Tesla Shares Plunge as Elon Musk Launches Political Party, Sparking Investor Jitters

Tesla shares took a major hit on Monday, plummeting 6.8% to close at $293.94 on the Nasdaq, following CEO Elon Musk’s surprise announcement that he is launching a political party named the ‘America Party.’ The move has heightened investor concerns that Musk’s growing political interests are further distracting him from Tesla’s core business, which is already facing declining sales and increased competition. One of Tesla’s Worst Days in 2025 The sharp decline marked one of the worst single-day performances for Tesla this year. In monetary terms, the EV giant lost more than $68 billion in market capitalization in a single session. If the downward trend continues, analysts estimate that Tesla could shed over $80 billion in valuation, raising questions about the company’s long-term stability and leadership. Political Feud with Trump Escalates The controversy escalated after Musk had a very public falling out with former ally and current U.S. President Donald Trump, particularly over a tax-cut and spending bill. Trump mocked Musk’s new party as “ridiculous” and threatened to cut off billions in federal subsidies to Musk’s companies. The feud, which began in early June, previously wiped $150 billion off Tesla’s value in a single day during that period. Investor Concerns Over Distraction and Leadership Musk’s political ambitions are prompting renewed scrutiny of Tesla’s governance. While Tesla Chair Robyn Denholm denied earlier reports of efforts to replace Musk, the latest developments have reignited debate over the board’s oversight. Some analysts argue that Musk’s increasing political entanglement is eroding public trust and shifting focus away from Tesla’s innovation and performance. “The company is set to lose more than $80 billion in market valuation if current losses hold,” said Jed Dorsheimer, an equity analyst, as quoted by Bloomberg. Musk’s Net Worth Takes a Hit The fallout also dented Musk’s personal fortune. On Monday alone, his net worth dropped by $15.3 billion, reducing his year-to-date wealth loss to $86.7 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Despite the dip, Musk remains the world’s richest person, with an estimated net worth of $346 billion. What’s Next for Tesla? With Tesla shares already down 27% this year, largely attributed to Musk’s political distractions and market headwinds, investors are watching closely for any corrective measures from the board or leadership reassurances from Musk. As Tesla juggles falling consumer demand, rising competition, and internal distractions, the road ahead may prove turbulent unless priorities are refocused.

‘Rudali Rally, Not Victory’: Fadnavis Takes Sarcastic Swipe at Thackeray Cousins’ Reunion

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis responded with pointed sarcasm on Saturday to the much-hyped ‘Voice of Marathi’ rally, which saw Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray sharing a political stage for the first time since their 2005 split. Referring to MNS chief Raj Thackeray’s comment that Fadnavis had done what even Bal Thackeray couldn’t — bring the cousins together — the BJP leader quipped, “Balasaheb must be showering blessings on me.” Mocking the nature of Uddhav Thackeray’s speech, Fadnavis said, “I was told it would be a ‘vijay rally’ but it turned into a ‘rudali’ (mourning) speech. Instead of speaking for the Marathi cause, it became all about how his government was toppled.” Backdrop: Rally Over Rollback of Language Policy The rally was held to celebrate the Maharashtra government’s withdrawal of orders related to the three-language formula, which had triggered protests over alleged ‘Hindi imposition’. The opposition had criticized the policy as an attack on Marathi identity. In a dramatic moment at the event, Raj and Uddhav Thackeray hugged and raised hands together, symbolizing a possible thaw in their decades-old rift. In his speech, Raj Thackeray declared, “What Bal Thackeray could not do, Devendra Fadnavis has done — brought us together.” He also sent a warning to the government: “You may have power in the Vidhan Bhawan, but we have power on the roads.” Uddhav Slams BJP, Shinde; Raj Rallies Marathi Pride Uddhav Thackeray, speaking after Raj, said the “distance” between the cousins had been bridged. He launched a scathing attack on the BJP and Eknath Shinde, calling the 2022 rebellion that toppled his government a betrayal of the Marathi mandate. He labelled Shinde a “gaddar” (traitor) and accused the ruling BJP-Shinde alliance of disrespecting the Marathi language and people. Fadnavis Hits Back Fadnavis, speaking to reporters after the event, didn’t hold back. He ridiculed Uddhav’s emotional tone and accused the Shiv Sena (UBT) of using the Marathi cause as a political shield:“It was less about Marathi and more about mourning their lost power. It felt like watching a ‘rudali darshan’.” He also criticized the Shiv Sena’s legacy in Mumbai’s governance:“They had control over the BMC for 25 years and delivered nothing. Under PM Modi’s leadership, BJP has changed Mumbai’s face and stood firmly with the Marathi ‘manoos’.” Political Implications The public reunion of the Thackeray cousins has fueled speculation about a new alignment ahead of the 2025 Maharashtra assembly elections. However, Fadnavis’ biting sarcasm and assertion of BJP’s developmental narrative signal that the battle for Marathi identity and political ground is far from settled. With Raj and Uddhav presenting a united front and Fadnavis doubling down on BJP’s achievements, Maharashtra’s political arena is poised for intense confrontations in the coming months.

विशेष गहन पुनरीक्षण (Special Intensive Revision – SIR) को लेकर बिहार में मचे सियासी घमासान के बीच, राज्य मुख्य निर्वाचन कार्यालय ने रविवार (6 जुलाई, 2025) को एक महत्वपूर्ण घोषणा की है। विज्ञापन के माध्यम से बताया गया कि अब मतदाता जरूरी दस्तावेज़ प्रस्तुत न कर सकें, तब भी उनका नाम मतदाता सूची में सत्यापित किया जा सकता है। स्थानीय जांच से होगा निर्णय विज्ञापन में कहा गया, “यदि आप आवश्यक दस्तावेज़ उपलब्ध कराते हैं, तो निर्वाचक नामांकन पदाधिकारी (ERO) के लिए आपका आवेदन प्रक्रिया में लेना आसान हो जाएगा। लेकिन यदि आप दस्तावेज़ देने में असमर्थ हैं, तो ERO स्थानीय जांच या अन्य वैकल्पिक प्रमाण के आधार पर निर्णय ले सकता है।” यह पहला अवसर है जब चुनाव आयोग ने दस्तावेज़ों के बिना भी सत्यापन को स्वीकार किया है — विपक्ष की लगातार आपत्तियों के बाद यह कदम उठाया गया है। BLO को तुरंत फॉर्म दें, चाहे दस्तावेज़ न हों विज्ञापन में मतदाताओं से अपील की गई है कि जैसे ही उन्हें गणना प्रपत्र (एनुमरेशन फॉर्म) BLO (बूथ लेवल ऑफिसर) से प्राप्त हो, उसे भरकर तुरंत वापस करें। यदि दस्तावेज़ और फोटो उपलब्ध हों तो साथ में दें, अन्यथा सिर्फ फॉर्म भरकर भी BLO को सौंप सकते हैं। Aadhaar, PAN, MGNREGA कार्ड नहीं मान्य हालांकि, मतदाता पहचान के लिए आधार कार्ड, पैन कार्ड, मनरेगा जॉब कार्ड, वोटर आईडी, ड्राइविंग लाइसेंस और बैंक पासबुक को अमान्य बताया गया है। इसकी जगह 11 विशिष्ट दस्तावेज़ों को मान्य किया गया है, जिनमें शामिल हैं: कन्फ्यूजन न हो: दस्तावेज़ सूची में बदलाव नहीं, बस प्रक्रिया लचीली CEO कार्यालय के एक अधिकारी ने बताया कि दस्तावेज़ों की सूची यथावत है, लेकिन वोटर की परेशानी को देखते हुए कुछ लचीलापन जोड़ा गया है, जिससे ERO अब दस्तावेज़ों के अभाव में भी फिजिकल वेरिफिकेशन कर सकता है। अधिकारी ने स्पष्ट किया, “कम से कम मतदाता फॉर्म भरकर जरूर जमा करें, चाहे दस्तावेज़ और फोटो न भी हो।” विपक्ष का विरोध और सुप्रीम कोर्ट तक मामला INDIA गठबंधन के नेताओं ने शुक्रवार (4 जुलाई) को तेजस्वी यादव के नेतृत्व में मुख्य निर्वाचन अधिकारी विनोद सिंह गुंजियाल से मुलाकात की और SIR को अव्यवहारिक व अलोकतांत्रिक करार दिया। उन्होंने आधार कार्ड, राशन कार्ड और मनरेगा कार्ड को मान्य दस्तावेज़ों में शामिल करने की मांग की। अब तक कितनी हुई प्रगति? 5 जुलाई रात 7 बजे तक: मुख्य निर्वाचन अधिकारी गुंजियाल ने प्रदेशवासियों से अपील की है कि वे SIR प्रक्रिया में सक्रिय भागीदारी करें और किसी भी माध्यम (ऑफलाइन या ऑनलाइन) से फॉर्म भरकर दें, ताकि कोई भी पात्र मतदाता सूची से वंचित न रहे।

27% OBC आरक्षण में देरी पर कांग्रेस का अल्टीमेटम: प्रदेशव्यापी आंदोलन की चेतावनी

मध्यप्रदेश में अन्य पिछड़ा वर्ग (OBC) को 27% आरक्षण देने में हो रही देरी को लेकर कांग्रेस ने राज्य की भाजपा सरकार को खुली चेतावनी दी है। शनिवार को प्रदेश कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष जीतू पटवारी और विधानसभा में नेता प्रतिपक्ष उमंग सिंघार ने संयुक्त प्रेस वार्ता में कहा कि यदि शीघ्र ही OBC आरक्षण लागू नहीं किया गया तो कांग्रेस पूरे प्रदेश में आंदोलन शुरू करेगी। “भाजपा का ओबीसी विरोधी चेहरा सामने आ गया है। कांग्रेस अंतिम दम तक इस अन्याय के खिलाफ लड़ेगी,” पटवारी ने कहा। उन्होंने भाजपा सरकार पर धोखाधड़ी, विश्वासघात और ओबीसी समाज के साथ शर्मनाक अन्याय करने का आरोप लगाया। उन्होंने कहा कि राज्य सरकार संविधान की मूल संरचना से भी छेड़छाड़ कर रही है, ताकि पिछड़े वर्ग को उनके अधिकार न मिलें। सुप्रीम कोर्ट की बार-बार सख्त हिदायतों के बावजूद 27% आरक्षण लागू नहीं किया गया, जिससे ओबीसी समाज को उनके संवैधानिक अधिकार से वंचित किया जा रहा है। पटवारी ने कहा, “यह भाजपा की साजिश है कि प्रदेश की 50% से ज्यादा आबादी को गुलाम बनाकर उनका भविष्य बर्बाद किया जाए। हम यह कभी बर्दाश्त नहीं करेंगे।” सुप्रीम कोर्ट की फटकार नेता प्रतिपक्ष उमंग सिंघार ने बताया कि शुक्रवार को सुप्रीम कोर्ट में OBC आरक्षण के मामले की सुनवाई के दौरान कोर्ट ने राज्य सरकार की निष्क्रियता और टालमटोल रवैये पर कड़ी नाराज़गी जताई। कोर्ट ने मुख्य सचिव से हलफनामा मांगा है, जिसमें यह स्पष्ट करना होगा कि वर्तमान में रुके हुए 13% पदों की नियुक्तियों में क्या बाधाएं हैं। सिंघार ने कहा कि 2019 में तत्कालीन कमलनाथ सरकार ने OBC आरक्षण को 14% से बढ़ाकर 27% कर दिया था, जिससे कुल आरक्षण कोटा 63% हो गया था। लेकिन भाजपा सरकार कोर्ट में लंबित याचिकाओं का बहाना बनाकर इसे लागू नहीं कर रही है। उन्होंने बताया कि 25 जून को सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने राज्य सरकार से पूछा था कि जब कोई कानूनी बाधा नहीं है, तो 27% आरक्षण अभी तक लागू क्यों नहीं किया गया? फिर भी भाजपा सरकार इस दिशा में कोई ठोस कदम नहीं उठा रही है। कांग्रेस की मांगें और चेतावनी कांग्रेस नेताओं ने मांग की कि: अन्यथा, कांग्रेस पूरे प्रदेश में विरोध-प्रदर्शन, रैलियां और जन-जागरूकता अभियान शुरू करेगी।

India Fought Three Adversaries in Operation Sindoor: Top General Reveals China-Turkey-Pakistan Nexus in May Clash

India was not just up against Pakistan during the four-day Operation Sindoor in May 2025 but was also challenged by covert and strategic support from China and Turkey, revealed Lieutenant General Rahul R. Singh, Deputy Chief of Army Staff (Capability Development & Sustenance), on Friday. His remarks mark the first official acknowledgment of the tri-nation collaboration against India in what has been described as the most intense military clash between India and Pakistan in decades. Speaking at a conference on New Age Military Technologies organized by FICCI in New Delhi, Lt. Gen. Singh said the May 7–10 confrontation saw China treat the conflict as a “live laboratory” to evaluate the performance of its weapons systems, including J-10 and JF-17 fighter jets, PL-15 air-to-air missiles, and the HQ-9 air defence system—most of which saw their first combat use during the operation. Singh stated, “One border, three adversaries — Pakistan at the front, China in the background, and Turkey offering technological support. China used Pakistan to test its weapons. This is their classic strategy: kill with a borrowed knife.”He added that China was providing real-time intelligence to Pakistan, including the location of Indian military assets. “Pakistan even mentioned during DGMO talks that they knew which vectors were primed for attack. That information came from China.” This is the first time the Indian military has confirmed real-time battlefield coordination between Beijing and Islamabad, and the active combat use of Turkish drones, including the Bayraktar series, during the conflict. Singh noted that Turkey not only supplied UAVs but also deployed trained personnel to support Pakistan during the hostilities. Operation Sindoor: Background & ImpactOperation Sindoor was launched on May 7, 2025, in retaliation to the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians. India struck nine terror and military installations in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The intense conflict featured missiles, drones, long-range artillery, and fighter jets. While Pakistan reportedly sought a ceasefire on May 10 after suffering heavy damage, Lt Gen Singh revealed that India had a larger military strike ready. “Pakistan asked for a ceasefire because they sensed a powerful, hidden punch was coming,” he said—marking the first official nod to a potential naval or expanded joint-force operation that may have been in the pipeline. Key Lessons and Strategic ShiftLt Gen Singh emphasized that India’s response reflects a paradigm shift in security strategy.“No longer will India absorb pain silently. Now, any sub-conventional (terror) attack will be met with conventional military retaliation,” he said. He credited India’s leadership for the clarity in strategic messaging and the timely decision to end hostilities, calling it a “masterstroke” that prevented escalation beyond desired objectives. Singh also cautioned that future conflicts may see population centres come under direct attack, stressing the need for enhanced air defence, counter-drone systems, and rapid military technology upgrades. Political Fallout and Calls for DebateThe revelation drew immediate political reactions. Congress MP Jairam Ramesh accused the government of downplaying Chinese threats, citing Prime Minister Modi’s 2020 comment that China had not entered Indian territory. The Congress reiterated its long-standing demand for a comprehensive debate on India-China relations in Parliament. ConclusionOperation Sindoor may be remembered not just for India’s robust military retaliation but also as a turning point that exposed the deepening military axis between Pakistan, China, and Turkey. The Indian military’s readiness, rapid escalation control, and strategic maturity offer key takeaways as India gears up for future multidimensional threats.

Raj and Uddhav Thackeray Reunite After Two Decades to Celebrate Rollback of Hindi Language Policy in Maharashtra

In a rare and politically charged reunion, estranged cousins Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray came together on Saturday at the NSCI Dome in Worli, Mumbai, for a joint rally titled ‘Awaj Marathicha’ (Voice of the Marathi). The rally was held to celebrate the Maharashtra government’s decision to roll back its controversial policy of introducing Hindi as a compulsory third language from Class 1 in state schools. This public display of unity — the first in over 18 years — between the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray has sparked fresh speculation about a potential political realignment in the state. The rally witnessed participation from Marathi writers, poets, educators, editors, artists, and hundreds of Marathi language enthusiasts. During the event, Raj Thackeray asserted that the strong show of unity among Marathi people forced the Devendra Fadnavis-led government to withdraw the two government resolutions (GRs) introducing Hindi. Taking a swipe at the ruling party, Raj questioned, “If Maharashtra is ahead of Hindi-speaking states like UP, Bihar, and Rajasthan, why are we being forced to learn Hindi?” He added that “Marathi is our core agenda. The BJP is forcing Maharashtra to follow Hindi.” Uddhav Thackeray, meanwhile, launched a direct attack on the BJP, declaring, “Hindutva is not anyone’s monopoly. We are deeply rooted Hindus. Don’t teach us Hinduism.” He further stated, “Hindu and Hindustan are acceptable, but the imposition of Hindi will not be tolerated — not even by your seven generations.” The former Maharashtra CM also took aim at industrialist Gautam Adani, claiming, “Most of Mumbai’s land has been grabbed by Adani. We should be ashamed that our martyrs sacrificed their lives for Mumbai, and today, we can’t even protect our land.” Reflecting on their reunion, Uddhav said, “We have come together to stay together. This unity is for the protection of Marathi identity.” Raj, echoing the sentiment, jokingly noted that CM Fadnavis had done what Balasaheb Thackeray never could — unite the two cousins on the same stage. The rally marked a significant moment in Maharashtra’s regional politics, not just as a celebration of linguistic pride, but as a possible harbinger of new political equations in the state.

Trump Secures Major Win as Congress Passes Sweeping Tax and Spending Bill Amid Backlash

In a razor-thin vote, U.S. President Donald Trump clinched one of the most consequential legislative victories of his second term as Congress passed his flagship tax and spending bill on Thursday. Touted by Trump as the foundation of a “new Golden Age” for America, the bill passed the House of Representatives by a narrow 218-214 margin, overcoming fierce opposition and internal GOP divisions. The bill—dubbed the “One Big Beautiful Bill”—delivers on key Trump campaign promises, including mass deportations, significant tax cuts, and a boost in military spending, while slashing programs such as Medicaid and food assistance. The legislation is expected to add $3.4 trillion to the national debt over the next decade. GOP Cohesion Secured After All-Night Talks House Speaker Mike Johnson played a pivotal role in pushing the bill across the finish line, working overnight to bring skeptical Republicans on board. Trump also worked behind the scenes, personally lobbying lawmakers through calls and White House meetings, aiming to minimize defections among more than two dozen GOP members who had voiced concerns about the bill’s impact on vulnerable communities and rural hospitals. Despite Republican unease over steep social program cuts, party leadership held the line—ensuring Trump’s 869-page proposal reached his desk in time for a July 4th signing ceremony. “One of the most consequential Bills ever. The USA is the ‘HOTTEST’ Country in the World, by far!!!” Trump posted on social media shortly after the vote. What’s in the Bill? SEVERAL estimates suggest up to 17 million low-income Americans could lose Medicaid coverage, with dozens of rural hospitals at risk of shutting down due to reduced funding. Democrats Slam “Abomination” of a Bill House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries mounted a lengthy filibuster-style speech, holding the floor for nearly nine hours in a bid to delay the final vote. He condemned the legislation as a “disgusting abomination” and a “reckless Republican budget” that favors the ultra-rich at the expense of ordinary Americans. “This bill is not about improving the quality of life of the American people,” Jeffries said, telling personal stories of constituents who may suffer under the bill’s provisions. Fallout: Elon Musk, Clean Energy Sector Clash with Trump The bill also triggered an open feud between Trump and Elon Musk, as it scraps federal subsidies for clean energy and electric vehicles, threatening Musk’s business empire and signaling a broader rollback of climate-related initiatives. What’s Next? The bill marks a defining moment in Trump’s second term and a high-stakes gamble ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. While it cements his grip on the Republican Party, it may provide Democrats with ammunition to regain the House, especially in swing districts where Medicaid cuts and rural hospital closures could be politically costly. As Trump prepares to sign the bill into law on Independence Day, the nation remains deeply divided over a sweeping piece of legislation that supporters hail as transformative—and critics condemn as catastrophic.

भोपाल स्मार्ट सिटी: 9 साल बाद भी अधूरा सपना, फंडिंग रुकी, ज़मीन कब्जों से प्रोजेक्ट अटका

भोपाल। देश के पहले चरण में चयनित स्मार्ट सिटी मिशन 2016 के तहत शुरू हुआ राजधानी भोपाल का स्मार्ट सिटी प्रोजेक्ट 9 साल बाद भी अधूरा है। TT नगर के उत्तर और दक्षिण हिस्से में फैले 342 एकड़ क्षेत्र को अत्याधुनिक शहरी क्षेत्र में बदलने का सपना धीमी गति, अतिक्रमण और ज़मीन अधिग्रहण में रुकावटों की वजह से अब अधर में लटक गया है। इस बीच, मार्च 2025 में केंद्र सरकार ने स्मार्ट सिटी मिशन की अवधि समाप्त कर दी, जिससे अब आगे की फंडिंग पूरी तरह से बंद हो गई है। अब तक कितना हुआ काम? कुछ ही हिस्से हुए पूरे स्मार्ट सिटी प्रोजेक्ट के तहत केवल कुछ ही हिस्सों जैसे हाट बाजार, स्मार्ट रोड, बुलेवर्ड रोड और दशहरा ग्राउंड का निर्माण पूरा हुआ है। तीन स्मार्ट रोड अब भी अधूरी हैं। ABD क्षेत्र में विकसित कमर्शियल प्लॉट्स में से केवल 20% की बिक्री ही हो पाई है। कई बुक किए गए प्लॉटों की पेमेंट अधूरी है और अतिक्रमण अब भी मौजूद हैं, जिससे राजस्व व विकास दोनों पर असर पड़ा है। क्या कहती हैं अधिकारी? स्मार्ट सिटी CEO अंजू अरुण कुमार ने Free Press से बातचीत में कहा, “हम शेष अतिक्रमण हटाने की पूरी कोशिश कर रहे हैं। निवासियों के पुनर्वास की योजना बनाई जा रही है ताकि सभी अवैध निर्माण हटाए जा सकें।” अब आगे क्या? केंद्र सरकार की ओर से अब कोई वित्तीय सहयोग नहीं मिलेगा। राज्य सरकार और स्थानीय निकायों पर यह जिम्मेदारी आ गई है कि वे बचे हुए प्रोजेक्ट को अपने संसाधनों से पूरा करें या फिर इसे नई रूपरेखा के तहत पुनः विचार करें। भोपाल स्मार्ट सिटी की यह स्थिति देश भर में चल रही स्मार्ट सिटी परियोजनाओं की हकीकत और चुनौतियों को उजागर करती है — जहां उच्च आकांक्षाओं और जमीनी सच्चाई के बीच गहरी खाई दिखती है।
