Tesla Shares Recover amid Calls to De-escalate Tensions between Trump, Musk
Tesla shares recovered from heavy losses amid signs that the rift between CEO Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump is easing, easing investor concerns about the potential political fallout for the electric car maker.
Tesla shares rose 5% in early trading. Politico reported that Musk and Trump were expected to speak on Friday, but a White House official told Reuters there were no plans for a call.
Musk indicated via his X social media platform that he was open to easing tensions with Trump.
The dispute between Trump and Musk wiped more than $150 billion off Tesla's market value on Thursday, the company's largest single-day drop.
Tensions escalated after Musk escalated his criticism of a tax and spending bill that proposed partially ending a $7,500 tax incentive for electric vehicle buyers by the end of 2025.
In response, Trump proposed cuts to government contracts with Musk's companies, including SpaceX.
Tesla's stock has fallen 29.5% since the beginning of the year, after falling 14% on Thursday.

Egypt, 10 Nations Strongly Condemn Israeli Sovereignty Vote Over Occupied West Bank
H-Tayea Egypt, alongside ten other Arab and Islamic nations and major regional organizations, has issued a strong condemnation of the Israeli Knesset's recent approval of a declaration calling for the imposition of so-called 'Israeli sovereignty' over the occupied West Bank. The statement denounces the move as a blatant violation of international law and a clear breach of multiple UN Security Council resolutions, particularly Resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973), and 2334 (2016), all of which reject any attempts to legitimize occupation or settlement activity on Palestinian land. Joining Egypt in the joint declaration are the Kingdom of Bahrain, Republic of Indonesia, Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Federal Republic of Nigeria, State of Palestine, State of Qatar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Republic of Türkiye, United Arab Emirates, the League of Arab States, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. The statement affirms that Israel holds no sovereignty over any part of the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, which remains legally and historically an inseparable part of Palestine. It stresses that Israel's unilateral declaration has no legal validity and cannot alter the internationally recognized status of these lands. The signatories warn that this latest Israeli action will only intensify regional instability, especially as it comes amid ongoing military aggression in Gaza and a rapidly worsening humanitarian disaster in the Strip. The group urged the international community, including the UN Security Council and all responsible actors, to take urgent action to stop Israel's illegal policies, which aim to impose realities on the ground by force. These efforts, they said, are undermining prospects for peace and threatening to eliminate the possibility of a two-state solution altogether. The statement concluded with a renewed commitment to the two-state solution based on international law and the Arab Peace Initiative, reaffirming the goal of establishing an independent and sovereign Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks

Columbia University to Pay $221 Mln in Federal Settlement
Israa Farhan Columbia University has reached a $221 million settlement with the United States federal government, resolving multiple investigations and restoring access to suspended federal funding, the institution confirmed on Wednesday. The agreement includes a $200 million payment over three years related to investigations into alleged antisemitism on campus, as well as a $21 million settlement with the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The deal follows months of federal scrutiny and marks a turning point for one of America's most prestigious academic institutions. Crucially, Columbia retains full autonomy over core academic affairs, including faculty appointments, admissions policies, and curricular design. Acting President Claire Shipman described the outcome as a vital step toward restoring institutional stability and clarity after a prolonged period of regulatory tension. As part of the agreement, the majority of federal research grants suspended or revoked earlier in the year will be reinstated, providing a significant financial lifeline to the university's research and academic programs. The settlement comes one day after Columbia imposed disciplinary action on dozens of students involved in pro-Palestinian demonstrations in spring 2024 and May 2025. These sanctions include expulsions, suspensions, probations, and revocation of degrees. The university had become a central stage for nationwide protests against the war in Gaza. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks
