Shop Owner In Germany Goes Full 1930s With Sign Banning Jews From Entering
Shop Owner In Germany Goes Full 1930s With Sign Banning Jews From Entering
https://rmx.news/article/shopowner-in-germany-goes-full-1930s-with-sign-banning-jews-from-entering/
A shop owner in the city of Flensburg, Germany, near the Danish border, decided to put up an anti-Semitic sign in his window, effectively banning Jews from his store.
?itok=i-FmehvU
The 60-year-old owner of the shop, Hans Velten-Reisch, admitted to putting up the A4-sized paper himself, which read: “Jews not allowed!!!”
Below that clear ban, in smaller letters, the owner wrote: “Nothing personal, not anti-Semitism, I just can’t stand you.”
“Jews have house ban here” — a sign displayed in Flensburg, Germany today.Shocking. This is not “criticism of Israel.” It is blatant, unapologetic antisemitism.
More than 80 years after Nazi Germany posted signs excluding Jews from public life, we are seeing the same vile hatred… https://t.co/BejTCT0g2N

In a statement to the Schleswig-Holsteinische Zeitungsverlag, reported on by https://magyarnemzet.hu/kulfold/2025/09/antiszemita-flensburg
, the owner denied the accusation of anti-Semitism and justified his actions with Israel’s attacks on Gaza.
“There are Jews living in Israel, and I can’t tell who supports the attacks and who doesn’t,” R. said, in an attempt to justify his action. He also called Israeli attacks in Gaza “hypocritical.”
“They always say that history shouldn’t repeat itself, but then they do it themselves,” the shopowner added, comparing Israeli actions in Gaza to the Holocaust.
Posts with photos of the shop window have gone viral on social media.
Felix Klein, the German federal government’s commissioner against anti-Semitism, has spoken out on the matter.
“This is pure anti-Semitism, and of course a direct reference to the Nazi era, when Jews were boycotted and many such signs were visible.”
“This should not be tolerated in any form,” Klein emphasized.
Local politicians were also quick to react, with the Flensburg branch of the Greens condemning the anti-Semitic poster most strongly. Simone Lange, the former mayor of Flensburg, personally filed a police report.
Federal Minister of Education Karin Prien, who also has Jewish ancestry, said: “Anyone who expresses and justifies anti-Semitism goes against everything that our democratic coexistence represents.”
Police have received several reports regarding the sign, and the prosecutor’s office is investigating whether a crime was committed.
“We must show that we will not tolerate anti-Semitism,” Klein stated.
The Israeli ambassador to Germany, Ron Prosor, also spoke up. “In Flensburg, in 2025, signs saying ‘Jews not allowed’ are once again hanging in shop windows. Just like then, in the streets, cafes and stores of the 1930s,” https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/antisemitic-sign-germany-flensburg-shop-window-gaza-b2829669.html
reports him as saying.
“This is exactly how it began – step by step, sign by sign. It is the same old hatred, only in a different font. After the signs came shards of glass, fire and destruction. And today, people behave as if it were ‘nothing personal.’”
“It was never about Zionism. It was always about Jewish life. And it has never ended harmlessly,” Ambassador Prosor added.

YouTube频道“一个内修司 Mind Alchemy”的系列节目《怎样发起一场反对派政治运动?| 新国家道路与中国民主转型系列
该系列分为上、中、下三集,深入探讨了在中国高压环境下发起反对派运动的理论设计、历史经验与具体实践。
以下是该系列节目的主要内容提炼:
第一部分:反对派运动的必要性与中东欧经验(上集)
专制国家反对派的存在:节目指出,即使在没有合法反对党的专制国家,也存在通常不受法律保护并遭镇压的反对派群体及其活动。中东欧前共产主义国家的反对派运动即是社会运动的一种。
中国推动反对派运动的必要性:
武装暴动实现民主转型道路行不通,而中国社会面临严重的原子化和动员障碍,以及认知混乱。
中国经济神话破灭,结构性衰退不可避免,但中共当局无意进行政治和经济制度改革。社会矛盾尖锐,经济与社会危机叠加,为社会运动创造了时代环境。
中国大陆社会运动碎片化,难以大规模动员;海外民主运动也存在碎片化和内耗,未能有效形成政治组织或探索新的运动形式。
中东欧反对派运动经验:
避免直接提出政权更迭,采取温和表述,以避免更严酷的镇压。例如哈维尔强调“生活在真实中”,追求自由、真实、有尊严的生活。
社会反对派的形成源于不满、疏远和异议三种公共意识。对政权疏远的群体更广泛,可通过替代性社会方案(如宗教、文化)、政策缺陷引发不满、意识形态内部矛盾以及经济衰退等识别和动员。
中东欧的转型模式并非都由改革派主导,而是有赖于社会运动的压力,推动统治精英内部瓦解或达成妥协。
中东欧社会运动并非“去中心化”的原子化反抗,而是由多个团体构建的“多中心化网络系统”,通过中间人形成紧密的合作关系和动员机制,并受到反对派精英群体的影响。
波兰的天主教会团体通过中间人连接了不同的反抗组织,形成了顽强的关系网。
第二部分:中国反对派政治运动的设计与挑战(中集)
“反对派政治运动”的定义:
在中共对异见的污名化下,提出“反对派”概念是对反对意见群体身份的重新表述,区别于“境外敌对势力”。
它本质上是一个连接海内外的社会互动,发生在思想、文化、人生理念、生活方式和人际关系结构层面,通过系统性的消极抵抗重塑“沉默的大多数”。其目的是打通社会动员障碍,为引爆社会运动创造条件。
并非一步到位实现政权更迭,而是以“培养反对派运动”为目标。
中国语境下的特殊性:
中国社会自组织能力受到严重破坏,反政府心态和不服从行为尚未形成社会风气,也缺乏“平行文化”。
中国的海外离散群体规模庞大,历史上扮演过更积极的角色,可利用其构建的“流亡的公共领域”进行反向宣传动员。
“再政治化”与“再社会化”战略:
再社会化:通过再造身份认同、形成系统性消极抵抗,重塑沉默的大多数,鼓励个体在日常生活中疏远旧的社会。
再政治化:重新整合反对者群体,培养其基础政治能力和在社会运动中的领导力。反对派政治最关心的是形成反对派和发起反对派运动。
三阶段演进目标:
重新整合反对派关系网:促成不同个体和群体之间的分工合作与结盟,形成一个有分工有合作的反对派关系网络。
推动有针对性的政治训练:通过集体学习培养社会运动骨干的组织动员才能和解决问题的基础政治能力。
搭建平行社会合作框架和形成平行替代方案:通过游说和培养社会精英与文化精英,巩固对平行社会的影响力和领导力,吸引更多民众疏远和孤立政权,形成新的文化认同,削弱专制政权的执政根基。
对“宏大目标”的反思:反对派政治运动不应“好高骛远”,以颠覆政权为目标,而应以人权和社会主权等具体诉求为目标,降低参与门槛和政治风险,吸引更广泛的参与者。
第三部分:反对派政治运动的具体行动(下集)
节目提出了九个具体的突破口来推进反对派政治运动,强调社会分工协作,以非暴力、系统性、策略性对抗高压政治:
搭建可复制、可裂殖、可扩展的早期合作框架:从小型关系网开始,总结可复制的合作模式,并利用国际环境向中国大陆延伸。
利用多媒体平台和新通讯工具进行公共政治训练:包括结社、宣传动员、分歧管控、安全技术、政治科学、社会运动历史教育等培训。
进行新型结社和集会尝试:通过小型、有互信基础的兴趣社或读书会,利用加密通讯,在灰色地带恢复社会自组织能力。
运用数字行动主义策略发起社会互动倡议:借鉴“李老师不是你老师”的模式,利用网络投稿、实时报道,形成线上线下、海内外交相呼应的社会互动,强化社会纽带。
形成平行文化和培养社会思潮:通过独立思想家、公共讨论,引导社会疏远和孤立政权,形成新文化替代旧文化。
重新发起一场新生活运动:通过日常生活中的反抗(如抵制红色旅游、支持独立文化、拒绝网络暴力等),形成有意识疏离极权国家的生活方式和身份认同,实现系统性的消极抵抗。
组建中国人自己的飞行大学:作为平行社会的教育与文化机关,推动教育理念转变、对抗洗脑教育、培养社会改革家。
用社会分工和平行替代方案来强化政治竞争力:成立反对派智库、行业工会或专家委员会,在各专业领域(民族、宗教、劳工、人权、司法等)深耕,提出具体政策替代方案,将抽象矛盾转化为具体议题,形成专业的社会动员力。
使用非对称博弈策略探索非暴力运动新边界:利用情报战、信息战、认知战、文化运动等手段,在模糊地带进行系统性破坏和袭扰,将暴力手段转化为非暴力对抗,并将社会群体控制在可控范围内。
总结区分“社运”与“民运”:
民运(民主运动):以流亡的六四群体及其他异见流亡者为主体,常年孤悬海外,与中国大陆社会脱节,社会动员策略趋于老化。
社运(社会运动):由新生代海内外流亡群体牵头,强调重新整合海内外反对者群体,以全新的组织动员策略,通过思想理念、生活方式和身份认同重塑社会,形成新的社会联盟,以实际领导力推动社会变革。
该系列节目认为,反对派政治运动是一项系统性的工程,需要长期的社会分工协作和耐心,通过多元的非暴力手段,从思想、文化和生活方式层面逐步瓦解极权统治的社会根基,最终促成大规模的社会运动和国家转型。

How The West Screwed Itself In Energy Geopolitics
How The West Screwed Itself In Energy Geopolitics
https://tilakdoshi.substack.com/p/how-the-west-snookered-itself-in
The recent https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Tianjin_SCO_summit
in Tianjin, China, offered vivid optics of a shifting global order. Images of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping sharing smiles and warm embraces spoke volumes about a realignment that few could have predicted at the start of 2025. Against the backdrop of a “binding memorandum” for the Power of Siberia 2 (POS-2) pipeline supplying Russian natural gas to China, this summit was no mere public relations exercise.
?itok=VTyuTcdr
The summit marks a profound shift in global energy geopolitics, one that underscores Europe’s slide into irrelevance, the competitive headwinds facing US LNG exports and the spectacular failure of former National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski’s vision of US strategic supremacy over Russia largely constructed during the tumultuous 1990s. The United States, in its pursuit of Eurasian hegemony, has alienated a critical ally in India, pushed Russia and China closer together, and left Germany — once an industrial powerhouse — prostrate. This is a tale of hubris, miscalculation and unintended consequences.
The Tianjin Summit: A New Energy Axis
The Tianjin summit crystallised a new geopolitical reality. The warm camaraderie among the leaders of India, Russia, and China —three of the world’s five largest economies — signalled a growing alignment, not just in rhetoric and optics but in tangible energy partnerships. The https://thediplomat.com/2025/09/china-mongolia-russia-agreement-on-power-of-siberia-2-could-reroute-energy-trade/
, a 50 billion cubic meter pipeline to deliver gas from Russia’s Yamal fields to China via Mongolia, is a cornerstone of this realignment.
Unlike the existing Power of Siberia 1, which draws gas from Irkutsk (north of Mongolia), POS-2 taps into the same Arctic reserves in Yamal that once fuelled Germany’s industrial might for half a century. For decades, German prosperity rested on a bargain: cheap Russian gas in exchange for high-value German manufactured exports. This was the essence of Willy Brandt’s Ostpolitik and the foundation of Germany’s rise as Europe’s economic powerhouse.
Russia’s pivot to Asia – accelerated by Western sanctions since 2014 (after the annexation of Crimea) and intensified after the 2022 Ukraine invasion – is now consolidating. With POS-2 and the expansion of existing pipelines, Russia could supply China with up to 100 billion cubic metres (bcm) of gas annually after 2030 when the new pipeline would be up and running.
This is significantly less than the 150 bcm Russia once exported to Europe at its peak. Furthermore, the price for Russia’s natural gas sold to a price-sensitive China will be materially less than what it received from its European customers. But this re-orientation, while costing Russia lost revenues from lower prices and volumes, significantly alleviates Russia’s economic security after the https://www.ft.com/content/120d3b78-68b4-4b42-9e65-c55e8fd77fd0
.
It also reduces China’s reliance on seaborne LNG, which is typically two to four times as expensive as piped gas. Critically, this reduces China’s vulnerability to US naval dominance in chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz and Straits of Malacca through which all Middle East gas exports to China must pass through.
For India, the Tianjin summit was a stage to assert its defiance. Reeling from the Trump administration’s decision to https://www.reuters.com/world/india/trumps-doubling-tariffs-hits-india-damaging-ties-2025-08-27/
from President Trump are unprecedented. Few global leaders turn down a call from the president of the US.
of Russian energy and commodities ranging from liquefied natural gas to enriched uranium.
The results of the sanctions regime have been contrary to what was predicted. In 2022, European Commission President Ursula Von Der Leyen https://x.com/TheRealNewzHawk/status/1897770826541531291
while Russian shows little sign of being in “tatters”.
Russia has pivoted East to forge energy and trade ties with China and India as well as other countries such as Turkey and Brazil. The POS-2 deal, though not yet a finalised sales and purchase contract between buyer and seller, signals Russia’s success in finding alternative markets for its gas. The “binding memo” still lacks details on price, ‘take or pay’ terms, tenor of the long-term contract and relative contributions to capital costs. Nevertheless, the POS-2 memorandum signed in Tianjin shows that China is now willing to overcome its https://www.naturalgasintel.com/news/russia-china-slow-to-progress-power-of-siberia-2-natural-gas-negotiations/
over greater dependence on Russia’s energy resources. The gas that powered German factories and made the country the world’s manufacturing export powerhouse will now underpin China’s ambitions for continued economic dominance.
The US has gained a vassal in Germany, but at what cost? A deindustrialising Germany lacks the economic and diplomatic heft to bolster its own interests, let alone those of the US effectively. Meanwhile, the Tianjin summit showcased an alternative constellation of interests. China, India and Russia, despite their historical rivalries, are finding common cause. Border tensions between India and China persist, as do Russia’s fears of being dominated by China’s economic might.
Yet, the West’s aggressive posture — sanctions on Russia, tariffs on India and hostility towards China — has pushed these powers toward cooperation. Fuelled by the West’s own missteps, the BRICS grouping is https://www.forbes.com/sites/tilakdoshi/2023/08/29/brics6-vs-g-7-the-quest-for-multipolarity/
with its focus on reducing dependence on the US dollar and the US-dominated SWIFT inter-bank payments system.
India: The Diplomatic Blunder of the Century
Perhaps the most egregious error in this saga is the U.S. treatment of India. For two decades, U.S.-India relations had been warming, driven by shared interests in countering China’s rise and India’s growing economic clout. During Modi’s visit to the U.S. during Trump’s first term, the prospect of a closer strategic partnership seemed bright. Since 2014, strategic cooperation between the two nations has deepenedand India was declared a “https://www.state.gov/u-s-security-cooperation-with-india/
.
India, with its deep defence ties to Russia, was seen by the US as a potential strategic partner to the West, weaning it away from Moscow’s orbit. President Trump’s decision to add an additional 25% tariff rate on Indian exports to the U.S. for buying Russian oil—a move not applied to China or Europe, despite their larger imports from Russia—is difficult to understand. And if Indo-American relations are not salvaged soon, it may backfire spectacularly.
Jaishankar’s pointed remarks in Moscow highlight the absurdity of this policy. Why single out India, a critical ally, when others engage in larger energy trade volumes with Russia? The tariffs, perceived as bereft of logic, have alienated India at a time when its geopolitical weight is growing. Modi’s presence at Tianjin, alongside Putin and Xi, was a deliberate signal: India will not be bullied.
By increasing Russian oil imports, India is not only defying U.S. sanctions but also aligning closer with the BRICS framework which potentially offers an alternative to Western-dominated financial and trade systems. The US risks pushing India—a democracy of 1.4 billion people and a rising economic power—into the arms of Russia and China. The U.S. may thus squander a strategic opportunity, turning a potential ally into a wary partner. As David Blackmon https://blackmon.substack.com/p/has-india-made-its-geopolitical-choice?publication_id=712558&post_id=172564265&isFreemail=false&r=gr4yl&triedRedirect=true
in his Substack, India’s geopolitical choice may already be made, driven by the West’s own miscalculations.
Europe’s Self-Inflicted Wound
Europe’s plight is equally instructive. The EU, in its zeal to punish Russia, has “managed to pull off one of the greatest self-owns you could ever imagine”, as veteran journalist https://t.co/TzbSohcP8j
puts it. By severing ties with Russian gas — available at its doorstep at competitive prices — Europe has condemned itself to expensive LNG imports. Western sanctions intended to cripple Russia have instead crippled Europe’s economic vitality. The POS-2 deal exacerbates this.
Germany, once the engine of European growth, now faces https://dailysceptic.org/2024/12/27/germanys-economic-and-political-suicide/
, creating an energy and food crisis that has hit Europe hardest. While the end of cheap Russian gas is not the only factor in the economic malaise and social divisions facing Europe, it’s certainly a major contributor.
By redirecting Yamal gas to China, Russia not only secures a new market but also undermines US LNG exports. China’s reduced reliance on seaborne LNG — estimated at up to 40 million tons per annum (mtpa) once POS-2 is operational in the 2030s — deals a blow to US energy export ambitions. For context, 40 mtpa represent just over half of China’s https://www.world-energy.org/article/49739.html
of LNG in 2024. US tariff threats against China and talk of future military confrontation have only accelerated Beijing’s pivot to Russian gas, which is cheaper and secure from Western sanctions.
In a further twist, US Energy Secretary Chris Wright told the Financial Times in an https://www.ft.com/content/22f9fa8c-4641-4d7f-ac3b-5c16cbac5128
published on Monday that the European countries must halt imports of Russian oil and gas if they expect Washington to escalate sanctions against Moscow. He said that the Trump administration is prepared to invoke more sanctions on Putin and Russia, but it is contingent on EU countries halting their ongoing purchases of Russian oil and gas. Furthermore, the EU would also need to commit similar secondary sanctions as the US.
Whether the EU – with Germany, France and the UK teetering on the edge of economic and political crises – is capable of imposing secondary sanctions on large countries such as China, India, Brazil etc., without bringing even more harm on itself, is doubtful. Under current EU plans, the bloc will phase out Russian oil fully by 2028. It is also important to note that not all EU member states are on board in cutting energy links with Russia.
However, it would be ironic to blame Putin for German deindustrialisation, even though much of what passes for analysis in the mainstream media these days are variations of ‘Putin did it’. Germany was on the ‘green’ road to reducing the use of fossil fuels well before the Ukraine war. Cutting back on fossil fuels was a top priority of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energiewende
at which the German ruling class was already hard at work towards achieving since the Green party became a political force in the 1980s and 1990s.
The Unravelling of Brzezinski’s Legacy
At the heart of the geopolitical shifts signified in the Tianjin summit lies the failure of Zbigniew Brzezinski’s vision articulated in his 1997 book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grand_Chessboard
which straddled both Democrat and Republican administrations.
Brzezinski – National Security Advisor in the Carter administration – argued that US hegemony over the Eurasian landmass required severing the natural economic complementarity between Germany and Russia. The former provided manufacturing prowess in exchange for the latter’s cheap energy and other natural resources. By disrupting this relationship, the US aimed to prevent the emergence of a Eurasian Berlin-Moscow axis that would challenge its dominance.
The sanctions on Russia, escalated since 2014 (after the annexation of Crimea) and intensified after 2022 (after the invasion of Ukraine), were designed to cripple Russia’s economy, isolate it diplomatically, and pave the way for confronting China. The sanctions regime hasn’t worked, and the Russian economy is neither crippled nor isolated. There also seems to be no let-up in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7y9rlcWbZN8&pp=ygUVbGFycnkgam9obnNvbiB1a3JhaW5l
on the Ukrainian battlefront.
Brzezinski’s strategy has unravelled. By weaponising the US dollar and SWIFT, the West incentivised Russia, China, India and others in the Global South to diversify their financial systems as much as possible. By targeting Russia’s energy exports to Europe, the US handed Moscow the impetus to forge closer ties with Asia. And by alienating India with hypocritical tariffs, the US has pushed a key ally toward its adversaries.
It is not as if the historical and political differences among the three great Eurasian powers – China, India and Russia – will all be resolved quickly under the pressure of US and EU sanctions policies. Fundamental bilateral tensions among them will remain as limits to potential cooperation. But now, in the face of EU and US provocations on trade and political relations, the level of converging national interests among the three giant neighbours in Eurasia has created a new energy terrain on the ground.
The Tianjin summit and the POS-2 memorandum are not the end but the beginning of a realignment in energy flows in Eurasia. The permanent deflection of Russia’s Yamal gas supply – which was meant for Western Europe under Ostpolitik – to China reflects Brussels’s decline into geopolitical irrelevance and Germany’s vassalage to US interests. For the US, POS-2 puts a big hole on its LNG exports outlook as it loses a major market in China to Russian pipeline gas.
Brzezinski’s vision of US dominance in Eurasia – long the tenet of the US foreign policy establishment – has given way to a resilient Russia, a defiant India and a China poised for growing dominance in global manufacturing. The West’s hubris has sown the seeds of its own marginalisation, and the global energy map has changed irrevocably.

SEPTEMBER START:
We are full steam ahead again with various ministries. It has been about 2 weeks since churches have re-started their English outreach programs after a Summer break.
Pray with us for the Japanese church leaders and missionaries as we give ourselves to love and care for each one the Lord brings to these churches. May they truly encounter the Lord as the gospel is preached, and our hands and feet are used to touch their lives.
MINISTRIES

Majority Of Democrats Refuse To Support Resolution Rejecting Political Violence
Majority Of Democrats Refuse To Support Resolution Rejecting Political Violence
In a vote that exposed the dark side of the majority of Democrats, the House on Friday passed a resolution honoring slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk and rejecting the political violence of recent years. The passage, however, was not without substantial opposition.
The vote was 310-58, with 95 Democrats joining all 215 Republicans in voting yes on the nonbinding resolution. The 58 no votes all came from Democrats, but another 38 Democrats voted present (would not take an open side) and another 22 Democrats did not vote. In other words, 118 Democrats in Congress https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/democrats-oppose-resolution-honoring-charlie-kirk-condemning-political-rcna232150
.
?itok=e3kxn49c
The resolution passed nine days after a gunman assassinated the 31-year-old Kirk while he was speaking to a large crowd at Utah Valley University. Kirk was a co-founder of Turning Point USA, which helped turn out the youth vote for Donald Trump in 2024. The alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson, is a confirmed leftist living with his transgender boyfriend. The assassination was followed by mass online celebration by a large contingent of leftists.
Democrat leaders have sought to hide or downplay both of these facts, while continuing to suggest that Kirk deserved to die because of his political positions.
New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), who has continued to portray Kirk as a "racist" since his death, argued against the resolution, claiming that it would "bring great pain" to millions of Americans affected by the Jim Crow era. Many Democrats continue to take Kirk's comments out of context as a way to defame his memory (a subtle rationalization for his murder).
🚨BREAKING: AOC just ridiculed Charlie Kirk and said the resolution to honor his life and legacy brings "great pain" to millions of Americans.
"His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans." https://t.co/ZjvfPZY5HG

This response from Democrat politicians is not surprising given their cold reception to the idea of a silent prayer for Kirk in Congress immediately after his murder. Some Democrats can be heard yelling "No!" and rejecting calls for the prayer as the Speaker Mike Johnson demands order.
Democratic Members of Congress have just objected for a prayer to be said out loud for Charlie Kirk.
This is evil.https://t.co/Q5qPVlALIU

This behavior and the refusal to condemn political violence is yet more proof that the extremism of the political left is not limited to a "fringe minority" of activists - It is a cancer that has metastasized all the way to the top of the Democratic Party.
One can theorize all day as to why so many Democrats refused to put their names on the resolution and at the very least signal that they do not condone the actions of politically motivated assassins. However, consider the fact that leftists have lost the elections, lost the young male vote, lost the overall debate and they are losing the culture war. They may see violence as the only viable avenue left for them to regain power.

Goldman Raises Tesla Delivery Estimates, Notes Improving Brand Sentiment
Goldman Raises Tesla Delivery Estimates, Notes Improving Brand Sentiment
Wall Street analysts are chasing Tesla stock as it trades above $400 a share, following news that Elon Musk https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/tesla-soars-after-musk-buys-billion-dollars-worth-stock
$1 billion worth of shares to start the week.
Looking ahead, Tesla's third-quarter delivery report is expected in less than two weeks, and Goldman analysts have raised both their delivery estimates and price targets. Goldman's data also shows sentiment around Tesla has improved after plunging earlier this year, when the https://www.zerohedge.com/political/follow-money-ex-wsj-journalist-reveals-24-organizations-funding-tesla-takedown?fbclid=IwY2xjawJWVaRleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHV_ZN_N3mFJfYEYFhKaaHRbKtm7mSDV7Hnd8Gw_voeSLB7z9F0jtlyTyng_aem_ie4EUhXZLpWpTBMEP1_uMg
waged war on Musk over his DOGE efforts.
Members of the Socialist Rifle Association have been charged in the attack on the ICE facility in Alvaredo, TX in which a police officer was shot in the neck, and in two firebombings of Tesla dealerships (political attacks against https://twitter.com/elonmusk?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

A team of analysts led by Mark Delaney upgraded their third- and fourth-quarter delivery estimates for Tesla vehicles:
3Q25: 455K (prev. 430K; consensus 439K)
4Q25: 450K (prev. 443K; consensus 441K)
2026: Unchanged at 1.865M, in line with consensus
"We attribute the better 2H volumes in part to the recent Model Y L launch, in part based on somewhat better consumer survey data, and in part with IRA EV purchase credits set to expire on 9/30/25," Delaney wrote in a note to clients.
?itok=k1wCByHG
Even with the upgraded quarterly delivery estimates, Delaney's team maintains a "Neutral" rating on the stock. However, they raised their 12-month price target to $395 from $300. Here's the explanation:
We remain Neutral rated on the stock. Longer term, we expect Tesla to grow its EPS driven in part by larger contributions from autonomy and robotics, although our base case expectation for profits in these areas is more measured than the company is targeting. As we detail in this note, we estimate that its 2030 EPS could be ~$2-3 to ~$20 (although we acknowledge there are outcomes beyond these ranges), and what we consider to be a middle of the road type scenario implies ~$7-$9 of EPS in 2030 and an EPS CAGR of ~40-50%. Given the move higher in market multiples more generally, as well as the growth rate we believe the business can support over the longer term, plus the increases we make to our forward EPS estimates, we raise our 12-month price target to $395 from $300. If Tesla can have outsized share in areas such as humanoid robotics and autonomy, then there could be upside to our price target, although if competition limits profits (as is happening with the ADAS market in China) or Tesla does not execute well, then there could be downside.
New consumer survey data from HundredX and Morning Consult, which tracks net purchase intent and net buzz around the vehicle brand, shows sentiment improving. Earlier this year, Democratic Party–aligned dark-money-funded NGOs waged an informational war against Tesla over Musk's involvement with DOGE, but with that propaganda campaign subsiding many months ago, consumers appear to be returning to the brand.

App downloads are also showing a promising inflection point for the brand.
