Welcome to Counterpoint Crystal. Thank you so much for joining us today.

It is my pleasure. And we start today with some fantastic, fantastic news. Emily, you want to share the latest with regard to Ryan and his wife who had a significant surgery yesterday.

Yeah, absolutely. So Ryan was actually able to post on X yesterday. Update. Surgery today went very well. Doctors described it as a, quote,

best case scenario. Thank you to everybody for the well wishes and the prayers. It means a lot.

So, Crystal, you just said best news. Yeah, I mean, this is fantastic and a huge relief for Ryan.

So we're very excited for them and continuing to hope for the best.

Yes, absolutely. So he's with her today, helping her to recover, but we're really glad to hear

that news. We've got a bunch of other world news, domestic political news, to get to Trump making

some really significant comments appearing to back down from his trade war against China.

So a lot to say there.

We also got some numbers from Tesla where their net income was down 71% in the first quarter.

So things not going too well for Elon, Emily.
