Scott and Ed discuss Trump’s decision to invite the top holders of his memecoin to a private dinner, Boeing’s first quarter earnings, and a new report underscoring the worsening wealth inequality in the U.S. Then, they explore how Trump’s policy reversals are undermining America’s global reputation in the markets. Finally, they break down Tesla’s first-quarter report, why the markets reacted so positively to the terrible results, and the key moments from the earnings call.
