Hey everybody, we're all back here and today most of the news items that are sort of important

today are falling a little bit adjacent to Tesla.

We do have some Tesla items that we'll talk about, but kind of the big stories right now

in video earnings, the DeSantis Twitter space, so we'll touch on those and then get into

some of the Tesla-related news, which should be relatively brief to take.

All right, looking at the stock, Tesla and the day-to-day down one and a half percent

to close at $182.90, well, the NASDAQ was down 6.10% of a percent on the day.

Tesla recovering a bit after hours, up about 1.25% right now, of course, following Nvidia's

earnings, which seems to be providing a lift to a number of stocks right now.

So just to quickly touch on that, Nvidia did beat expectations today, but more importantly,

they gave really, really strong guidance for Q2.

Analyst expectation for Q2 was for Nvidia to report about $7.2 billion, and they actually

guided for sales of $11 billion, so a little bit higher than 50% above analyst expectation,

which is resulting in last time I checked about a 25% increase in Nvidia stock after hours.

So just kind of goes to show the interest in AI right now and how that is benefiting Nvidia

and hopefully down the line, we see that also in different ways benefit Tesla as well.

But just kind of interesting to see what's going on in the markets and sort of the wave

there.

I mean, we've seen Palantir over the last few days performably well since their earnings

report, they seem to be jumping significantly after hours today on this report too.

So just a lot of interest flowing into that space in the capital markets right now, which

obviously has some correlation to Tesla in certain ways.
