DINERO FOUND GUILTY OF TRESPASSING ON SCHOOL PROPERTY

Baird financial services analyst Ben Kallo warned that Tesla CEO Elon Musk's political antics could be destroying the valuation of his company.

During a Monday morning report, CNBC host Carl Quintanilla offered investors bad news about Tesla's stock value.

"Tesla posing its 7th straight week of declines," he announced. "It's longest losing streak on record. Shares are now trading at their lowest level since the election. It is the worst performing stock in the S&P 500 so far this year."

Kallo explained why the company was struggling.

"It's going to continue to perpetuate the narrative of Musk destroying demand out there," he told Quintanilla.

"Yeah, well, is that just noise and just a narrative, or is that actually observably happening right here?" Quintanilla asked.

"Well, I think that, you know, when people's cars are in jeopardy of being keyed or, you know, set on fire out there, even people that support Musk or are indifferent to Musk might think twice about buying a Tesla," Kallo said. "But I do think that with the production ramp impacting deliveries, that's the bigger thing that will continue that narrative of demand at risk."

"And so I think that we have at least a couple of months until we determine if he's attracting more buyers or losing more buyers, which I've seen the argument out there from my fellow analysts all over the place," he continued. "But there's a lot of uncertainty here."

"It's very plausible that demand is being destructed. I would say in Europe, even more plausible."

A member of Donald Trump's family laughed and struggled Sunday to think of an example when asked about a time the President was nice to a woman in the family.

Mary Trump, the President's niece and a trained psychologist, did a live Q&A over the weekend in which she was asked various questions from viewers.

One individual asked Mary Trump, "Can you remember a time when he was nice to any woman in your family? His mother, cousins, aunts, etc."

After laughing at the question, Mary Trump says Donald Trump and another family member, his sister Maryanne Trump Barry, both struggled with empathy in part thanks to influences from their father.

"Not really," she answered. "Not in a deep, genuine way."

She went on to say that, while she has no desire to create compassion for him, "Both of them, at one point, did have impulses to be kind, empathetic people, but it was so deformed by my grandfather's abuse, that they just couldn't do it."

"She tried harder and managed on occasion," Mary Trump added. "For Donald, it just completely... it was so weak. That impulse was so weak, and there were so many people including my grandfather fueling the opposite impulses."

She concluded her answer by saying, "It just couldn't last. There's literally no kindness or empathy left in this person at all."

Financial markets are still reeling from this week's back-and-forth with the United States' key trade partners, as President Donald Trump announced and then almost immediately withdrew crippling new tariffs.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday down another 478 points, down 1.1%. Trading on the S&P 500 closed after a decline of 0.7%, and the Nasdaq Composite was down 0.2%, for the worst day of trading since September according to Yahoo Finance. The stock market has been sliding amid fears that consumer spending would contract in response to tariffs Trump announced would be going into effect on Canada and Mexico in particular. While those tariffs have been reversed for now, Trump has indicated that 50% tariffs on imported steel and aluminum from Canada will still go into effect early Wednesday morning at midnight.

Trump has attempted to boost investor confidence by walking back his previous comments to Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo in which he didn't rule out a recession happening as soon as this year. But Politico reported Tuesday that one of his top Cabinet secretaries may be "forced to take the fall," with "few friends in the administration" left to defend him.

According to the outlet, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick — who co-chaired Trump's presidential transition team along with former World Wrestling Entertainment executive Linda McMahon (now Trump's secretary of education) — could be out of a job if the fallout over Trump's tariffs continues to roil markets. One unnamed source "close to the administration" told Politico that Lutnick was lately "trying to be a mini-Trump."

“I don’t think he got the memo that only Trump gets to be Trump,” the source said. “It just reinforces that he doesn’t really know how to do the job.”

Politico additionally reported that administration officials are "growing increasingly frustrated" with the commerce secretary, complaining that he often gets "out in front" of Trump and has "contradicted his messaging." They add that he has "a lack of understanding of even the basics about how tariffs and the economy work."

Last week, Lutnick made headlines after telling CNBC that "prices are going to rise" as a result of tariffs, but that companies can avoid tariffs by making their products in the United States. When hosts reminded him that companies offshore production because labor costs are lower, Lutnick proclaimed that manufacturing jobs would be done by "robots."
