We’ve got another classic Elon Musk spat on our hands, this time concerning Ryanair for some reason. Did he not get enough leg room on his last flight or something?

It seems that the public falling out began when the airline’s CEO, Michael O’Leary, said he wouldn’t use Elon’s Starlink for onboard Wi-Fi.

Like… ok? Who cares?

Well, Elon Musk apparently, who’s ego is as fragile as his Cybertrucks and won’t take a slight from Trump, from his girlfriends, from marine divers, and certainly not from Irish airline owners.

Musk threatened to buy the airline and oh god, he’s going to rename it xAir or something lame. He did say he would put someone called Ryan in place as CEO. Hahaha, classic Elon trolling!

Unfortunately/thankfully we won’t have another Twitter situation on our hands since EU airlines have to be majority owned by European citizens. Huh. That’s actually a good rule…

But hold on, just before you get to thinking anyone in this fight actually has any conviction, O’Leary just clapped back by launching a sale dubbed, ‘The Big Idiot Seat Sale’.

Ryanair Elon advert — It’s ok though, they put idiot in quotes so they can’t be sued.

So O’Leary’s spinning this into an advert and Elon’s kicking off in the first place was probably to make headlines and ONCE AGAIN we all got played. God damnit.

And they both know exactly what they’re doing. This all started because the airline Lufthansa announced they would be using Starlink and O’Leary spoke out on Irish radio saying that, “We [would] have to put an aerial antenna on top of the aircraft. It would cost us about $200-250m a year, in other words about an extra dollar for every passenger we fly.”

“We can’t afford those costs. Passengers won’t pay for internet usage… so we’re not putting it on board.”

He then called Musk an idiot who knew zero about aerodynamics.

This is what O’Leary does, court controversy, and he’s finally found his match in Elon Musk who likely won’t drop the spat any time soon, at least not until they’ve both made a tidy profit from this altercation…

You may remember Donald Trump from the Apprentice Movie but did you know he actually became the President? That’s right and his biggest dream that he’s had since lunch time is to own the green land of Greenland.

Since Denmark owns Greenland, Europe doesn’t really want this to happen, but Trump’s on the warpath, tearing up peace treaties and leaving crying Francophiles in his wake.

The latest development is that Trump has leaked a slew of texts between him and European world leaders but wait, he meant to do that?

But this isn’t like that group chat leak that Pete Hegseth did last year (where does the time go?), no, Trump is his own whistleblower here, deliberately sharing the private convos with the world in order to ridicule his supposed allies on the other side of the pond.

You know what, they’re worth a read, here:

From the Norwegian PM to Trump:

Dear Mr President, dear Donald – on the contact across the Atlantic – on Greenland, Gaza, Ukraine – and your tariff announcement yesterday.

You know our position on these issues. But we believe we all should work to take this down and de-escalate – so much is happening around us where we need to stand together.

We are proposing a call with you later today – with both of us or separately – give us a hint of what you prefer! Best – Alex and Jonas

Then Trump’s reply:

Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America.

Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway?

There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States.

The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT

And more recently this text from the French PM Trump:

From president Macron to President Trump

My friend,

We are totally in line on Syria

We can do great things on Iran

I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland

Let us try to build great things :

1) I can set up a G7 meeting after Davos in Paris on Thursday afternoon. I can invite the Ukrainians, the Danish, the Syrians and the Russians in the margins

2) Let us have a dinner together in Paris together on Thursday before you go back to the US

Emmanuel

And the latest leak from the NATO Secretary General to Trump:

Mr. President, dear Donald – what you accomplished in Syria today is incredible. I will use my media engagements in Davos to highlight your work there, in Gaza, and in Ukraine.

I am committed to finding a way forward on Greenland. Can’t wait to see you.

Yours, Mark

…Now we all know that it’s just not the done thing to post your DMs online but it does offer a peek behind the curtain at how politics is actually conducted. Seems weird that leaders will just be texting each other on personal numbers but I guess why not?

Also there’s a fair amount of ass kissing which is embarrassing to see, but I guess they know how to play the Don. Macron seems a bit more blunt and might be a hint of things going forward that Europe might at last start to play hardball with the king of hardball, DJT, hoping he might live up to his TACO moniker.

All I know is that in this global game of chicken, likely we’ll all get squished.

Richest man in the world and all round nice guy, Elon Musk, has come under fire from his baby mama and former political commentator, Ashley St. Clair.

But that’s the end of the story, to explain, let’s go back to the beginning.

Elon’s father Errol, who has been accused multiple times of sexual misconduct and domestic abuse once said that, “The only thing we on Earth for is to reproduce.” And whilst hopefully his father’s other views didn’t rub off, it seems like Elon might have taken that last point to heart.

Elon has fathered at least fourteen different children with multiple women, seemingly operating as a human sperm bank, rarely with the intention of actually raising the children.

One of these women is Ashley St. Clair, a popular rightwing influencer and author of an anti-trans children’s book. She made contact with Musk on Twitter and then became pregnant shortly after.

Ashley and her child have only met Musk for a few hours since (he’s a busy guy) and has publicly fallen out with the billionaire.

Her subsequent falling off of the right wing bandwagon, and denouncement of her previous views along with all things Musk has drawn the ire of Musk’s legion of fans.

And now we get to the present day because Musk’s followers have weaponised X’s controversial porn image generator to sexualise pictures of St. Clair specifically. And that’s just not cool guys.

St. Clair has now sued Musk’s AI company adding to growing political and legal pressure against the new feature which xAI said they have now taken down.

Who knows what’ll come out of St. Clair’s lawsuit but either way, we really are in the darkest timeline, aren’t we?

The national debt just passed $38.5 trillion dollars and it’s gotten some people freaked. Look, a national debt is important to some degree, but America might just be chewing off more than it can chew (so to speak).

In the last three months of 2025, America spent $276 billion on debt interest alone. Meanwhile there’s a housing crisis, inflation is out of control and confidence in government is at an all time low.

But I really didn’t need to tell you all that.

If all of this is manageable and we can slowly ease out of it, it’s fine, but the worry is that some big crunch will occur and we might see another credit crash.

If America can’t find debtors to take on its loans or the debt becomes completely unmanageable, the government might be forced to reduce spending or pump money into the problem which might lead to hyper-inflation of the dollar.

As economist Kurt Couchman explains, in this case the “likelihood of having a recession, if not a severe recession or maybe even a depression, become possibilities.”

“The global, economic instability could translate into some real security risks and even threats to our political systems because of the kinds of politicians that people may respond to if they’re feeling especially desperate. Those are all challenges to the American dream that stem from the growing debt burden.”

Couchman then goes on to explain that beyond reduced spending there might not be a solution to the problem but he does recommend greater transparency, blah, blah, blah…

But look, threats of economic collapse are as old as economics itself. Sure it happens, but take any sensationalist click-baity headline with a pinch of salt. OK?

And ESPECIALLY don’t trust a dumb article by a dumb guy on Wall Street Memes Dot Com. This scary, catchy headline is designed to get you to click onto this site and literally nothing else because, at the end of the day, this is an advert for a casino.

Like, no, but it’s not great news.

Alright, here we go again, deep breath… Donald Trump has reignited his trade war with the EU over ownership of Greenland, increasing tariffs 10% and threatening to go up further if Denmark doesn’t hand over the frozen wasteland that no one actually wants anyway.

So this is literally just blackmail?

EU shares took a massive hit, particularly in sectors like credit, luxury goods and vehicles. Gold and silver, however, have hit an ATH, which is never really a good sign about the stability of the global economy. Oh, and the dollar is down, and people are panicking about an impending depression so all round good news.

Europe is discussing its response and could potentially hit back with similar tariffs but currently world leaders are playing down that possibility and playing up diplomacy. Likely we’ll see a back and forth for a bit, some European leaders will have a meeting with Trump, kiss his ass for a bit, offer some conciliation prize like idk, a military spending or ownership of the military base or something and the whole thing will cool down when he sparks whatever the next international crisis will be.

Shall we spin the globe? How about Taiwan? I think it’s Taiwan’s turn to be in the news next.

Trump-ed up charges

We know how this playbook goes, Trump threatens the craziest possible scenario, the world freaks out and everyone writes about it and then placate him with less than what he asked for but what he actually wanted all a long. It’s exactly what he did with the tariffs and everyone falls for it every time.

And the reasoning never matters, in this case it’s because China and Russia are a threat to Greenland which err, they are not. Yeah, China has investments in rare minerals extraction there, but they’re only interested in soft power there atm. Russia on the other hand, sure I’m sure they’d love a bit of Greenland but never in a million years are they invading it when it’s right on America, Canada and Europe’s doorstep. (shh, yes, i know Ukraine, but that’s different, shh.)

There’s also the factor that the receding ice might (big might) open up a new trade route to Asia.

The only country it would really make a difference for is, surprise, surprise, America.

This is your standard imperialism, pure and simple. Except we live in the age of liberal democracy where imperialism, by and large, is ineffective compared with diplomatic and economic solutions.

So no, we’re not heading towards World War III. Maybe we’ll see things heat up a bit but our current civilisation is built on these alliances, it’s in no one’s interest to start fighting.

Why do you think this is a tariff war and not an actual war?

Trump will walk away with some small win once the dust has settled but his greatest legacy in this debarkle with be the continued erosion of diplomatic relations with his closest allies.

Good work, Mr. Trump!

And as a special bonus, here’s DJT’s 100% real letter to Norway’s Prime Minister. And no, it wasn’t written by a child.

“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America.

“Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a ‘right of ownership’ anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also.

“I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

So much for isolationism…

For more on this story, read this: Greenland’s Response To JD Vance: “Sorry, Who Are You?”

Who? What? What are you talking about? Oh yeah, I’m supposed to tell you, sorry, one sec…

Right, I’ve read up on it now and the crypto platform Cardano’s founder, Charles Hoskinson says that he lost $2.5 billion dollars in actual money over four years. Why? Well according to him government interference killed the bull run before it had even hit its stride.

Hoskinson went further and put the blame squarely at Donald J. Trump’s feet, saying that instead of the crypto pump that he had promised during his campaign, Trump just sowed chaos.

So is this cope? Or a big bag of nope?

Well, most cryptos have dipped about 40%-50% since Trump’s second term began. Additionally pump-and-dump schemes pushed by the president himself (Trump and dump, if you will), giving crypto as a whole a massive hit to its reputation.

On the other hand we have seem massive crypto rallies over the past year with Bitcoin breaking multiple ATHs and a general feeling of a more widespread adoption of the technology with a number of companies embracing the currencies.

Alright, so now what?

Well, idk, idk what to do with any of this. Make up your own mind, whatever.

No.

Shit, this seems like a joke. I thought DOGE was done, weren’t we done with that? Like, it’s a dead meme. I know that everyone was praying for the great meme reset of 2026, but it hasn’t happened. We’re not going back to DOGE and pepe and all that garbage, it’s cringe guys, please, let it die…

Except, NO! Because the Senate Banking Committee’s newest draft legislation would create non-ancillary asset classification (whatever that means) for XRP, Solana, Dogecoin and Bitcoin, basically putting them all on a level legal footing.

It’s what the founding fathers would have wanted

I mean, all this is probably a good thing. I know the whole point is deregulation and decentralisation and a lack of government interference and all that but also all you crypto bros also want this to be taken seriously and used as a proper currency.

So here we are, this is one more step toward legitimacy. Litecoin, Hedera, Dogecoin, Chainlink, XRP, Solana and BiGbuttCoin will all get the same regulatory treatment as Bitcoin and Ethereum.

It really is the year of the Dogehwwhh (sorry, I just vomited in my mouth a little) with a soaring price, beating out Bitcoin just a few days ago.

Likewise Ethereum is predicted to hit $40,000 by 2030 and Bitcoin will ATH this year according to Standard Chartered.

No doubt this latest news will add to their gains too.

So that’s exciting.

The American Enterprise Institute just said that average house prices have risen 150% since 2019 but honestly, did you really need a study to tell you that? Just take a deep breath in. You can smell it in the air.

Couple this with home loan rates two-thirds higher than in 2019 means that three in four households will likely never own their own home. So how did we get here? And more importantly, how do we get out?

High House Building Costs

High material costs, labor shortages, tighter building regulations and various other market factors mean that building costs have outpaced inflation and now account for 60-70% of the cost of bringing a new house to market.

This is a large factor, but this alone isn’t the main factor pushing up house prices, so let’s keep going, shall we?

Lack Of House Supply

There’s simply not enough houses and not enough being built at the rate of the growing population. Counterintuitively it might be the houses and the top end of the market that may need a supply boost since wealthy buyers are currently competing with the middle class for housing, driving up prices for everyone.

Never thought I’d say this, but GIVE RICH PEOPLE HOUSES!

Over Regulation

The above problem seems to be the obvious cause so, if we’re all in agreement, then why don’t we just build more houses? Well, there are a lot of restrictions such as parking requirements, height restrictions etc. that mean houses are expensive to build or just never get built in the first place.

Oh and Also I feel like COVID is a factor

Didn’t really cover why this is after 2029 in particular, but I reckon it must be COVID, right?

So What Can Be Done?

Thankfully the problem might have finally bubbled over to the point where politicians can’t ignore it anymore.

Donald Trump and bizarrely, gavin Newsom have come together to support a bill that would prevent large investors from buying up properties to rent them out.

Seems good on paper, but there’s been some pushback. “There’s no empirical evidence that large institutions have driven up housing prices,” says Ed Pinto, codirector of the American Enterprise Institute Housing Center.

“These companies are not pillaging homebuyers,” he continued. “It’s just the opposite. As more and more people can’t afford to buy single-family homes, they’re providing the option of living in one at lower cost by renting. That takes those people out of the purchase market, and hence can take pressure off prices.”

But it seems like a chicken or egg problem and from the sounds of it, this housing crisis will need a multi-pronged attack to get solved. Trump’s policy might be a start but there’s still a long way to go before this problem actually gets solved.

Can’t afford McDonald’s? He’s in the big leagues now.

The world’s most popular YouTuber (no, not Steve1989MREInfo), Mr ‘Jimmy’ Beast, might be worth $2.6 billion but technically he’s broke and honestly, it’s not surprising.

Because we all know by now that this is how the ultra wealthy operate. The world’s richest man, Elon Musk is famously cash poor, securing massive bank loans by using his stock options as collateral, getting another loan when the first runs out and just all round running a ponzi scheme.

Well, now MrBeast can say he’s made it because he’s entering the same boat. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal to promote his new TV show (remember, everthing is an advert) Jimmy had this to say, “I’m borrowing money. That’s how little money I have. Technically, everyone watching this video has more money than me in their bank account if you subtract the equity value of my company, which doesn’t buy me McDonald’s in the morning.”

MrBeast? More like mr yeast, amiright?

He’s covered this a few times in the press, saying that he reinvests all the money he makes into his videos. Posting on X, Donaldson said, “I personally have very little money because I reinvest everything (I think this year we’ll spend around a quarter of a billion on content). Ironically I’m actually borrowing $ from my mom to pay for my upcoming wedding but sure, on paper the businesses I own are worth a lot.”

The post was in response to someone claiming that he didn’t inherit his wealth but guys, he’s literally called ‘Donaldson’, you think he didn’t get even a little bit of money from daddy Trump?

But there you have it. Maybe you, dear reader, and Mr Beasty boy have more in common than you think. Maybe you’re not such a failure after all. Maybe the next time your mom asks you to pay her back for the one time she paid for your bail after you accidentally committed an arson, you can just say that actually, MrBeast wouldn’t be able to pay you back either so I’m not a useless bum actually.

Surprise surporuise

Ronald McPresident Trump has announced his plan to cap credit card interest rates and heads of America’s top banks have spoken out against the plan. But like, yeah, of course they have, what, is this seriously news?

“Senior executives for the nation’s four largest banks — JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Citigroup (C), Bank of America (BAC), and Wells Fargo (WFC) — all said they agree that affordability is an issue, but that limiting credit card interest rates isn’t the right approach to solve it.”

During a call with reporters, Citigroup’s CFO Mark Mason said that “An interest rate cap is not something that we would or could support, frankly [and would] likely result in a significant slowdown in the economy. Affordability is clearly an important issue and one that we look forward to collaborating with the administration on.”

But like, why would it slow down the economy?

Look, I’m a writer for wall street memes dot com, I don’t know dick about economics but if I had to guess I’d say a cap in how much the banks can earn off poor people’s debt is a good thing, no?

It’s OK, here’s Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan to explain, “If you bring the caps down, you’re going to get restricted credit, meaning less people will get credit cards, and the balance available to them on those credit cards will also be restricted. And so you have to balance that against what you’re trying to achieve on affordability.”

Again, err, I’m still not seeing how that’s a bad thing? That sounds bad for the banks an no one else. Am I missing something here? Like, why would that restrict the credit? Don’t you set the credit rates? I don’t understand. Someone explain this to me.

Is this all because all your banks have dipped like 7% on the stock market after this announcement, is that it? Because it feels like that might be connected…

Let’s see how this story plays out and whether Trump will even follow through on this plan. Until then check out more of this insightful coverage for all you financial news.
