Hey Elon, time to check the dashboard!
Elon Musk just finished a short job helping Donald Trump with a big money plan for the US government. He was only allowed to stay for 130 days, and he left with just one day to spare — pretty much like leaving a road trip before your battery runs out! He didn't really finish the job (he only got 8% of it done), but hey, that's still better than his last few rockets blowing up!
Now that he's done, Elon should take a break and look at where things stand. Sure, some people got mad and even set Teslas on fire, and Tesla's stock dropped for a bit. But guess what? Elon is still way richer than he was last year — around $175 billion richer!
Even though he said Trump's big government budget plan was kinda 'meh,' Trump still likes him and called him 'terrific.' That means Elon's other companies, like SpaceX, might still get cool space jobs from the government. So Lil X (that's Elon's son's nickname) could maybe hang out in the White House without a problem!
But Elon still has big stuff to worry about:
Tesla sales are slipping , and a Chinese company called BYD is making faster-charging electric cars.
Starships keep blowing up , and rockets aren't cheap!
Neuralink
, his brain chip company, has new rivals chasing the same dream.
In the end, no one will remember him as 'Trump's money guy.' They'll remember him as Rocket Man — the guy who once tried to buy Russian missiles to launch his own satellites!
So yeah, Elon. Plug in, recharge, and focus — the road ahead is wild!

'Unacceptable': China slams Macron for comparing Taiwan issue to Ukraine war
China condemned French President Emmanuel Macron after he compared the Taiwan issue to that of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war during his address at the Shangri-La Dialogue security conference in Singapore read more China slammed comments made by French President Emmanuel Macron, who compared Beijing's dispute over Taiwan to that of Russia's aggression in Ukraine. The remarks from the French leader came during his speech at the Shangri-La Dialogue security conference in Singapore on Friday night. Macron warned that the unchecked Russian aggression in Ukraine could set a precedent in Asia. 'If Russian President Vladimir Putin could take Ukrainian territory without any restrictions, without any constraints … what could happen in Taiwan? What will you do the day something happens in the Philippines?' Macron said at the event. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Shortly after Macron's remarks, China's embassy in Singapore condemned his comments and denounced it. 'Comparing the Taiwan question with the Ukraine issue is unacceptable,' China's embassy in Singapore said in a Facebook post on Saturday. 'The two are different in nature, and not comparable at all,' the embassy added, accusing Macron of a 'double standard.' Chinese aggression at the centre of Shangri-La Dialogue Interestingly, Macron's remarks against China came a day after U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told the Shangri-La forum on Friday that a threat from China in Asia could be 'imminent.' 'There's no reason to sugarcoat it. The threat China poses is real, and it could be imminent,' Hegseth said. Any Chinese military move on Taiwan 'would result in devastating consequences for the Indo-Pacific and the world,' he added during his address at the summit. Meanwhile, Macron also warned that Europe's credibility was at stake over the perception it had given a 'free pass' to Israel, which has brought Gaza to the brink of famine and led to the death of more than 50,000 civilians since October 2023. 'If we abandon Gaza, if we consider there is a free pass for Israel, even if we do condemn the terrorist attacks, we kill our credibility in the rest of the world,' Macron said.
