Telehealth’s promise of revolutionizing healthcare has waned. Early expectations of cost-saving and improved access have not materialized. In fact, telehealth may even be detrimental to some patients. A recent study found that patients who used telehealth were more likely to be misdiagnosed or undertreated compared to those who saw a doctor in person. Additionally, telehealth can be difficult for older adults and those with low incomes to use. As a result, telehealth is now seen as a complementary tool, rather than a replacement for in-person care.

One Big Loser of Trump’s Second Term: Elon Musk
Elon Musk, the eccentric CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, may face significant challenges during a potential second term for former President Donald Trump.
Musk has previously criticized Trump’s policies, particularly regarding climate change and immigration. A second Trump term could intensify tensions between the two, leading to potential business disruptions for Musk’s companies.
Furthermore, Trump’s nationalist agenda could limit Musk’s global ambitions, especially in the aerospace sector. The unpredictable nature of Trump’s administration may also create uncertainty for Musk’s ventures.
Liberals Have No Answers for a Modern Age in Crisis
In an era marked by profound technological advancements, economic disruptions, and rising geopolitical tensions, many argue that the liberal paradigm is proving increasingly inadequate. Critics contend that traditional liberal solutions, centered around government regulation and social welfare, fall short in addressing the complexities of the 21st century. They argue that a new framework is needed, embracing technological innovation, economic dynamism, and a redefining of the role of government. Proponents of this view assert that the modern age requires a fresh approach, one that recognizes the rapidly changing nature of society and the need for pragmatic policies that promote prosperity and societal well-being.
Elon Musk Is Already Making Bank off Trump’s Win
Elon Musk’s companies have already benefited financially from President Trump’s win. Tesla’s stock price has surged since the election, and SpaceX has won several new contracts from the government. These developments suggest that Musk is well-positioned to profit from Trump’s presidency.
Musk has a long history of supporting Trump. In May 2016, he said that he would “probably” vote for Trump if he ran for president. He has also praised Trump’s policies, such as his proposed cuts to taxes and regulations.
Some observers have criticized Musk for his support of Trump. They argue that Musk is giving legitimacy to a dangerous and divisive figure. However, Musk has defended his support of Trump, saying that he believes Trump is “a good guy” who will be “good for America.”
It remains to be seen how Trump’s presidency will affect Musk’s companies in the long run. However, it is clear that Musk is already benefiting financially from Trump’s win.
