The global AI arms race keeps heating up…
A recent Business Insider report reveals that OpenAI and Claude are offering government agency trials to use their AI tools for just $1 for the entire year.
That’s right. $1.
Keep in mind, back in 2023, tech research firm SemiAnalysis estimated that running ChatGPT costs around $700,000 per day.
And that was before the explosive advances in hardware, infrastructure, and model complexity we’ve seen since.
So why are these firms effectively giving away AI that costs hundreds of millions to operate?
Simple: they’re willing to lose money to win the war.
And make no mistake.
This is a war.
One that could decide which nation leads the next century economically, technologically, and militarily.
Because while American firms are racing to expand AI dominance, China is right there on our heels – backed by their state-sponsored AI labs, massive chip investment, and global resource grabs.
This is no longer about chatbots. This is about controlling what will soon become the backbone of our entire economy.
And according to a critical new broadcast from Porter Stansberry and Jeff Brown, Washington is already moving into wartime mode – invoking executive powers, slashing red tape, and funneling trillions of taxpayer money into a rapid economic mobilization.
Tesla Bulls Need to Tread Very Carefully Right Now
Written by Sam Quirke. Published 9/2/2025.
Shares of Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) fell 3.5% on Friday ahead of the Labor Day weekend, leaving bulls on the defensive. The decline capped a challenging second half of the week and once again raised doubts about whether TSLA's rally, which began in April, can continue.
Technically, the uptrend remains intact: Tesla broke out of the tightening pennant pattern flagged last month, driving the stock to short-term highs. However, it continues to encounter stiff resistance between $350 and $360, with failed breakouts in May, June and August.
Repeated failures at these levels are troubling for a stock that still trades about 30% below its all-time high and carries a hefty price-to-earnings ratio of 193. So, how bad could it get? Here's what to watch.
Sales Weakness Spreading
Forget Tesla — This Tiny AI Stock Is Musk's Real Play (Ad)
While Wall Street focused on Tesla's earnings, Elon Musk was quietly building a supercomputer so powerful it could transform warfare, robotics, and the global economy. But you don't need to buy Tesla or wait for xAI to IPO to benefit.
One overlooked public company is supplying the critical tech behind Musk's AI push — and it trades for a fraction of Nvidia's price. Hedge funds are already loading up, but most investors haven't noticed yet.
Key Points
- Tesla’s uptrend since April is intact, but resistance around $350–$360 is proving a tricky level to break through.
- Weak sales figures are still a factor, which, along with strong competition, is weighing on sentiment.
- In addition, there are signs that analysts are starting to cool, making this a delicate time to be a Tesla bull.
Fundamentally, the chart's hesitation echoes disappointing sales updates. Tesla registrations in Sweden plunged 84% year-over-year in August, while European deliveries slid roughly 40% in July. Early sales in India, where Tesla launched this summer, have also fallen short of expectations.
The company faces stiff competition, lingering brand challenges tied to CEO Elon Musk and a lack of significant model updates. Management has pledged that "volume production" of a more affordable EV will start by year-end. While this could rekindle demand, it leaves Tesla vulnerable to market-share losses in the interim. In the meantime, traditional automakers are pressing harder into the EV space, eroding Tesla's erstwhile dominance.
EV Demand Headwinds
Investors are also weighing broader EV demand headwinds. Industry data indicates slowing adoption in key markets, driven largely by consumer affordability constraints.
That dynamic compounds Tesla's challenges, given its narrow product line. Unlike some peers that can offset weakness in one segment with strength in another, Tesla has limited diversification to absorb a cyclical downturn.
Analyst Conviction Cooling
Despite resilient Wall Street support for much of this year, analyst conviction is now showing cracks. The Goldman Sachs team reiterated its Neutral rating in late August, warning Tesla could be disproportionately affected by the upcoming expiration of U.S. federal EV tax credits. They also cited intensifying competition as a near-term barrier to further upside.
With few fresh positive catalysts from major research teams, Tesla bulls have little ammunition to sustain a rally.
Critical Levels to Watch
Technically, Tesla sits in a precarious spot. Having repeatedly failed to break above $360, it now risks testing support near $320 if selling pressure persists. A decisive break below that level would undermine the April uptrend and open the door to a deeper pullback.
Conversely, if TSLA can hold current levels and mount another assault on $350 – $360, a clear, high-volume breakout above this range would help revive the bullish case. Until then, investors will need to see strong follow-through before assuming the uptrend will resume.
