Counterintuitive: the best thing with regard to the Trump phenomenon? That "gap year." Or rather, the "four-year-gap." It gave him four years to prepare for his second term. This will turn out to be huge for him and his administration.
Still the most fun I'm having: Sky News.com.au, lefties losing it. Gutfeld!

US Senate, is it now 53 - 45? With two uncalled -- Nevada and Arizona? Link here.
White House, US president's chief of staff: first female for this post ever in the history of the US; appointed by President-elect Trump. Susie Wiles with an incredible resume. Probably the second most important position in the US, after POTUS.
"Fed chair": can only be removed "for cause." A bit unclear who can remove the "Fed chair" "for cause." So, already that's an issue for the press. Current "Fed chair" was originally appointed by President-elect Trump.
The first "influencer" election: won by Trump. Perhaps most powerful, Joe Rogan. As folks may remember, Kamala Harris unable to fit a 3-hour podcast into her busy schedule. Link here.

Original Post
Just reported, three minutes ago.
- a miss on the top and bottom lines.
- 3Q24 revenue, a huge miss: $874 million vs $990 million forecast.
- a loss of $39,130 per vehicle
- that's $9,000 worse than 3Q224 (last year)
- a loss off 99 cents vs a loss of 92 cents expected
- guidance: wider loss for full year than originally forecast -- trending in wrong direction
- in interview with CNBC: CEO blames everything, including supply change shortages (plural; below, it was singular)
- to me, sounds like incredibly poor execution
- CEO calls it "noise."

- 50,000 vehicles x $39,000 = 50 x 40 x 10^6 = 50 x 40 x million = 2,000 million = $2 billion
