In a surprising move, Elon Musk announced his full support for Donald Trump $Trump Media & Technology (DJT.US)$ in the 2024 election. His America PAC will hand out $1 million daily until Election Day to those who sign a petition promoting voter registration, especially in key battleground states like Pennsylvania. 🇺🇸

$Tesla (TSLA.US)$
Musk unveiled the Cybercab and Robovan during the 'We, Robot' event on Oct 10. Discerning users on social media noticed a striking similarity - the futuristic mechanics that colour filmmaker Alex Proyas's 2004 movie 'I, Robot'.
The uncanny resemblance didn't go unnoticed - nor appreciated - by Proyas, who took to Musk's own X platform to slam the executive for ripping off his creations.

Tesla’s highly anticipated Robotaxi Day failed to impress, triggering a 9% drop in share price to $217.80 on Friday. With the stock already down 12% this year and 17% over the past 12 months, investor confidence seems shaken. Expectations were high, but Tesla’s announcements left many questions unanswered.

Just yesterday, I shared to all investors to be cautious about Chinese stocks, and today’s market action proves that concern was justified. Despite a strong opening after the Golden Week break, China's stock markets took a sharp nosedive, with the Hang Seng Index suffering its worst fall since 2008, plunging a staggering 9.4%. ⚠️

Liquidity Injection: A Temporary Fix 💸🛠
The recent rally is mainly driven by the government injecting money into the market. However, liquidity alone can’t fix underlying problems—it won't make a company more competitive or its management any smarter. 🚫 This kind of rise is not sustainable.
