Elon Musk just pitched his next big idea. This is Motley Fool Money.

Welcome to Motley Fool Money with the Hidden Gems team. I'm John Quas, joined today by

Matt Frankel and Rachel Warren. Today we're talking about Elon Musk's big idea, as well as some

other big ideas that we really like. But first, I kind of wanted to avoid it, but we have to talk

about it. Early this morning, before the market opened, U.S. President Trump announced that they'd

had productive talks with Iran over the weekend. Of course, we all know that the operations

happening in Iran have had a huge impact on oil prices. It's been a roller coaster ride, and I'm positive.

We have not reached the final chapter of this ride yet. But with the market up so sharply

today, I felt like we needed to talk about it, acknowledge it. Rachel and Matt, the market

was down last week, up sharply this morning. Was the announcement

from the president that good? Was the news that good? Well, yes, and no. So for one thing,

I mean, you said we try to avoid talking about the war, but it's nice to talk about it on a somewhat

positive note for a change. For one thing, take this news with a big grain of salt. As you said,

we're probably not close to the final chapter yet. The president decided to delay certain strikes specifically

on Iran's energy resources after productive talks. And right after he said that, Iran quickly

denied that any talks had actually taken place. So Iran at the beginning of the war, if you remember,

they said that they're, I think it was their prime minister, is that what it's called, was alive and well after he had been killed in air strikes. So, you know, who's to say what did or did not happen? And if talks happened, how productive they actually were. Of course, this is two different sides telling two kind of very biased sides of the story, I guess I would say. But on the other hand, the market

was clearly ready for any signs of de-escalation in the conflict, and we finally got one. For the past

few weeks, I don't know about you guys, it seemed like the situation was gradually getting worse

and more uncertain on a daily basis. It's a nice change of pace. So just to be clear, the war is still going on. I want to get

that right out there. So we're not likely to see a broad, sustained rebound in the market in

unless further developments happen. Even after today's move, my portfolio is still very much down.
