Donald Trump's Dig At Elon Musk Over Subsidies Sends Tesla Stock Into A Tailspin
Last Updated: Trump-Musk Feud: Tesla shares dropped sharply after Donald Trump criticized Elon Musk's reliance on government subsidies. Tesla shares took a sharp hit after US President Donald Trump reignited his feud with Elon Musk- targeting the billionaire's reliance on government support. In a fiery post on Truth Social, Donald Trump accused Elon Musk of being the biggest beneficiary of federal subsidies and suggested that his companies wouldn't survive without taxpayer backing. 'Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far," Donald Trump wrote, adding, 'Without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa… BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!" Investor Whiplash Amid A Chaotic Year For Tesla Tesla has endured a volatile 2025 as the company has faced shrinking sales, an aging product lineup and repeated delays on long-promised technology rollouts. Elon Musk's time in Washington as head of the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) further rattled shareholders, many of whom feared his attention had drifted from the business. In May, after Elon Musk stepped down from the DOGE post, Tesla shares briefly soared- jumping 20% in three days. But investor confidence has seesawed ever since, with each twist in the Elon Musk- Donald Trump relationship pushing the stock higher or lower. First Published: July 01, 2025, 19:45 IST

'We're going to teach them how to run away from an alligator': Trump on new immigration detention centre in Florida
OCHOPEE: President Donald Trump will turn a new immigration detention center in a remote area of the Florida Everglades into a symbol of his border crackdown when he visits on Tuesday. The facility, assembled on a remote airstrip with tents and trailers that are normally used after a natural disaster, has been given the nickname "Alligator Alcatraz," a moniker that has alarmed immigrant activists but appeals to the Republican president's aggressive approach to deportations. "This is not a nice business," Trump said while leaving the White House in the morning. Then he joked that "we're going to teach them how to run away from an alligator if they escape prison." "Don't run in a straight line. Run like this," he said, as he moved his hand in a zigzag motion. "And you know what? Your chances go up about 1%." That doesn't seem to be sound advice, though. It's best to dash in one direction in the rare situation when an alligator gives chase, according to a website run by the University of Florida. Ahead of Trump's arrival, local authorities were positioned by the entrance of the airstrip. Media vans and other vehicles were parked along the highway lined by cypress trees. Protestors have often gathered near the facility, which is about 50 miles (80.47 kilometers) west of Miami and could house 5,000 detainees. They've criticized the potential impact on a delicate ecosystem and say Trump is trying to send a cruel message to immigrants — while some Native American leaders have also opposed construction, saying the land is sacred.

India's agriculture & dairy ‘big red lines' for US in trade talks, says FM Nirmala Sitharaman
'Agriculture and dairy have been among very big red lines, where a high degree of caution has been exercised,' Sitharaman told the newspaper. India and the U.S. are negotiating a trade deal ahead of President Donald Trump's July 9 deadline to impose reciprocal tariffs. New Delhi : India's agriculture and dairy are 'big red lines' in its ongoing trade negotiations with the United States, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman told the Financial Express newspaper in an interview published on Monday. 'Yes, I'd love to have an agreement, a big, good, beautiful one; why not?' Sitharaman said, adding that an early conclusion of the trade deal would serve India better. In the trade talks, the U.S. is pushing for greater access to agricultural goods and ethanol, citing a significant trade imbalance, along with expanded market access for dairy, alcoholic beverages, automobiles, pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Meanwhile, India's auto, pharmaceutical, and small-scale firms are lobbying for a gradual opening of the protected sectors, fearing competition from U.S. firms. Discussions on the trade deal will address concerns of the automobile and other industries with 'deep consultations,' said Sitharaman.
