U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (Republican – Louisiana) said on Tuesday that the NFL's selection of Puerto Rican singer and songwriter Bad Bunny as the headliner for the Super Bowl halftime show in February was a "bad decision." NFL Faces Backlash Over Bad Bunny Selection When asked about the controversial selection, Johnson told a reporter, "I didn't even know who Bad Bunny was, but it seems like a very bad decision to me."

Gold soared past the historic $4,000-per-ounce mark on Tuesday, fueled by anxious investors seeking safety amid mounting political, economic, and geopolitical turmoil. The milestone marks the first time in history the precious metal has breached this level, capping a dramatic year in which its price has surged more than 50% — its strongest performance since the 1970s. $4,000 Gold Often viewed as a haven during times of crisis, gold is on track for its best year since 1979, when prices more than doubled amid high inflation, a weakening dollar, and tensions in the Middle East.

Tesla (TSLA) shares fell in Tuesday morning trading after an initial surge fueled by cryptic social media teasers gave way to a less-than-thrilling product reveal: a stripped-down and more affordable version of the company’s popular Model Y SUV . Tesla Stock Slides The electric vehicle maker’s stock had rallied more than 5.4% by Monday’s close after Tesla posted a series of mysterious GIFs on X (formerly Twitter) over the weekend. The posts — featuring a spinning Tesla logo with the date “10/7” and headlights cutting through smoke — sparked speculation about a major new launch.

According to a Bloomberg report , the pared-down version is designed to offset the loss of up to $7,500 in federal tax credits . This marks T...
