0:03:52Elon Trump Feud Tanks Markets
Dave opened the show noting the market meltdown linked to the Elon versus Trump public fight. Landy argued the selloff was technical, with the market already in a downtrend from the prior month, and that the feud only exacerbated an existing move.

Empress challenged the idea, calling it damaging normalization of childish behavior from leaders. The group discussed possible deeper angles, including Doge Palantir partnerships, surveillance state concerns and psyops, with Landy noting four federal agencies audited by Doge just partnered with Palantir.
