Tesla's sales in key European markets fell again in March, data showed on Tuesday, adding to signs that drivers are shunning Elon Musk's electric car brand as competition from China stiffens and some protest against his political views.

Most countries around the world are based on ethnicity/national identity. Yet they all don't manage to turn into Nazis. It's not the state type its the choice made by its people.

It's peanuts and embarrassing for the world's richest nation.

The Myanmar Military Council has prohibited foreign journalists from reporting on the recent earthquake, citing security concerns.

Maj. Gen. Zaw Min Tun, the junta’s spokesperson, announced the decision on 30 March, stating that foreign media had requested permission to enter the country, but the government could not accommodate them.

Stage a false-flag operation. Declare martial law and suspend constitution. His loyal appointed chief of staff and republican controlled congress falls in line. Trump-appointed supreme court acquiesces. President till he dies on the throne.

In addition to running resistance forces called PDF, the National Unity Government (NUG) provides crucial government administrative services in the territories it controls, operating hundreds of clinics and schools staffed by civil servants and medical professionals who participated in the civil disobedience movement in the aftermath of the coup.

I see why Keir isn't treating this as a big threat. UK isn't as impacted directly by Trump's tariffs. Brits have always been subservient to the Americans.

This is Elon utilizing political power to destroy Tesla's competition. Markets tell the story this morning: Tesla stock is up, while other auto makers' stocks are down.
