Tesla CEO Elon Musk said he would soon be spending less time with the Trump administration after first-quarter earnings fell short of expectations.

Net income for the quarter was down 71% after a decline in vehicle deliveries, with Tesla battling growing competition from foreign brands, shifting trade policies and growing backlash to the brand after Musk aligned himself with the Trump administration.

"There are some challenges, and I expect that this year will be, there will probably be some unexpected bumps this year," Musk said during a Tuesday earnings call. "But I remain extremely optimistic about the future of the company."

The slump comes as Tesla, along with other automakers, adjust to auto tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. In a Tuesday financial report, Tesla said “rapidly evolving trade policy” has impacted the global supply chain and the company’s cost structure.

While Tesla assembles its vehicles in the U.S., the automaker is exposed to tariffs because it imports parts from other countries.

"I've been on the record many times saying that I believe lower tariffs are generally a good idea for prosperity, but this decision is fundamentally up to the elected representative of the people, being the president of the United States," Musk said. "I'll continue to advocate for lower tariffs rather than higher tariffs, but that's all I can do."

Tesla also noted that “changing political sentiment” could have an impact on product demand in the near term. The company has faced backlash after Musk began work with the Trump administration's DOGE, the initiative that has fired tens of thousands of federal workers.

Dealerships have suffered vandalism and protests, and polls from Pew Research and CNBC show roughly half of Americans have negative views of the billionaire tech mogul. Shares had plummeted, ending Tuesday about 50% down from their December peak. And first-quarter deliveries were down 13% from a year ago, although Tesla said that was due in part to the company losing production time as it updated factories to produce the new Model Y.

I offer my deepest condolences to the Nigerian Catholic Church and the Christian community around the world on the passing of His Holiness, Pope Francis, who was the head of the Catholic Church.

Pope Francis was a religious leader whose impact transcended the pulpit to many other spheres of humanity. He was an advocate for peace, justice and equality around the world.

Pope Francis' death, a day after offering Easter sermon, speaks of his dedication to service and commitment to faith and service.

Even in his struggling moments he stayed true to his faith and commitment to his purpose of preaching peace and justice and love across the world.

As we reflect on the vacuum created by his departure, may his life of faith, dedication and service to God continue to inspire us all.

A heartbreaking incident occurred in the Eagle Island area of Port Harcourt during the early hours of Tuesday, April 22, 2025, as Inspector Maxwell Zabu, a serving police officer, was reported to have died by suicide.

As reported by Dez Mayorz News, Zabu, widely recognized as a committed and hardworking officer, allegedly ended his life by shooting himself in his residence. The exact details surrounding the event are still unknown.

His sudden death has left colleagues and members of the community in deep shock and mourning, as he was held in high regard by those who knew him.

At the time this report was compiled, the Rivers State Police Command had not yet issued an official statement on the matter.

On Tuesday, the Vatican released the first official images of Pope Francis lying in an open coffin, marking the beginning of mourning rites following his death. The solemn photos, published by the Holy See, show the late pontiff in red liturgical vestments and a bishop’s mitre, with a rosary gently resting between his folded hands.

the funeral is expected to take place between Friday and Sunday.

In a break from tradition, #Francis requested in his final testament to be buried at Rome’s Basilica of Saint Mary Major, rather than St. Peter’s. His body could be moved to St. Peter’s Basilica as early as Wednesday for the faithful to pay their respects.

Some communities, such as Ugondo in Logo and Tyuluv, Gbagir, and Ukum LGs were attacked in a
a coordinated attack by gunmen suspected to be armed herders between Thursday and Friday.

The Police Command in the state, through its Spokesman, Catherine Anene, had on Friday announced that five people in Ukum and 12 people in Logo total of 17, were killed.

But speaking during his on-the-spot assessment tour of some of the communities attacked in the two local governments on Saturday, the state governor, Hyacinth Alia, disclosed that the death toll had risen to 55.

According to him, the death toll in Logo was at the time of addressing the people hit 27, and another 28 in Ukum LG.

He said, “Since these attacks started, we have recovered corpses. As of yesterday (Friday ), we received some, and today (Saturday), the tally rose to 27 in Logo.
In Ukum, security operatives have recovered over 28 corpses.

He added that some families had buried their loved ones after being given cover by security operatives.

“Some families requested to conduct immediate burial for their relatives, and the security personnel provided them with cover to do so,” he said

The governor however declared that what the state was going through at the moment is ‘a real war’ which could not be handled with kid gloves.

He said, “There is no room for anyone to sleep with their two eyes closed. This is real war. We know our enemies. This is the only state that we have. I mourn with you at this very pathetic and sad moment in your lives.”

While commending the security agencies for all their sacrifices in ensuring that there is peace in the state, Alia called on the Federal Government to assist his administration with the necessary support to end the killings and displacement of innocent citizens in the state.

The governor promised to take care of the burial and medical bills of those in the hospital.

The affected communities were said to have been deserted as residents have fled the areas and now taken refuge in Zaki-Biam and Ugba IDP camps.
