Musk volleyed insults at each other, sharing a photo composite of the two men and writing, 'But … I really like both of them.' 'Who else really wants @elonmusk and @realDonaldTrump to reconcile?' Mr Lee posted, later adding: 'Repost if you agree that the world is a better place with the Trump-Musk bromance fully intact.' So far, the feud between Mr Trump and Mr Musk is probably best described as a moving target, with plenty of opportunities for escalation or detente. Repost if you agree that the world is a better place with the Trump-Musk bromance fully intact@elonmusk @realDonaldTrump — Mike Lee (@BasedMikeLee) June 6, 2025 One person familiar with the president's thinking said Mr Musk wants to speak with Mr Trump, but that the president does not want to do it – or at least do it on Friday. In a series of conversations with television news presenters on Friday morning, Mr Trump showed no interest in burying the hatchet. Asked on ABC News about reports of a potential call between him and Mr Musk, the president responded: 'You mean the man who has lost his mind?' Mr Trump added in the ABC interview that he was 'not particularly' interested in talking to Mr Musk at the moment. Still, others remained hopeful that it all would blow over. 'I grew up playing hockey and there wasn't a single day that we played hockey or basketball or football or baseball, whatever we were playing, where we didn't fight. And then we'd fight, then we'd become friends again,' Mr Hannity said on his show on Thursday night. Acknowledging that it 'got personal very quick,' Mr Hannity nonetheless added that the rift was 'just a major policy difference'. House of Representatives speaker Mike Johnson projected confidence that the dispute would not affect prospects for the tax and border bill. 'Members are not shaken at all,' the Republican said. 'We're going to pass this legislation on our deadline.' He added that he hopes Mr Musk and Mr Trump reconcile, saying 'I believe in redemption' and 'it's good for the party and the country if all that's worked out.' But he also had something of a warning for the billionaire entrepreneur. 'I'll tell you what, do not doubt and do not second-guess and don't ever challenge the president of the United States, Donald Trump,' Mr Johnson said. 'He is the leader of the party. He's the most consequential political figure of this generation and probably the modern era.'
