Tesla’s still pretending it’s a tech company, Stellantis is still pretending it’s a cool name, and Elon’s reality show got picked up by the White House. We break down whether SpaceX could survive a government “upgrade,” how tariffs are the financial version of playing chicken with yourself, and why Stellantis might just be the least-loved bargain in autos (with Maserati-sized baggage).
Also on deck: the S&P crosses the big 6-handle, oil prices yawn their way higher, and Circle’s IPO drops — because what the stablecoin market needed was more hype. Plus, a surprisingly intelligent discussion on IPO timing, salespeople, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ slow-motion hiring freeze.
Stick around for our favorite segment: This Day in Economic History, featuring digestion-through-gunshot, Seattle on fire, and a celebration of the SEC’s birthday (because nothing says party like mandatory quarterly disclosures).
Welcome to the next episode of the Capital Call: with the Millegan Brothers, managing partners of the Woodworth Contrarian Fund with a new episode released every Monday morning at 2 AM Eastern / 5 AM Pacific.
