BREAKING: Iran responds to President Trump's threat to "obliterate" Iranian power plants if the Strait of Hormuz is not opened "within 48 hours."
Iran's response:
1. Iran will "completely close" the Strait of Hormuz
2. Iran will hit “vital” infrastructure in the Middle East
3. This includes energy, IT, and water desalination facilities
4. Iran’s senior military commander says the country’s military strategy has shifted from defensive to offensive
5. Iranian officials say the country has enough reserves of essential goods to last for up to one year
Trump's deadline has 33 hours remaining.
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
Trump gave Iran a 48 hour deadline to open the Strait of Hormuz or he will bomb their power plants
Iran responded they are open to opening the Straits, but want an end to the war and assurances there won't be more wars
I think we have the foundation for an off-ramp. I hope both sides take it
The alternative could be catastrophic, especially for Iran
Side note: I interviewed Orban a couple of hours ago, and he made a very important point about the Iran war; If it ends now, it could be a great win for Trump and the U.S. The alternative could become much much worse
Fingers crossed!

Imagine the thing you choose to critique Elon Musk on is work ethic 😂
Elon Musk:
• Works 80–120 hours per week during peak periods
• Jobs created (direct + supply chain): ~600,000
• Salaries paid out by his companies: ~$110 billion
• Taxes he paid in just 2021: $11 billion (largest tax bill for an individual in history)
• Value created for shareholders: Trillions
• Drives hundreds of billions in economic impact
• Brought human spaceflight back to America (SpaceX)
• Helps paralyzed patients control computers with their thoughts, giving new meaning to their lives
• Created Starlink, enabling people to access internet anywhere
Elon’s wealth increases because his companies build products and services people love, companies that generate hundreds of billions of dollars in economic value in the U.S. and around the world. He isn't buying yachts, expensive houses or cars. He's continuously pushing his chips into the middle of the table and creating companies that are changing the world. His wealth is tied up in those companies, thus he only pays big tax bills when he sells stock, which is rare.
Current situation:
1. The US is preparing $2,000 stimulus checks
2. Japan is preparing a $110 billion stimulus package
3. China has approved a $1.4 trillion stimulus package
4. The Fed is officially ending QT on December 1st
5. The US is issuing~$1.9 trillion in treasures per year
6. Canada is restarting its Quantitative Easing program
7. Global M2 money supply is at a record $137 trillion
8. Global rate cuts are at 320+ over the last 24 months
In what world is another wave of inflation not on its way?
It's official:
The US government borrowed +$619 BILLION of debt during this 43-day government shutdown.
That's +$14.4 billion PER DAY while the Federal government was shut down.
There's only one thing that never stops in the US government:
Deficit spending.

Cathie Wood says recent market weakness will pass as liquidity returns.
She expects the Fed to end quantitative tightening on December 1, calling it “a de facto easing,” and to cut rates at the December 10 meeting.
“We think liquidity issues will clear within the next month.”
