U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said Friday on CNBC that China has not removed non-tariff barriers as agreed. ......... “We haven’t seen the flow of some of those critical minerals as they were supposed to be doing,” Greer said. ........... China in December announced export bans to the U.S. of critical minerals including gallium, germanium and antimony. It announced more export controls on rare earth minerals in April, in response to Trump's tariffs.

Kremlin staged drone attack on Putin's helicopter Four sources within the government and the Kremlin told The Moscow Times that security officials promoted this shocking and "risky" episode in the media to convince Russians that their leader is not hiding behind others, but is also supposedly taking risks and making sacrifices......... The Moscow Times reported that the "sensational claim" that Putin’s helicopter had found itself "in the epicentre of a large-scale enemy drone attack" was disseminated by the Russian Defence Ministry via the state-run VGTRK television channel.

Chinese EV exec says China rollout of Tesla’s self-driving tech is a ‘DeepSeek moment’ for autonomous vehicles “This is actually the first time you saw the technology tackling complex driving conditions in Chinese streets to be used side-by-side,” Gu said. “The reason I say it’s very similar to a DeepSeek moment is that, compared to Tesla, the Chinese companies, including ourselves, are so much [more] under-resourced.” ......

Despite having fewer computing resources and capital available than its U.S. competitors, XPeng’s self-driving cars performed better than Tesla’s in China, according to Gu.

.......... When the Chinese AI startup DeepSeek released its R1 large language model in January, it shook the entire industry with its remarkable performance and efficiency. DeepSeek had spent a fraction of what the major U.S. companies such as Google and OpenAI had spent on their AI models, yet produced comparable results. ............. Those issues were resolved, making Tesla’s program available again,
although with a name change from “Full Self-Driving” to “Intelligent Assisted Driving.”
............. Despite the name, Tesla’s FSD system still requires human drivers to remain fully alert in the car in order to intervene at any moment. FSD is classified as level two autonomous driving. XPeng’s cars currently have the same self-driving classification. ........... Software for level-three autonomy would be completed in the back half of this year and level four would be ready in 2026, XPeng said in March. ............ “Now we’re looking at potentially having level 3 in two years; level 4 probably in four years, that can be widely used on Chinese roads”

Elon Musk's Drug Use Much Greater Than Previously Known: New York Times Musk’s attorney Alex Spiro told the Journal at the time that his client is “regularly and randomly drug tested at SpaceX” and has “never failed a test.” ........ In April, Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-N.J.) introduced a bill that would require Musk and his hires at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency to undergo regular drug testing, though the bill has gone nowhere in the Republican-majority house.

Steve Bannon says Elon Musk and Scott Bessent had "physical confrontation" According to Bannon, Bessent confronted Musk over his sweeping but unfulfilled promises to deliver $1 trillion in budget cuts. "Scott Bessent called him out and said, 'You promised us a trillion dollars in cuts, and now you're at like $100 billion. Nobody can find any savings. What are you doing?'" Bannon recounted........... According to Bannon, Musk's status in Trump's orbit also diminished after the March leak that he was slated for top-secret military briefings on China, which Trump abruptly canceled. Bannon noted, "The president backed [Bessent] just like the president didn't allow the briefing on China," adding, "People in the administration and the White House realized he didn't have any idea what he's doing. They cauterized the damage." ............... Bannon emphasized that this marked a turning point: "That's the inflection point, you see Elon all changed from that moment." ......... Bannon also criticized Musk's handling of his DOGE promises, particularly after Trump's State of the Union address that referenced millions of allegedly fraudulent Social Security recipients over age 100. Musk's claims of fraud were debunked as "primarily due to an accounting error," with Bannon stating, "Not one penny was ever shown to have been sent to these people." ............. "Is anyone trying to talk to Elon now? No," Bannon remarked, attributing the fallout from the White House's "Big Beautiful Bill" to Musk. He explained that Republicans in Congress had counted on Musk's promised spending cuts, but "he didn't deliver." .......... Bannon said, "The political class on Capitol Hill willingly got behind a pied piper and wasted five months." .............. "The people at fault here are Congress. They wanted to have a fairy godmother come in and wave a magic wand and say, it's all fraud, and get them off the hook. Particularly [House Speaker Mike] Johnson…they didn't invite Musk to Capitol Hill because they think he's politically radioactive, and they all lined up and didn't do the work on these bills…There's no cuts." ........... Musk's decision to step down was likely a strategic move to recover his image, with polls acting as real-time barometers of his personal brand health. .......... The Axios Harris Poll 100 places Tesla and SpaceX near the bottom of the rankings, at 95th and 86th, respectively. ............ During the press conference, Musk appeared to have a black eye. When asked about it, he joked that he wasn't "anywhere near France," a reference to an incident where French President Emmanuel Macron's wife Brigitte was seen pushing her husband before they walked off an airplane. ............ Trump, who said he hadn't noticed Musk's black eye, smiled at the story and added, "X could do it. If you knew X, he could do it." ......... Following news of Musk's departure, Scott Bessent publicly praised the billionaire on X, writing: "@DOGEand@elonmusk have set some very important work in motion—which we are committed to continuing. The Trump administration is cutting costs and making the government more productive for the American people."

Trump's move-fast-and-break-things tariff strategy collides with reality
