Trump said on Tuesday (23 July) that despite Elon Musk’s endorsement of him, he remains opposed to "certain" electric cars. Trump also praised Musk for "never" asking him to "stop" criticizing electric vehicles.
Trump responded favorably to Musk's support in an interview with Fox News, saying, "I love Elon...I tell you, he never called me and said, can you please stop criticizing electric cars.”
Trump has been critical of the Biden administration's electric vehicle subsidy policy and has said that if he wins the election, he will end the mandate to promote electric vehicles.
The Biden-Harris administration's big goal is to halve U.S. greenhouse gas emissions within ten years. To achieve this goal, the Biden administration will promote more people to use electric vehicles through subsidies such as tax incentives for purchasing electric vehicles. The Biden administration wants electric vehicles to account for half of new car sales by 2030.
Musk said that Trump's elimination of electric vehicle subsidies will harm other automakers far more than Tesla.
According to Reuters, Musk said on a conference call after the release of the earnings report, "This will be devastating to our competitors and will hurt Tesla slightly, but in the long run, I think This may help Tesla."
Musk said that Tesla is an artificial intelligence company focusing on autonomous driving technology, so any cancellation of subsidies by Trump will have little impact on Tesla.
Musk endorsed Trump last week, shortly after the former president survived an assassination attempt.
In an interview with conservative commentator Jordan Peterson on Tuesday, Musk denied previous media reports that he had pledged to donate $45 million a month to Trump. He said that the news was untrue and that the actual donation amount " Much lower."
Tesla has suspended plans to build a factory in Mexico and will re-evaluate investing in and building a factory in Mexico after the U.S. presidential election.
"Trump has said he will impose high tariffs on cars produced in Mexico, so it doesn't make sense to invest in Mexico," Musk said.
Trump reiterated his support for gas-powered vehicles at last week's Republican convention and pledged to Rust Belt auto workers to bring jobs back to the United States, particularly to Michigan. It is a key battleground state in November's presidential election, one that Trump won in 2016 but lost in 2020.

The mystery of Trump’s assassination: 3 major coincidences and 4 major doubts
An hour after the gunman was killed, strange footage appeared on the rooftop video
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) recently shared a new body-worn camera video on his At 7:08 pm on the 13th, the photographer was a police officer. He recorded that after the gunman Crooks was shot to death, he immediately climbed onto the roof and talked with an investigator in a suit (suspected Secret Service agent).
The conversation mainly mentioned that Beaver County snipers had long noticed that Crooks was suspicious and took photos of him and sent them to the command center. The photographer confirmed to the other party that the body on the roof was him.
Also visible in the video is the lower half of Crooks' body and a long trail of blood running along the sloping metal roof. During the conversation, the photographer specifically mentioned, "It was the sniper who sent the original photo. The witnesses saw him get off the bike (bicycle\motorcycle), put down his backpack, and then lost track."
This video certainly further confirms previous media reports that local snipers had long noticed Crooks' anomaly and took photos to report to their superiors, but Crooks was not subject to any effective interrogation. However, what is really eye-catching is a shot of the scene that was accidentally captured in the video. In this picture, it is very clear that the AR15 rifle used by Crooks was at least 3 meters away from his body. place.
The big red circle at the bottom of this video screenshot is Crooks' body, and we can see long blood stains at his feet. The small red circle above is Crooks' gun. On the left side of his body, we can see that the distance between the two is quite far.
This is very strange, because it can be seen from previous photos of the scene that Crooks maintained a prone shooting position at the moment he was shot to death.
He was shot in the head and killed instantly, so under normal circumstances the gun in his hand would have remained dropped to the right side of his body, or close to his hand but the scene we saw was the gun lying at least 3 meters away on the left side of his body. Isn't this strange?
If Crooks quickly threw the gun several meters away for reasons unknown to us after shooting, why did he do this? We all know that he also had a large amount of ammunition and bombs in his car, and even a bulletproof vest. These all indicate that he may have planned to carry out a massacre, or planned to return to the car to continue to retrieve bullets. If so, why did he throw away the life-saving gun and then crawl sideways for such a distance? In my opinion, this action makes no sense unless the gun was moved this far by law enforcement, but I don't see any sense in doing so since this was only about an hour after the assassination. , under normal circumstances, the police must immediately protect the scene as it is, waiting for the FBI to conduct on-site investigation procedures.
Is there really a second gunman?
This is the biggest question in the latest developments of the Sichuan case. The second biggest question comes from the BIKE mentioned by the police in the video just now. The BIKE here may refer to the bicycle used by Crooks. This information was first exclusively disclosed by the New York Post, saying that Crooks once rode a bicycle around the rally site, possibly observing the entire venue.
But the latest information shows that at the door of the building where Crooks climbed onto the roof, it was discovered that the door was open when the assassination occurred, and a Harley motorcycle was parked in the parking lot at the door.
This information was corroborated by two witnesses. The pair confirmed in an interview with That Surprise Witness TV YouTube channel that they saw a man park his Harley in the parking lot of the building where the gunshots were allegedly heard and then enter the building! The man, wearing a yellow "Don't Tread on Me" flag, entered the building before shots rang out. So they believe the gunfire didn't come from the roof, but probably from inside the building.
This of course raises the question, is there really a second gunman? Why is the door of a building that is supposed to be blocked open? Objectively speaking, this is only indirect testimony and it is difficult to confirm the existence of a second gunman. However, Crooks kept a large amount of ammunition and a bulletproof vest in the car, and also installed two bombs, showing that he seemed to have Some kind of confidence that after carrying out the assassination, he retreated fully into his car and continued the shootout with the police. Does this mean that he has received some kind of promise that someone will cover his safe escape from the rooftop where he was assassinated?

Police left their second-floor vantage point to search for Crooks
The third latest suspicion comes from two official information. The first was that Senator Hawley posted on the X platform, saying that a whistleblower told him that on the day of the Trump rally, law enforcement officers were actually stationed on the roof of the building where the gunman was located, but later gave up due to the hot weather. They also said law enforcement officers were supposed to be patrolling the building but chose to stay indoors.
The second piece of information came from Colonel Parris, the Pennsylvania State Police Superintendent, who testified at the hearing yesterday that after identifying Crooks as a suspicious person, two men stationed on the second floor of the AGR (American Glass Research Corporation) building Butler Emergency Services Unit (ESU) officers left their posts. Why leave? The Sheriff said to track down Crooks.
This sounds very dramatic. The police left the commanding heights on the second floor to search for Crooks. As a result, at this moment, Crooks successfully climbed to the top of the building from under the nose of the commanding window and shot. Is it purely a coincidence that Crooks is so lucky, or is it purely an arrangement that someone informed him that he can now safely climb the stairs?
How did the command center handle the report after receiving it?
The fourth major doubt still comes from the testimony of Pennsylvania Sheriff Paris. We have repeatedly mentioned a major focus before, which is that people from more than one law enforcement unit noticed Crooks’ anomalies at least three times and reported them to the command center. , and took at least 3 photos of him, but I still don’t know how the command center handled these reports.
Sheriff Parris gave the first relatively formal explanation yesterday, saying members of the Butler emergency services team became concerned when they saw Crooks using a rangefinder and decided to contact the command center, which is overseen by the Secret Service. . A Pennsylvania State Police officer in the command center received the information via phone call and text message, relayed the message to the Secret Service and was given a number to follow up on.
Of course, lawmakers immediately pressed Parris during the hearing if he knew what the Secret Service contact did after Crooks' photo was sent to that number. Parris responded, "I don't know."
Obviously, the duty of the local police is to report any abnormal situations discovered in a timely manner. As for the measures taken by the Secret Service after receiving the report, they have no right to interfere. Therefore, we still don’t have an answer to this focal question, because this answer can only be answered by the Secret Service. For example, how did the Secret Service assess Crooks’ threat level? Why didn't the Secret Service communicate the threat assessment through formal channels, such as digital broadcasts, and whether that text message was taken effectively, among other things.
Paris also provided an important piece of information, which is a question that the Secret Service Director has refused to answer during the hearing, which is that the gunman Crooks fired eight shots at the Trump campaign rally before he was killed. Law enforcement officers found his body Eight shell casings were found nearby, and Crooks remained on the roof for a total of about three minutes.
One piece of information was also confirmed at the hearing: Two days before the rally, on July 11, a local police officer who participated in the inspection reported to Parris that he found that the roof where Crooks was later found a possible safety hazard. At that time, Secret Service agents assured the commander that Butler's ESU would be in charge of the area.
Three incredible coincidences. How did the Secret Service gain full control?
Therefore, based on the above information, we see three incredible coincidences: at least one police officer was originally stationed on the roof where the assassination occurred, but the police officer left the roof because the weather was too hot; the second biggest coincidence is that the police stationed on the roof was The snipers in the room on the second floor behind should be much cooler, but they happened to leave their posts to search for Crooks. In this way, almost as if by divine help, Crooks avoided all security measures and successfully climbed onto the roof. Even after being discovered by the public, he still got 2 minutes of shooting time; and the command center happened to There was something wrong with the transmission of information. The information about the threat of Crooks was not successfully conveyed to the agents around Trump. As a result, Trump went on stage to speak normally without being aware of it, and was perfectly exposed to Crooks. This is the third greatest coincidence among sights.
We have said many times that once a coincidence is a coincidence, if there are too many coincidences, it may not be a coincidence. In my opinion, the real core of the problem still lies in the command center, because many local law enforcement agencies have made it clear that all on-site security arrangements, personnel dispatch, action command, etc. are under the full command of the Secret Service.
There was only a very brief window for Crooks to successfully climb onto the roof after Trump took office. On the surface, it seems that various combinations of circumstances created such a window period for Crooks. So in my opinion, this is either a divine arrangement or a human arrangement.

Tongji Hospital supports Li Zhanfei. How is artificial "brain death" created?
In June 2024, the incident of "Devil Doctor" Li Zhanfei once became popular on the Internet. The topic of killing people and harvesting organs on demand has repeatedly impacted the public's psychological bottom line. On 22 July 2024, Wuhan Tongji Hospital finally officially responds.
According to a report by the Chinese media Southern Metropolis Daily, on 22 July 2024, Wuhan Tongji Hospital issued a statement saying that a statement online about "a doctor from Wuhan Tongji Hospital coercing people into donating organs" had been "verified and verified by relevant departments as false information." ”. "We reserve the right to pursue legal liability" against those who spread the news.
The "coerced organ donation" incident mentioned here refers to the sensational incident in June this year. At that time, a woman took a video and accused Li Zhanfei of committing organ murder, saying that her son was killed without any tests. Doctors declared him brain dead, but he was later taken off the ventilator and died. After her child was determined to be brain dead, the hospital immediately persuaded the family to donate the child's organs, but the family refused. When the family members questioned the cause of the child's death, the hospital falsified electrocardiograms, funeral home information, and even the transcripts made to the National Health Commission's law enforcement brigade.
Later, the mother angrily scolded Li Zhanfei in person: "You are all deliberately and evilly plotting. Why did you say that my child is brain dead? Brain death is the standard for living organ donation. It's so vicious!"
Wuhan Tongji Hospital is the hardest hit area for live organ harvesting and has long been listed as a key institution on the blacklist by Overseas Investigation International. Li Zhanfei lied about harvesting organs from patients who were brain-dead. Last year, Long Xingyu from the University of Geosciences sprained his left knee and became brain-dead. In July this year, "Ordering lungs is faster than ordering takeout." All illustrate an extremely terrifying reality. The technology of big data networking and the serious destruction of the privacy of blood sample testing in China have led to the green channel for organ harvesting originally established to persecute Falun Gong practitioners in the past, and it has been rapidly strengthened and expanded into an efficient and precise killing machine.
The core of this killing machine is brain death. We have said before that CCP China has never legislated to recognize the legality of the brain death standard, so from a legal perspective, China still adopts the cardiac death standard. Any practice of harvesting organs on the grounds of brain death is illegal and is intentional killing.
Secondly, since brain death is not recognized by legislation, there is no unified identification standard. If there were evil doctors like Li Zhanfei, and if organ harvesting had become a major source of revenue for some hospitals, it would be easy to create artificial brain death.
Let’s give an example: No matter what the cause of a person's illness is on the operating table, even if he just sprain his knee like Long Xingyu, as long as you add a little anesthetic during the anesthesia, for example, if the cerebral blood oxygen cells reach 50% to 60%, he may become unconscious. If additional anesthesia is added and cerebral blood oxygen cells drop to 20% to 30%, you will enter a deep coma, brain cells will die, causing irreversible damage, and all deep reflexes in the cerebral cortex will disappear, basically approaching brain death.
At this time, Li Zhanfei and others can tell people with regret that the patient is brain dead and there is no way to save him. You should let the patient make greater contributions to society.
To create such brain death, in this huge profit chain, one only needs to get a doctor and an anesthesiologist. Many people may still find it unbelievable. Three days ago on the 21st, the documentary "State-Owned Organs", which took seven years to complete and won multiple international film awards, had its premiere in Kaohsiung. In this documentary, for the first time, a doctor Zheng Zhi who testified with his real name appeared. He was once one of the executors of organ harvesting. He burst into tears and told in a trembling voice how he was ordered to harvest an 18-year-old. He said that the young man was still alive and his eyes were looking at him like this, which made him collapse on the spot and yell, "I can't do it."
In general, CCP's practices of live organ transplants suggest that the words "Hell is empty and the devil is in the world" often said on the Internet are not a description, but a real and cruel reality.
Helicopter delivers fresh lungs, revealing a corner of the CCP’s organ transplant shady story
Image : A few days ago, Shenzhen media reported that a helicopter sent organs for transplantation by a 73-year-old patient, Lao Yang. Netizens questioned the source of the organs, demanded that Lao Yang's identity be disclosed, and reminded them of the Hu Xingyu incident. After the official response, netizens continued to question. (Internet screenshot)
According to Shenzhen News Network, in the morning of 14 July 2024, Shenzhen completed the first mission of transporting living organs and lungs by helicopter. At 9.37 am, it was transported from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhongshan, Guangdong. After obtaining the donor lungs, it took only 33 minutes to arrive directly at Shenzhen People's Hospital, creating the "Shenzhen speed" of organ transfer. 73-year-old organ transplant patient Lao Yang obtained an ideal lung donor.

Sceptics over the swift transplants of fresh lungs
Seeing this, many netizens have already exclaimed: "Who provided such fresh lung organs? Is that person still alive? How old is he? Why was the lung removed?" "I saw three sentences on the Internet: "Human organs are state-owned; I ordered takeout, and it didn't arrive for a long time; someone ordered a lung, and it arrived in 33 minutes." "Who is Lao Yang?"
How terrifying, how incredible. However, the subsequent part of the story is even more horrifying because the report stated that Shenzhen People's Hospital was about to perform two double lung transplants at that time. One of them was a donor lung transported by helicopter from Guangzhou, while the other lung source came from Shenzhen.
Two donors had their lungs removed at the same time and arrived at the operating room at the same time. How was it possible to do this with such precision and coincidence?
Wang Guangsuo, director of the Thoracic Surgery Department of Shenzhen People's Hospital, said: "Two operations were performed at the same time, marking another milestone in our lung transplant technology." However, the article revealed that since the hospital obtained the national lung transplant qualification in 2023, this It was only the 8th and 9th surgeries they had done.

Shenzhen hospital boasts ability to obtain high-quality lung donors
Apparently, just seven operations were followed by two lung transplants at the same time. In the name of challenging technical capabilities, the hospital took the opportunity to promote Shenzhen People's Hospital's organ transplant capabilities, including not only lung transplants, which are difficult surgeries, but also the ability to obtain high-quality lung donors. As the national economy declines and all industries experience depression, it seems that only the organ transplant industry is continuously expanding and growing in reverse.
Such a growth trend is not uncommon. For example: On 27 July 2023, Hu Yang, deputy chief physician of the Department of Respiratory Medicine at Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, published on Weibo titled "Three lung transplants a day, and donated lungs are transported by helicopter." , the freshness of the lungs determines the therapeutic effect," the article stated, "In the first half of this year, the hospital has performed more than 60 lung transplants."

CCP China's first lung transplant surgeon performed more than 300 live transplants in 2023
Chen Jingyu, who is called "China's first lung transplant surgeon" by the CCP, posted on Weibo in February this year: "In 2023, there will be 205 lung transplants in Wuxi and 165 lung transplants in Hangzhou. In addition to consultation surgeries across the country, she has been running around on airplanes and high-speed trains. She said, "this is how my life is, doing what I like, being tired and happy."
Chen Jingyu performed 370 lung transplants in Wuxi and Hangzhou alone within one year, averaging one case a day. Where did these lungs come from? Lungs and hearts are large organs of the human body. After being removed, the donor will only die and there is absolutely no possibility of survival. Behind this huge number is the chilling shady story of organ transplantation.

Cases of other live lung transplants that are unbelivable in CCP China
The data disclosed by Hu Yang showed that Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital performed more than 60 lung transplants in half a year. This is only the data of one hospital. How many hospitals are there in the country? How many lung transplants will be done? And how many donated lungs are needed across the country? Where did they all come from?
On 2 April 2024, the Central South University News website mentioned in the article "Central South University Second Xiangya Hospital Air Trans-Provincial Trans-Provincial Transshipment of Donated Organs" that "Ms. Li, 65, in Changsha, suffered from respiratory failure due to an acute exacerbation of interstitial pneumonia. The only way to the treatment that saved her life was a lung transplant. The patient had been relying on ECMO to maintain her life for 16 days, and finally found a suitable lung in Yichang, Hubei."
On 2 July 2021, the health industry published an article "There is no chance, give up, your father's lungs are like loofah shells, and he will not even survive the next second." The article revealed that the patient, Lao Yang, fell ill on 19 May and suffered secondary complications. He suffered from respiratory failure and was transferred from the Longquan Branch of Zhejiang Second Hospital to Zhejiang Second Hospital. Chen Jingyu performed a rescue lung transplant on him. On 21 May, a donor organ was found and the surgery was performed on 22 May.
On 5 December 2021 a Xingtai girl was deceived by her brother-in-law into drinking the highly toxic paraquat in the name of cold medicine. She underwent a lung transplant on 7 January 2022. According to the attending physician Chen Jingyu, patients drank paraquat initially. The focus of treatment is to remove toxins from the body, and a double lung transplant will be performed in about a month. The time was also stuck very coincidentally. Exactly one month later, the girl's double lung transplant was completed.
In these cases, lung donors could be matched in as little as 3 days and as long as one month. This is unimaginable abroad. In the United States, where organ transplantation is the most developed in the world, the waiting time for a lung transplant is usually two to three years. So in CCP China, what kind of mechanism can ensure that hospitals can obtain matching organs in a very short time?

U.S. Congress passes Falun Gong Protection Act
On 25 June 2024, the U.S. Congress passed the Protection Act, requiring the United States to stop the Chinese Communist Party’s state-sponsored organ harvesting campaign from living Falun Gong practitioners and other prisoners of conscience. The bill states that “reliable evidence shows that Falun Gong practitioners are subjected to large-scale organ harvesting and have become specific targets of this barbaric act”; “On June 14, 2021, United Nations human rights experts issued a joint statement on the "Extremely alarmed by reports of organ harvesting from ethnic minorities including Falun Gong practitioners, Uyghurs, Tibetans, Muslims and Christians imprisoned in China."
According to a report published by the overseas independent organization WOIPFG on 27 September 2014, more than 800 hospitals and medical personnel in mainland China suspected of participating in harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners were included in the investigation list, and Jiangsu Province People's Hospital of Wuxi and its doctor Chen Jingyu are on the list.
The Chinese Communist Party began to suppress Falun Gong in 1999, and thus began the "organ harvesting" of Falun Gong groups. When the black industry of organ transplantation, which can bring huge profits, becomes more and more powerful, everyone living in China feels unsafe, especially the young people who have the best "organ quality".

CCP's live harvesting is likely to overthrow CCP regime
Therefore, whenever the Chinese Communist Party’s official media boasts about the use of helicopters to transport organs and the smooth and fast green channel for organs at the airport, more and more people become more disgusted and fearful. At the same time, it also triggers more reflection and questioning, demanding open and transparent organ transplantation. The call for relevant information is getting louder and louder, and the people are becoming more awake. What is encouraging is that the CCP’s lies-covered secrets of live harvesting are being torn apart and exposed by people from all walks of life at home and abroad. The CCP’s live harvesting is being suppressed around the world. It is foreseeable that the CCP’s crime of live harvesting is likely to be the last domino that overthrows the CCP’s evil regime.

Israeli Prime Minister’s speech at the American Congress, rescued mixed-race Israeli girl attended
Reporter : Lin Yan / Editor : Ye Ziwei / https://www.epochtimes.com/b5/24/7/24/n14297902.htm / Image : Noa Argamani, 26, is hugged by a relative at Sheba Tel-HaShomer Medical Center after being rescued by Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip on 8 June 2024. (Handout / Israeli Army / AFP)
On Wednesday (24 July 2024), Noah Algamani, a Chinese-Israeli woman who was kidnapped by Hamas for several months and rescued last month (Noa Argamani) attended the U.S. Congress event.
Noah was one of the released Israeli hostages. She was kidnapped by Hamas in the terrorist attack on 7 October 2023, and the video of her being taken away spread throughout the international community.
On Wednesday afternoon, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was invited to address a joint session of Congress in the United States and mentioned the plight of Noah's family. Noah, who was sitting in the gallery, received sustained applause and a standing ovation from the lawmakers present.
Noah was rescued by Israeli troops on 8 June 2024. She stood in the gallery of the House of Representatives chamber with a smile and clasped her hands. Members and guests paid tribute to this young woman who remained strong despite the ordeal. Netanyahu's wife Sara hugged her.
Netanyahu recounted the details of Noah's kidnapping, describing "Noah's despairing look" as militants put her on a motorcycle and took her into the Gaza Strip.
"A few months ago, I met Noah's mother, Liora. She was dying of cancer. She said to me, 'Prime Minister, I have one more wish. I want to do it one last time before I die. Hugs to my daughter Noah."
Netanyahu went on to describe the "thrilling commando rescue operation" that freed Noah and three other Israeli hostages. The Prime Minister's description of the operation again drew applause.
"I think this is one of the most touching things," Netanyahu continued. "When Noah is reunited with her mother Leora, her mother's last wish comes true."
Leola died of brain cancer three weeks after Noah was rescued.
Last October, when Hamas militants launched attacks into Israel and kidnapped hostages, Noah was attending the Nova Music Festival in southern Israel. In the days and weeks that followed, a short video of her abduction circulated widely on social media platforms, drawing international attention to the hostage.
She spent her 26th birthday in captivity.
Noah's boyfriend Avinatan Or was also kidnapped. He is believed to remain in Gaza along with about 100 hostages.
The Israeli leader addressed the US Congress for the first time since the Hamas terror attacks. In his speech, he compared the October 7 terrorist attacks to Pearl Harbour and 9/11. Netanyahu is currently facing pressure at home and abroad to call for a ceasefire with Hamas.
Hamas and other militants took about 247 hostages in the October 7 attack, which killed about 1,200 people. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, Israeli military operations in Gaza have killed more than 39,000 people, including 210 people who died during the operation to rescue Noah.
