USA At Risk: Elon Musk's empire on Shaky Ground
Elon Musk’s vast business empire is beginning to show signs of strain as his falling-out with former ally Donald Trump deepens, casting uncertainty over the future of Tesla, SpaceX, and other ventures under his control. While Musk remains one of the wealthiest people on the planet, his high-profile break with the the president has triggered a market reaction that threatens both investor confidence and future government support. Tesla shares slid 6.8% on Monday, continuing a sharp downward trend that began when Musk publicly criticized Republican budget plans last month. That public rupture evolved into a wider political move when Musk announced he would launch a new political movement—the America Party—with ambitions to influence the 2026 House and Senate elections. Since the beginning of June, Tesla stock has lost about 14% of its value, amounting to more than $100 billion in lost shareholder wealth. Musk himself has seen his personal fortune shrink by nearly $20 billion on paper. The deterioration of Musk’s relationship with Trump could prove costly. As the Republican Party controls all three branches of government, Musk’s businesses now face political headwinds. Investors who once expected Tesla to benefit from favorable regulatory decisions and continued federal contracts for SpaceX are being forced to reconsider. “While the opportunity is outsized, the risks are very significant as well,” wrote Ivana Delevska, founder of Spear Invest, who recently divested from Tesla amid the growing uncertainty. “While the reward potential is clearly here, the risks are significant as well.” The timing of this political drama is especially unfortunate for Tesla. The company began launching its robotaxi fleet in Austin last month, a pivotal development Musk has touted as central to Tesla’s long-term success. However, the company is also losing ground to global competitors like Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD, which is gaining traction across both China and Europe. In the most recent quarter, Tesla’s deliveries fell nearly 14%, a drop partially attributed to the ongoing backlash surrounding Musk’s political forays. SpaceX, meanwhile, is preparing for a potential uncrewed mission to Mars in 2026, an effort that requires consistent focus and stable government relations—both of which could be jeopardized by Musk’s renewed political engagement. William Blair analyst Jed Dorsheimer captured growing investor frustration in a recent research note: “We expect that investors are growing tired of the distraction at a point when the business needs Musk's attention the most and only see downside from his dip back into politics.” Despite recent losses, Musk's wealth remains staggering. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, he was still worth around $361 billion as of Monday, putting him more than $100 billion ahead of the next richest person, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg. There are also questions about how Musk’s political focus will be received internally. While Tesla’s board has largely supported Musk without reservation, the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this year that the company had quietly begun a process to potentially find a successor CEO. Musk and Tesla chair Robyn Denholm both denied the report. At his privately held companies like SpaceX and xAI, Musk maintains more direct control and closer investor relationships. These firms are also insulated from the fluctuations of public markets and the consumer scrutiny Tesla regularly faces. Still, the overall sentiment from investors is clear. “We would prefer this effort to be channeled towards the robotaxi rollout at this critical juncture,” Dorsheimer added, summing up a mood of growing impatience with Musk's political diversions at a time when his companies require his full attention.

UK £771 Million and Counting: Macron Under Fire Over Small Boat Crossings at UK Visit
£771 Million and Counting: Macron Under Fire Over Small Boat Crossings at UK Visit French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in Britain amid intensifying scrutiny over his country’s failure to stem the tide of illegal small boat crossings in the English Channel, despite the UK handing France more than £770 million since 2010 to tackle the problem. With 2,599 migrants arriving in small boats just last week, crossings so far in 2025 are up 56 percent compared to the same period last year. In total, 172,255 migrants have reached British shores since the crisis began in 2018 — all during Macron’s presidency — with the vast majority departing from French beaches. Despite the surge, only 4 percent of those arriving have been deported. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp criticised the French government's efforts, saying, “We’ve paid France £771 million and they’ve stopped very few migrants on land and none at sea. This is in contrast to Belgium where embarkations have dropped 90 percent because they do intercept at sea. We should be asking France for a refund.” President Macron and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer are expected to hold a bilateral summit on Thursday as part of Macron’s three-day state visit, which begins Tuesday. While Downing Street has not confirmed whether further funding will be pledged, a spokesperson stated that the government “will only ever provide funding that delivers for the priorities of the British public.” New measures could be announced during the summit, including allowing French gendarmes to intercept migrant boats after they’ve entered the water — a move long resisted by France. Additional proposals may include deploying floating barriers across French rivers and canals to prevent traffickers from launching so-called “taxi boats” into the Channel. A recent report from the House of Commons Library revealed that the UK has provided £657 million to France since 2018 to support border security, in addition to £114 million given between 2014 and 2018. The total exceeds £770 million over 12 years, with little transparency on how the money has been used. The report noted, “There is little publicly available information about how funding is spent and monitored. UK authorities have refused Freedom of Information requests seeking detailed information.” Previous revelations have shown that British money funded a range of purchases by French police — not just on the Channel but also on the French-Italian border. These included helicopters, quad bikes, e-scooters, drones, and even microwaves, car vacuums, and support for a horse brigade in the Somme Bay. Tony Smith, former director general of UK Border Force, was blunt in his assessment: “Throwing more money at it – when the track record is so poor – is not a good investment. There is a lot of evidence it isn’t really working despite the money we have given them. Over time, that £800 million we have spent has been a net loss.” Smith proposed a performance-based model: “If more money is to be given to the French it should be a performance-related system, so if there is a reduction in the numbers crossing they get a percentage of the money that we would have otherwise spent on asylum support.” He also questioned France’s lack of proactive intervention. “My view is there’s a lot more the French could be doing. They need to step up their game considerably. I don’t understand why they can’t find the dinghies before they set off, given they have drone and satellite surveillance. Until now the French have never been prepared to get their feet wet, so if interventions at sea now go ahead, that could make a difference.” Smith further criticised the Labour government’s decision to cancel the Conservative-initiated Rwanda asylum scheme, calling it a “grave error” just as it was about to be launched. Nigel Farage joined the chorus of criticism, describing the French approach as an “insult” and calling on the Prime Minister to consider banning French trawlers from British fishing waters unless Macron demonstrates significant progress in stopping the crossings. With British patience wearing thin and public anger mounting, Macron’s visit is expected to be dominated not by pageantry, but by pressure — and demands for answers on where hundreds of millions in UK taxpayer money has gone.

USA Measles Resurgence in the U.S. Reaches 33-Year High Amid Vaccine Hesitancy
Measles Resurgence in the U.S. Reaches 33-Year High Amid Vaccine Hesitancy The United States is grappling with its worst measles outbreak in over three decades, as nearly 1,300 confirmed infections have been reported across the country, marking a dangerous reversal in public health progress against a disease once considered eliminated. According to new data released by Johns Hopkins University, measles cases have now been confirmed in 38 states and the District of Columbia. The illness has claimed at least three lives and hospitalized 155 people. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revealed that 92% of the infected were either unvaccinated or had unknown vaccination status, highlighting a growing vulnerability to a disease that is both highly contagious and preventable. Texas has emerged as the epicenter of the outbreak, accounting for more than 700 cases. Kansas and New Mexico have also reported dozens of infections. Health officials have noted that the virus is spreading most rapidly in communities with lower vaccination rates, such as some Mennonite populations in Texas who traditionally reject modern medical practices. The rising case count comes amid a broader trend of increasing vaccine skepticism in the United States and globally. This shift has been fueled in part by political figures and public personalities who have questioned vaccine safety, despite overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary. Among them is Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who previously downplayed the severity of measles outbreaks and disseminated misinformation regarding childhood vaccines. However, as the 2025 outbreak worsened, Kennedy reversed course and publicly endorsed the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. In a post on X, he acknowledged that the MMR shot is “the most effective way to prevent the spread of measles.” The CDC reports that the current outbreak has now surpassed the 2019 case count of 1,274 confirmed infections, reaching 1,277 as of Friday. This makes it the worst outbreak since 1990, when nearly 28,000 cases were recorded. At that time, low vaccination rates were also to blame. However, following concerted public health efforts and widespread immunization campaigns, measles was declared eliminated in the U.S. around the year 2000. That status is now at risk. Public health experts warn that if the virus continues to spread at the current pace for over a year, the U.S. could lose its measles elimination designation. "It’s a reminder of how fragile public health victories can be when vaccination rates decline," one CDC official noted. Despite the grim numbers, the outbreak has also led to a renewed push for immunization. In Texas, where the outbreak is most severe, more than 173,000 measles vaccine doses were administered between January 1 and March 16, an increase from 158,000 during the same period last year. The MMR vaccine remains the cornerstone of measles prevention. It is 97% effective and provides protection against three dangerous viruses: measles, mumps, and rubella. Measles, in particular, can cause severe complications such as pneumonia, encephalitis (brain swelling), and death. Other countries are also facing similar challenges. The UK recorded its highest number of confirmed measles cases since 2012 last year, totaling nearly 3,000, while 529 new cases have been reported in England in 2025 alone. In Canada, over 3,000 cases have been documented this year, with the provinces of Ontario and Alberta hardest hit. The global surge underscores the importance of maintaining high vaccination coverage. As U.S. health officials race to contain the outbreak, they are emphasizing a simple but critical message: vaccines save lives. Adapted by ASEAN Now from BBC 2025-07-09
