Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, United Kingdom, and the United States.
This is the full #Elon interview at the Dealbook Summit. It's a hot mess and he's clearly on something(s).

ON this date in 1989 - Mobil announced that they were divesting from South Africa because congressional restrictions were too costly.
Curious, I asked the Boyz about this as they were both serving in Congress at that time.

About that.
A few thoughts on Blinken's China trip. π
Secretary Blinken's trip to Beijing is highlighted in the media with the soundbite about China and the U.S. agreeing to work together against the problem of synthetic opioids.
This is similar to Biden's conversation with Xi when he visited the U.S. late last year.
