This week's "Who Said It" involves the ocean — or is it "see" like vision? Either way, someone very important has some very confident statistics about it, and we start there.

Tesla is pushing past $400 despite a recall on 220,000 cars — and the way Tesla handles recalls versus every other automaker is actually worth a conversation. There's also a trademark filing that tells you something big is coming, if you believe in the power of paperwork over timelines.

Russia's Victory Day parade is almost here and the optics are not great — no military hardware, a stunt driver rehearsing something that defies several laws of physics, and diplomats being quietly asked to leave Kyiv before things get interesting. Meanwhile, after a phone call with Putin, Pete Hegseth announced the withdrawal of thousands of US troops from Germany. Totally unrelated, we're sure.

The White House ballroom saga has a new chapter — what started as a $200 million private donor project is now a $1 billion taxpayer bill hitching a ride on a border security package, and the design plans have us asking some serious questions about who exactly is supposed to get lost in the basement. Oh, and a Luxembourg steel company is providing the materials, which pairs nicely with the US Steel deal we'll explain.

The Trump sons have a new business venture in the drone interceptor space — and the timeline of when they joined the board, when the Air Force signed a contract, and what company they're merging with is one of the more brazenly entertaining conflict of interest stories we've covered. And the IOC has some thoughts on Belarus that we have some thoughts about.

This week's "Who Said It" is a business quote that aged in a very funny direction — once you find out who said it and what happened next, you'll understand why we opened with it.

Tesla's back on the move and this time there's actually something real behind it — the first Tesla Semi rolled off the line with some genuinely impressive specs. We break down the numbers, what it could mean for the industry, and why we're cautiously optimistic with an asterisk. Then there's the SpaceX IPO filing with a clause so brazen it makes you do a double take — Elon Musk has essentially structured it so that the only person who can fire Elon Musk... is Elon Musk.

On the war front, Ukraine had a very productive week before anyone started talking ceasefires — a missile ship, a patrol boat, a shadow fleet tanker, a refinery, and oh, a drone that made it six miles from the Kremlin. Then both sides announced ceasefires — on completely different dates — and we have some questions about how that's supposed to work. There's also a pointed warning to Belarus that tells you everything you need to know about how much the situation on the ground has shifted.

An aid flotilla got intercepted by the Israeli Navy in international waters — 600 miles from Gaza — and the Jerusalem Post's headline about it is genuinely one for the ages. We read it so you don't have to.

NASA's new chief wants to give Pluto its planet status back, and we have a disagreement brewing. Trump gave Zambia a deadline that made our jaws drop. And May Day is tomorrow — 750 events planned, an economic blackout underway, and we have some thoughts on whether this or another approach has been more effective lately.

This week's "Who Said It" is about a ballroom — and once you hear who said it and why, the rest of the episode starts to make a lot more sense.

Elon just got a $114 billion payday courtesy of the courts, and we actually have some thoughts on this one that might surprise you. Ukraine hit the Tuapse oil refinery for the third time — Putin had some environmental concerns to share about that, which we found very rich coming from the man who flew a drone into a nuclear reactor's protective shell. Sunday was also the 40th anniversary of Chornobyl, so we revisit why that place is relevant right now in ways it really shouldn't be.

A sanctioned Russian oligarch's half-billion dollar yacht just sailed through the Strait of Hormuz — the heart of the US-Iran conflict — without a hitch. Nobody's explaining how that happened, but we have a theory.

Spirit Airlines is apparently on the bailout wishlist, and the history of what happens when Trump gets his hands on an airline is genuinely one of the funniest cautionary tales in American business history. We tell it in full, including the part about the Chinooks.

The White House ballroom fight is back, and Lindsay Graham wants your tax dollars for "military stuff" and a teacup set. Then a very convenient security incident popped up at the White House Correspondents' Dinner that raises some eyebrows — we break down exactly what people caught on camera, including a human shield, a champagne grab, and someone who just kept taking pictures through the whole thing.

We close with a thought on what to do with the Trumpers who are finally starting to have regrets — and our answer might just bring everyone back together.
