Scott Galloway, a prominent US marketing professor, has sharply criticized Elon Musk's political involvement, claiming it has resulted in “one of the greatest brand destructions” in Tesla's history. On the podcast Pivot, Galloway argued that Musk's alignment with Republicans, who largely oppose electric vehicles (EVs), has alienated Tesla's core customer base. He noted a dramatic decline in Tesla's reputation, plummeting from the eighth-most reputable brand in 2021 to 95th, alongside significant sales drops in key European markets—59% in France, 81% in Sweden, and 74% in the Netherlands. Galloway emphasized that Tesla's competitor, BYD, has now outsold it in Europe. Following a 71% profit dip reported by Tesla, Musk announced he would reduce his role in the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) after facing investor backlash. His political donations, including $200 million to support Trump, further complicated Tesla's standing among EV customers.

Published: May 24 2025, 4 pm ISTeznews.inHarvard University has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, challenging its decision to revoke the institution's eligibility to enroll international students, which the university claims violates the First Amendment. A judge has temporarily blocked this move, which would impact approximately 7,000 visa holders. If the administration's action were to stand, Harvard would be unable to enroll foreign students for two years and would force current students to transfer to other colleges to maintain their visas. The controversy stems from a request by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for information on students that could lead to deportations. Among those affected are notable students like Cleo Carney, daughter of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, and Princess Elisabeth of Belgium, both awaiting clarity on their academic futures. Harvard has condemned the government's actions as "unlawful," asserting that international students are vital to its mission and community.
Published: May 24 2025, 2 pm ISTeznews.inBangladesh's interim leader Muhammad Yunus, who assumed office following a mass uprising last year, is set to meet with key political parties on Saturday amid rising tensions and protests. The 84-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate, leading the caretaker government until elections are organized, has urged rival factions to support his administration. His press secretary confirmed meetings with leaders of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and Jamaat-e-Islami, the country's largest Islamist party, ahead of elections anticipated by December. Political unrest has intensified since former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's departure in August 2024, with BNP supporters staging protests demanding a clear election timeline. Yunus, who returned from exile to lead the nation, has indicated he may resign if political backing does not materialize. Jamaat-e-Islami has also voiced opposition, particularly against a women's commission advocating for equality.
Published: May 24 2025, 2 pm ISTeznews.inThe Marubo tribe, an indigenous group from Brazil's Amazon, has initiated a defamation lawsuit against The New York Times, seeking $180 million in damages for what they claim is a false portrayal of their community as being addicted to pornography following their access to the internet. The lawsuit asserts that the report, which suggested the tribe's youth were unable to manage their new online environment, severely damaged their reputation and undermined their cultural integrity. The tribe argues that such depictions attack their character and social standing, implying a lack of discipline and values. Additionally, the lawsuit targets TMZ and Yahoo for amplifying these claims, which they allege have led to widespread misinformation across over 100 websites. While The New York Times later published a follow-up clarifying that the tribe did not develop a porn addiction, the Marubo maintain that the initial reporting has had lasting negative effects on their community.
