Elon Musk acknowledged that his job as head of President Donald Trump’s effort to cut the size of government is “costing me a lot” when it comes to his other big job, as CEO of Tesla Inc. Political backlash from Musk’s recent political forays in the US and around the world have weighed on Tesla at home and abroad. “It’s costing me a lot to be in this job,” Musk said at a town hall event in Wisconsin, noting some of his political opponents have highlighted the stock’s retreat. “What they’re trying to do is put massive pressure on me, and Tesla I guess, to you know, I don’t know, stop doing this,” Musk said. “My Tesla stock and the stock of everyone who holds Tesla has gone, went roughly in half. I mean it’s a big deal.” Tesla shares rose to a record high in the month after Trump was elected, but have dropped 45% since their Dec. 17 peak. While he remains the world’s richest man, Musk’s own personal wealth has declined by more than $100 billion this year, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. “Long term I think Tesla stock’s going to do fine, so maybe it’s a buying opportunity,” Musk said.

Usha Vance has mostly followed Melania Trump's lead and stayed silent on the campaign trail since JD Vance was announced as Donald Trump's running mate at the Republican National Convention more than a month ago. She makes frequent appearances at her husband's campaign events; even though he is a vice presidential candidate, it would be easy to miss them if you weren't paying close attention. Taylor Van Kirk, a spokesman for Senator Vance, responded to the Daily Beast when asked about Usha's appearances and said that she is actually with her husband on the trail today and has appeared at multiple events on the campaign trail with him. However, the attorney hasn't adopted the same level of involvement that Gwen, the wife of Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, has. While the Democrat has been the talk of fundraisers, slamming the Republican ticket with her teacher's voice, Vance's appearances have mainly consisted of greetings and pleasantries.

Usha Chilukuri Vance loves her «meat and potatoes» husband, JD Vance. She explained to a rapt Republican National Convention audience how their vice-presidential candidate adapted to her vegetarian diet and even learned to cook Indian food from her immigrant mother. That image of her white, Christian husband making the spicy cuisine of her parents' native state in South India is atypical for the leaders of a party whose members are still largely white and Christian. Her presence at the RNC sparked enthusiasm on social media among some Indian American conservatives, particularly Hindu Americans, although most Indian Americans identify as Democrats. But for all Usha Vance shared about their identity-blending marriage in her speech last month in Milwaukee, which was a little over four minutes, she made no mention of her Hindu upbringing or her personal faith and their interfaith relationship — biographical details that have exposed her to online vitriol and hate.

Kamala Harris unexpectedly departed for Milwaukee. The move, seen by some as a deliberate snub, raised eyebrows, especially given the Obamas’ delayed endorsement of Harris. Instead of attending the Obamas' speeches, Harris opted to address a nearly full arena in Milwaukee and hold a DNC watch party with her rally attendees, as per the reports of the New York Post. In Milwaukee, Democratic organizer Jaliah Jefferson informed the crowd at Fiserv Forum that they would be featured live as part of the DNC broadcast. Jefferson encouraged the audience to bring energy, emphasizing that the nation needed to see Wisconsin standing behind Harris. The enthusiastic crowd, energized by DJ Shawna, responded eagerly, especially those from Illinois who cheered loudly when acknowledged.

Kamala Harris surpassed Donald Trump in popularity and she took a lead in most of the opinion polls held since Joe Biden pulled out endorsing her last month, the advisers and top aides of the Republican candidates are upset with his public appearances, reports 'The Beast'. The Trump campaign team is getting increasingly anxious about his public meetings that are going from bad to worse. The aides who were very happy after Donald Trump emerged as a hero after the failed assassination attempt at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee are now upset. The main change in his behavior is his increasing anger perhaps due to the Democrats’ resurgence that came out first when he used derogatory words against Kamala Harris. He questioned the Black identity of the first black vice president of the US at a gathering of the National Association of Black Journalists.

Trump was on an unstoppable march, about to return to power, taking over from incumbent Joe Biden, who looked weak and hesitant. Then, a deranged individual shot at Trump, offering hundreds of memes, including one that said, 'Man shoots, misses Trump, wounds Biden'. For that's what happened. With a halo around him, Trump's return seemed inevitable. In Milwaukee, he spoke of unity and then reinforced divisive tones at the Republican convention. He paraded his vice-presidential nominee James D Vance, with his 'exotic' Indian wife, the Yale-educated Usha Chilkuri. Like her husband, she once hated everything Trump stood for, but was now going to support him.
