Musk tweeting back this “No, it is not. I have spoken to Putin only once and that was about 18 months ago. The subject matter was space.”

Last week the Tesla CEO suggested that Crimea, which is Ukrainian territory under international law, should be formally recognised as part of Russia.

This follows Musk previously saying Ukraine should remain a neutral country.

The world’s richest man also recently suggested that Taiwan should become a “special administrative zone” of China too.

Wall Street plummets as tech stocks and Bitcoin fall, raising concerns about job market and economic stability.

Wall Street took a sharp hit Thursday as technology stocks and Bitcoin plunged, reigniting worries over the job market and global economic stability. Kyle Rodda from Capital.com breaks down how Alphabet and Qualcomm’s earnings may signal broader tech weakness.

Bitcoin’s recent drop also rattled crypto markets, with Coinbase shares falling sharply. Rodda explains how much of the decline is driven by market fundamentals versus shifting investor sentiment, and how rising AI expenditures are affecting investor confidence in tech.

The surge in unemployment claims, coupled with falling bond yields, is prompting concern over overall market stability.
