'Dirty Tariff Games' Played By Trump? Elon Musk Makes $36 Billions Moments After Tariff Pause

Trump’s sudden 90-day tariff pause sparked market chaos and a massive tech rebound. Elon Musk’s Tesla surged 22%, boosting his net worth by $36 billion. Silicon Valley allies, including Mark Zuckerberg, gained big—while Nancy Pelosi’s portfolio dropped $7 million. A Trump Truth Social post urging followers to ā€œbuyā€ right before the announcement fueled allegations of insider advantage and market manipulation. While the S&P 500 recovered $4 trillion in value, analysts remain skeptical about long-term stability amid ongoing China tensions. #TariffPause #Trump #ElonMusk #Tesla #Zuckerberg #Pelosi #StockMarket #MarketManipulation #TradeWar #USChina #TruthSocial #SP500 #WallStreet #EconomicPolicy #TechStocks #NancyPelosi #TrumpTweet #BuyTheDip #MarketFrenzy #EthicsInPolitics #MarketVolatility #SiliconValley #TeslaStock #Amazon #Alphabet #USPolitics #GlobalTrade #PeterNavarro #TrumpAllies #BreakingNews #EconomicImpact ~GR.124~HT.408~

Harvard DEFUNDED: Trump Admin Cuts Billions Over Gaza Protests, Demands University Surrender Control

In a stunning move, the Trump administration has pulled billions of dollars in federal aid from Harvard University, including research grants, over the school’s refusal to comply with a series of demands. The decision follows a highly partisan letter from Education Secretary Linda McMahon, accusing Harvard of violating federal law and dismissing the demands of the administration’s antisemitism taskforce. This drastic action comes in the wake of campus protests against Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, which has sparked a nationwide debate. Will Harvard stand its ground, or will it bow to government pressure? Watch to find out how this unprecedented standoff could reshape the future of American universities. #Harvard #TrumpAdministration #DefundingHarvard #CampusProtests #GazaProtests #Antisemitism #FederalAid #EducationPolicy #LindaMcMahon #HarvardCrisis #ResearchGrants #TrumpVsHarvard #UniversityControl #HigherEducation #USPolitics Also Read Harvard Not To Receive New Grants Until It Meets White House Demands: Trump Administration :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-to-not-receive-new-grants-until-it-meets-white-house-demands-trump-administration-4144481.html?ref=DMDesc Harvard Sues Donald Trump Administration Over Cut In US Federal Funding :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-sues-donald-trump-administration-over-cut-in-us-federal-funding-4130575.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Administration Freezes USD 2.2 Billion In Grants To Harvard University :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-administration-freezes-usd-2-2-billion-in-grants-to-harvard-university-4124075.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~HT.408~
