Oh, I was thinking it could be two interlocking ones to represent the computer and the user sides of the icon

While also opening up options for U.S. oil producers, who have been squeezed by OPECs low price levels. Maybe fewer U.S. oil and gas bankruptcies this year and considerably higher prices at the pump. It’s like magic tariffs all over again.

1/ Vladimir Putin's heavy investment in the regime of Venezuelan former President Nicolás Maduro has been a costly and disastrous failure, according to Russian commentators. They admit that Russia is too weak to stop its allies from being picked off one by one by the West. ⬇️

China has taken seriously the high bars set for European consumer safety (Euro NCAP) and their local C-NCAP. Meanwhile the Cybertruck is nowhere near street legal in the EU. Different signals.
