Tucker dropped one of his most explosive theories yet:
The real battlefield in today’s oil market is actually artificial intelligence.
As algorithms now dominate oil futures trading, governments no longer need to influence human traders, as they can simply flood the information space with reassuring statements, and the AI systems interpret those headlines as signals to keep prices low.
Control the narrative → control the machines → control the price.
There’s no direct proof the Trump administration is doing this on purpose, but the bigger question is impossible to ignore:
If machines are making the trades… Who's really moving the market?
The traders? Or the people shaping the information those machines consume?

🇬🇷🇷🇺 The EU’s entire 21st sanctions package on Russia is stuck because one Greek shipping empire stands to lose big.
Athens is blocking a ban on transporting Russian LNG to third countries, a move that would hit George Prokopiou’s Dynagas and its fleet of specialized Arctic carriers.
Greece says those ships can’t simply be repurposed. Other EU states say everyone has had to take a financial hit to keep pressure on Moscow.
So the whole package (Russian banks, military firms, oil-price measures and all) is now frozen over one company’s business model.
Prokopiou’s other firm, Dynacom, has already made more than $915 million shipping Russian oil since the war began.
The Kremlin may be under pressure, but Greek shipping profits are being handled with care.

What just happened?
In just 27 minutes, the Nasdaq 100 just fell -1,000 points and the S&P 500 erased -$1 TRILLION without any major headlines.
The Nasdaq opened +1% higher then fell -3% between 9:30 AM and 9:57 AM ET.
What does it all mean? Let us explain.
(a thread)
Chevron just took a 70% stake and operatorship in offshore Block 10 a deepwater frontier block in the southern Ionian Sea off the Greek Peloponnese.
Chevron is building something.
They already operate Leviathan and Tamar in Israel, Aphrodite in Cyprus, and multiple Greek offshore blocks.
Add Block 10 and Chevron now controls a nearly 14,000 km² continuous deepwater exploration zone across western and southern Greece.
That's a deliberate East Mediterranean gas province strategy.
Chevron is betting billions it's where the next major gas discoveries will be.
The catch? This is frontier exploration.
No wells drilled yet.
First production, if they find anything, is post-2030.
But that's how energy security gets built. Not in weeks. In decades.
European stock traders will need to add a further variable to their investment strategies this week: how rising interest rates will affect each corner of the market.
The AI buildout is absorbing capital at historic scale, creating temporary pressure across global markets. That does not weaken Bitcoin. It strengthens the case for scarce, liquid, digital capital. Bitcoin remains the premier asset for the long term. $BTC
Anthropic is calling for a global pause on development of the most powerful AI systems, saying current models are beginning to show signs of escaping human control.
🇺🇸🇮🇷 Oil is down 18% in May. Its worst monthly drop since COVID.
- No deal has been signed
- No blockade has been lifted.
- Brent crude sits at $92.21. WTI at $87.54.
If a U.S.-Iran agreement actually closes and the Strait of Hormuz reopens, the correction could go much deeper. Markets are already celebrating an outcome that doesn't exist yet.

Today, we remember a legend.
On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.
Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.
He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.
Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.
Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸

🇬🇧 The Silver Swan Automaton has been running flawlessly for 250 years on nothing but mainsprings and brass gears.
Built in 1773 to last forever, and it did exactly that. We've somehow gone backwards.
