Elon Musk Flips on EV Tax Credit as Tesla Struggles with Sales Slump
UnitedHealthcare Sues The Guardian Over CEO Murder Report, Sparking Media Firestorm
UnitedHealthcare has filed a defamation lawsuit against The Guardian, accusing the outlet of publishing knowingly false claims in an investigation that tied the health insurer to unethical cost-cutting practices, including paying nurses to limit hospital transfers. The report, released after the murder of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, Brian Thompson, allegedly misused documents and testimonies to build a misleading narrative. UnitedHealth claims The Guardian exploited the tragedy for attention, while The Guardian defends its reporting as accurate, well-sourced, and in the public interest. The lawsuit intensifies the clash between corporate power and investigative journalism.
CPI Data Under Pressure: Budget Cuts and Layoffs Raise Accuracy Concerns
Recent layoffs and funding cuts at the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) have led to reduced data collection in key cities and a spike in imputed data—statistical estimates rather than direct observations—raising concerns about the accuracy of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), a vital measure of U.S. inflation. While officials claim the changes will have minimal impact, economists warn that increased reliance on guesswork may undermine the reliability of data used to shape interest rates, Social Security, mortgage rates, and more. Experts stress the need for transparency and funding to maintain trust in the nation’s economic indicators.

Elon Musk Flips on EV Tax Credit as Tesla Struggles with Sales Slump
Once a vocal critic of EV tax credits, Elon Musk is now defending them as Tesla faces falling sales, plunging profits, and stiff global competition. The $7,500 credit, which Musk previously claimed Tesla didn’t need, is now central to his opposition to a Republican tax bill that would cut incentives for EVs and solar—while leaving fossil fuel subsidies untouched. As Tesla’s market share and income shrink, analysts warn that losing the credit could further damage demand. Musk denies financial motives, but experts agree: Tesla now needs every edge it can get to stay competitive in the slowing U.S. EV market.
