What’s going on with Tesla stock?

The content of this article was relevant at the time of publishing. Circumstances change continuously and caution should therefore be exercised when relying upon any content contained within this article.

Here’s why I believe Tesla stock turmoil isn’t just co-founder Elon Musk’s fault, and why it isn’t as dire as it first seems.

To say that 2022 was a rough year for Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is something of an understatement. In fact, it was its worst on record and has got some commentators announci

What Is Tom Tugendhat's Net Worth In 2022?

MP Tom Tugendhat is aiming to succeed Boris Johnson as the leader of the Conservative party and Prime Minister of the UK.

Having never held a cabinet position, and widely regarded as an outside ticket, it is not likely he will succeed in his bid, but nevertheless, we will hear increasingly more from the former lieutenant colonel in the coming weeks.

The MP for Tonbridge and Malling’s star had been rising slowly but surely as he first took office in 2015.

What is Love? Philosopher Simon May explains

I came across May's book Love: A History, quite by chance in a charity book shop. I was Immediately intrigued by why a history was even necessary – surely there is nothing more universal and natural than love?

The musings of modern luminaries like Cardi B are only the latest iteration in a line that goes back to the Hebrew

Nathan Law: “we’re not entitled to lose hope”

In the seventh century BC, Thrasybulus, the brutal tyrant of Miletus was asked how he managed to maintain his throne. He responded by taking the man on a walk through a field of wheat, stopping to scythe down the tallest and best plants. The message conveyed was that the tyrant pre-empted challenges to power by removing those outstanding individuals powerful or brave enough to threaten him. This ancient parable told in the oldest work of history is just as relevant to despots today as in antiqui

Dr Philip Rushbrook: joining the real world

When Napoleon first beheld the island of St Helena, the site of his second and final exile, it is said that the emperor contemplated it in dread silence. This has defined its place in our imaginations since; the rocky prison where Bonaparte spent the remainder of his life, shivering and slowly succumbing to illness. This dot of Britain lost in the blue immensity of the South Atlantic between Angola and Brazil has been inhabited by thousands for more than two hundred years since. I spoke with Dr

Edith Hall: “if you can’t be a proper moral agent, then you’re never going to be truly happy”

Edith Hall is one of our greatest experts on the vanished universe of Aristotle and Aristophanes, author of 30 plus books, and frequent television and radio contributor. Yet she still lives very firmly in our own world, as she campaigns tirelessly for a just Classics bereft of the classism that has long plagued the discipline. Profile initially spoke to Edith about her bestselling book, Aristotle's Way. It was mesmeric to hear Aristotelian wisdom freed from dusty, leather-bound volumes to be so

Travels with Long Covid: an itinerary in books

In June, having unfortunately succumbed to ;long Covid', my summer took on a shape I did not imagine after I had finished my third year. However, my itinerary has been no less exciting than I first imagined, and actually involved much more travelling. When you read, the concerns of your body dissipate as your mind contemplates the contents of the pages. It is an exercise that requires only rational faculties, which mercifully survived the onslaughts of the virus. Reading enabled me to escape my
