Musk said he'd form a new pol party called the #AmericaParty. Tesla shares fell Monday. Tesla SHs have wanted Musk to stay away from politics, esp after his stint at the so-called DOGE, which many have said damaged the automaker’s brand.
Musk left DOGE in May, which helped Tesla’s stock.
Now his reinvolvement in the pol arena is making investors nervous.
Musk➡️ #ETTD. There may be a new hashtag: #TMTP (Trump Makes You Poorer), bc of his policies, EOs, threats...

Subterranean life in the groundwaters of northern Australia csiro.au/en/news/All/Articles/…
"#Stygofauna are creatures specifically adapted to life in underground aquatic habitats... Often dwelling in darkness, many have lost their eyes and have developed a range of unique features to thrive in these environments, frequently low in nutrients and oxygen... They contribute water purification and nutrient cycling within aquifers, which directly impact the quality and availability of our resources."

in reply to stella • • •The image features a character with a stylized, anime-inspired design. The character has dark, spiky hair with a hint of teal on the left side. They have large, expressive eyes with a striking red and orange color, giving them a fierce and intense look. The character's ears are pointed and resemble those of a fox, adding to the animalistic theme. They are wearing round glasses with a thin frame, and their outfit includes a black vest and a bow tie, suggesting a formal or semi-formal style. The character's expression is serious, with a slight frown, and they have a unique earring on the right ear, which is a dangling piece with pink and white beads. The background is dark, which contrasts with the character's glowing eyes and highlights their features.
