Trump will sell his Tesla, says the White House, as the dispute with Musk poses risks for both men
His outburst leaves President Trump with a former ally who could politically undermine him and Elon Musk facing the potential loss of billions in government contracts.
President Trump is getting rid of his Tesla and has no plans to call Elon Musk, two Trump administration officials said on Friday, as the heated breakup of their partnership left both men, who hurled insults and threats at each other online on Thursday, with a lot at stake.
A White House official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to speak publicly said on Friday that the president planned to sell the red Tesla he said he bought in March.
Mr. Trump originally bought the car to show his support for Mr. Musk amid negative backlash over his role in the administration. Administration officials said Mr. Trump showed little interest in engaging with Mr. Musk, even after the billionaire indicated he would be open to de-escalating the fight.
Late Thursday, Mr. Musk backed away from a threat to dismantle “immediately” SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft, which transports NASA astronauts and supplies to and from the International Space Station. A little later, when Bill Ackman, the hedge fund billionaire, posted on social media that the two men “should make peace for the sake of our great country,” Mr. Musk replied: “You are not wrong.”
For Mr. Musk, a prolonged dispute with Mr. Trump could be very costly. His companies, including SpaceX, have benefited from billions of dollars in government contracts and were positioned to receive billions more. Mr. Trump threatened on Thursday to terminate those contracts.

#Binance Binance P2P enforces measures against price manipulation in Venezuela

In a context of increasing exchange rate volatility in Venezuela, the cryptocurrency exchange platform Binance P2P has issued a strong statement announcing "sanctions" for those traders who artificially manipulate offer prices. This measure aims to counteract the inflation of parallel dollar prices, a factor that has led traders in Lara to adopt the euro as a reference currency.

The statement from Binance P2P details that repeated practices have been detected that "undermine the transparency and balance of the ecosystem." Specifically, the platform highlights two critical points: Creation of announcements with prices significantly higher than the market average, with the apparent goal of altering or manipulating the perception of price and misuse of filters to maliciously limit the majority of users, preventing them from making offers.

Binance P2P has been clear in its warning: "From this moment on, any Maker who publishes an announcement with an artificially inflated price (even if it remains active for a few seconds and claims to have been an 'error') will be subject to sanctions." The platform emphasizes that this behavior not only violates its guidelines but also "negatively affects the trust and proper functioning of the entire P2P community."

The sanctions that may be applied include temporary account blocking, loss of badges and associated benefits, and even suspension or permanent blocking of access to the trading platform. The company reiterates its commitment to maintaining a "fair, safe, and transparent environment for all users," and thanks for the understanding and cooperation to preserve the integrity of the market.

Co-Founder of Ledn: "Before Bitcoin, my most successful investment was shorting the bolívar"
Bitcoin holders can now employ a similar strategy by shorting the US dollar and holding onto the harder asset, BTC, said Mauricio di Bartolomeo.

Before discovering Bitcoin

, Ledn co-founder Mauricio di Bartolomeo found success shorting the Venezuelan bolívar as it rapidly lost value against the stronger US dollar. Now, with the US dollar depreciating against Bitcoin, borrowing against Bitcoin instead of selling it has become a more viable strategy.

"Before Bitcoin, my most successful investment was shorting the bolívar with dollars," di Bartolomeo told Cointelegraph in an exclusive interview at the Consensus conference in Toronto, Canada.

"I was borrowing bolívares and buying dollars with them, holding the strong dollars and having a debt position in the weaker currency," he explained.

The arrival of Bitcoin-backed loans means that investors can now effectively implement the same strategy using a stronger currency as collateral.

In summary
Dr. Altcoin claims that Pi Network sold millions of PI tokens while keeping the community distracted.
According to the pioneer, the Pi Core Team sold approximately 12 million PI tokens in the last 24 hours.
The price of PI currently stands at $0.702 after plummeting 21% in the last 24 hours

Recently, cryptocurrency pioneer and blockchain expert, Dr. Altcoin, made a strong accusation against the Pi Network team, stating that the platform executed a “rug pull,” a practice in which developers sell large amounts of their cryptocurrency at high prices, only to abandon the project or drastically decrease its value.

This allegation has generated a wave of controversy within the crypto community.

“Rug pull” of Pi Network? Massive sales and price drop
Pi Network had managed to capture the attention of thousands of users thanks to its promise of being an accessible cryptocurrency for everyone, through mobile mining.

However, the real uproar began during the Consensus 2025 event, where Nikolas Kokkalis, one of the co-founders of Pi Network, presented his vision for the future of the project, including the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), decentralized finance (DeFi), and the anticipated “Horizon” update.

This event generated expectations among the pioneers, who hoped for a significant increase in the value of Pi. In fact, the price of the cryptocurrency skyrocketed dramatically in a short period. However, what seemed to be a promising evolution soon turned into a disappointing revelation for the community.

$BTC This type—Laszlo Hanyecz—made history without even realizing it.
In 2010, he posted on a forum:
"I will pay 10,000 BTC for two pizzas."
At that time, those 10,000 bitcoins were worth only $25.
A fellow forum member accepted the offer, ordered two pizzas from Papa John’s, and had them delivered to Laszlo's house in Florida.
Laszlo sent the BTC using a new command line wallet—and thus, the world witnessed its first real cryptocurrency transaction.
🍕 Two pizzas.
💸 10,000 BTC.
📅 Value today? Around $1 billion (with BTC currently trading near $100,000).
Now, every May 22nd is celebrated as Bitcoin Pizza Day—a reminder of how far crypto has come... and perhaps how painful hindsight can be.
Can Laszlo ever forgive himself?
Hard to say.
But one thing is for sure: most people will never understand what it is like to have eaten the most expensive lunch in history. 💔#BinancePizza

About 15 years ago, this man paid 10,000 ‎$BTC for 2 pizzas 🍕
And now ‎#BTC is worth over 1 billion
What do you think of this man?

⚠️ P2P Scam Alert — Protect Yourself Now! 🚫
Hello Binance users,
If you are using Binance to buy or sell USDT or USDC through P2P, this post is a must-read. Many of you receive payments directly into your bank accounts, but how safe is it really? Let's break it down:
Purchase Scam:
When you buy USDT/USDC, you send money from your bank to the seller. But what happens if the seller doesn’t release the crypto?
You can file an appeal, and if your evidence is valid, Binance will help you recover your funds.
Unfortunately, there are sellers who scam buyers this way. Be careful.
Sale Scam:
This one is even more complicated.
You list your USDT for sale and wait for the buyer to transfer money to your bank. But some scammers send fake payment notifications without actually transferring any funds.
Important: Never release your crypto just because you saw a message, always check your bank balance first.
Final Words:
Stay alert, don’t rush, and double-check everything. A calm mind and a few extra seconds can save you from significant losses.
