- Tesla has announced aggressive price cuts in China and Germany, shortly after reducing prices in the United States, as the world’s largest maker of electric vehicles (EV) faces declining sales and growing competition in major markets.
- The prices of four models were slashed in China by 14,000 yuan ($1,932), while in Germany, the price of the Model 3 rear-wheel drive was lowered by 2,000 euros ($2,132).

Competitors like BYD and XPeng are also offering subsidies and lowering prices to attract buyers in the EV market, posing challenges to Tesla's market dominance.

Quick Glance: Yankees' Aaron Boone Ejected for Fan-Heckling of MLB Umpire in Unusual Incident: 'I Don't Care Who Said It'
- Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected early in the game against the A's at Yankee Stadium after a fan yelled something. This marked his 35th career ejection, with a rather unusual reason this time.

- Although Wendelstedt misinterpreted the situation and Boone was innocent, the ejection remained. Nevertheless, the whole incident was incredibly entertaining, and Boone's 35 ejections in a short span of time is quite an impressive feat.

Quick Glance: Trump on Verge of $1 Billion Win with Truth Social
- Former President Donald Trump is on the verge of scoring a major financial bonanza, at least on paper. If Trump Media & Technology Group's share price doesn't dramatically drop before Tuesday's closing bell, Trump is set to receive another 36 million shares as the owner of Truth Social.
- Even though Trump Media is losing money and Truth Social is very tiny, the new shares Trump is poised to receive would be valued at about $1.3 billion at current prices. Trump's net worth has been fluctuating significantly since his social media company went public last month.
- While Trump Media's share price has been halved since peaking on March 27, it still trades comfortably above levels that would trigger specific performance provisions in the merger agreement.
- Trump Media can issue additional shares to pre-merger shareholders like the former president if the dollar volume-weighted average price equals or exceeds $12.50 for any 20 trading days within any 30-day period starting on March 25.
