Tesla's actions had been in tears since Donald J. Trump won the presidential elections. Investors were betting that the car manufacturer would benefit from over $ 250 million that its CEO, Elon Musk, spent to support the Trump campaign.But a drop of 8 % of Tesla's actions Tuesday almost swept away what remained of that event. The investors who once thought that Mr. Trump could help eliminate the regulatory obstacles for Tesla's autonomous driving technology have worried that Mr. Musk is spending too much time in Washington while Tesla's sales precipitate.They also worry that the immersion of Mr. Musk in the right politics, including his approval of a far -right party in Sunday's German elections, is alienated a significant number of buyers. In the United States, some Republicans have also ...

The modification could generate $ 560 bi...

"No, in fact, to be honest, we paid," Macron said. As in the case of the United States, he said, there was a mix of subsidies, loans and loan guarantees. "We provided real money, to be clear," he said.Mr. Trump, smiling, made a skeptical face and nodded as if to say he didn't buy him.Mr. Trump, who was unable to brandish the end of the war in 24 hours or before his inauguration, as he promised to do on the countryside track, said that the talks he had started with Mr. Putin could end the war "In a few weeks, if we are intelligent." He added: "If we are not intelligent, it will continue and we will lose young people and beautiful people".The president underlined his request that Ukraine signed hundreds of billions of dollars in mineral rights to reimburse US military aid, to which Zelensky ...

Two years after Apple has introduced a encrypted storage function for iPhone users, the company is pulling those security protections in Great Britain rather than satisfying a request for the government that creates a tool to provide the organizations of the law that access to access to cloud data of customers.Starting from Friday, iPhone users in Great Britain will begin to see a message on their phones saying that Apple can no longer offer its advanced data protection functionality.

Mr. Musk's allies in the government suggested using artificial intelligence to identify budget cuts and workers of different agencies worried that their answers would be evaluated by the AIThe approach echoed to a Mr. Musk adopted with managers and employees on Twitter. In April 2022, Mr. Musk joined the Board of Directors of the Social Media Company, but at the time he quarreled with Parag Agrawal, his CEO, for his public criticisms of the Company. When Mr. Agrawal asked Mr. Musk not to publish harmful things on Twitter, Mr. ...

Israel and Hamas on Sunday accused each other that they had violated the cessation of Gaza's fire already fragile after Israel delayed the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners who should have been exchanged for hostages.The office of the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said that the prisoners would have been freed until the release of further hostages "was insured", and Hamas has undertaken to let them go without "humiliation ceremonies".Growing tensions come after a week of mutual recriminations and tense nerves on both sides. The delay has raised more questions about the future of the ceasefire for Gaza, with a temporary six -week respite that will expire on March 1st.There is still no clarity on a possible extension or even if serious negotiations have started. Some ...

The Germans voted for a change of leadership on Sunday, delivering the greatest number of votes in a parliamentary election to the conservative centrists, with the far right in second place, and reproaching the left government of the nation for its management of the economy and immigration.The first returns and output surveys almost certainly mean that Friedrich Merz, leader of Christian Democrats, will be the next chancellor in the country. But he will need at least one or - in the possibility that the Germans hoped to avoid - two coalition partners to govern."We won it," said Merz to the supporters of Berlin on Sunday evening, promising to quickly form a parliamentary majority to govern the country and restore a strong German leadership in Europe.The elections, which took place seven mon...

It was 45 seconds too late, but the teacher had a plan.A gunman had just barraged her classroom with an AR-15, killing two students and injuring four others before turning to a classroom across the hall. The bullet-riddled walls were crumbling. Ceiling tiles were falling. If the shooter came back to kill more of her students, the teacher decided, she would stand up and shout, “We love you.”The teacher was Ivy Schamis, whose husband would be waiting at home with a Valentine’s Day dinner; whose son was planning a wedding she couldn’t imagine missing; whose curriculum for this class — History of the Holocaust — had just moments earlier stirred a discussion about hate on campuses.We love you. These would surely be her final words, Ms. Schamis thought. She knew her plan was futile — irrational,...
