Expensive joke
Titans square off
Fight with Amazon
Elon Musk played an expensive April Fools joke by posing drunk with a bankrupt sign as he slumped against a Tesla. No one thought it was funny. Analysts say the firm is struggling and investors wiped out $5 billion in value or five percent off the value of the stock. But the headline act in Monday’s bloodletting on Wall and Bay was fear of a trade war between China and the US. Both sides are talking tough. And finally a searing attack from Donald Trump on Amazon for its deal with the US Postal Service. Trump is determined to make the service profitable. The Americans have been chicken about the cost of snail mail. First class delivery in US costs 50 cents compared to $1 in Canada.
