A day to remember: June 12th 2026, the sum of publicly traded Musk meme stock exceeds 3 trillion dollars. Well done, Mr Market.

Not to embellish or dismiss, but this is a bit of a chart crime. IEA estimated world inventories at 8.2 BILLION barrels as of March 2026. The operational minimum would be at 6.8B. So bad and gonna get worse, but this chart looks pointless ?

So some are the "who knew" people who did not see right through Trump after the 2016 campaign, 4 years of Trump 45, Jan 6, the Mar-a-lago documents case, the GA interference case and the 2024 campaign, and still voted for him, because they were watching the price of eggs instead ?

The United States uses about twice as much energy per person as Switzerland or the UK. The US also has worse public health and life expectancy. Few countries use more energy per person than the US. Most of them are, like the US, petrostates.
Graph of Human Develppment Index, a UN metric that combines per-capita GDP, education, and health, vs. annual energy use per person. Each dot is a country. HDI increases with energy use to a point, then saturates. The US is twice as far to the right on energy use per person as the "kink point" where energy use stops influencing HDI. The UK and Switzerland are near the kink point, using about half the per-capita energy of the US, but have better health and education outcomes.

Oh no. Tesla down 65.4% in Switzerland in January as well. Data point to watch is 3rd month/full quarter though. Because Tesla never figured out how not to jerk its supply chain with sudden squirts in M3 of every Q.

Quite shocking that the FT falls for this dumb geniusy rich narrative instead of debunking it. In particular, Musk's laughable valuation pumps. All others in the top 10 could monetize. All Musk has is a meme stock and 42% of a space company hanging at the bosoms of the federal government.

Stocks slump again after China fires back in trade war with tariffs on US goods
