Trump slams Musk’s party launch as “utterly ridiculous.” On July 7, President Trump said Elon Musk’s move to start a new U.S. political party is absurd and will only add chaos. “I think starting a third party is ridiculous… it’ll just add to the chaos. He can have his fun, but I think it’s ridiculous,” Trump told reporters before boarding Air Force One in New Jersey. On social media, Trump said Musk has been “off the rails” for the past five weeks—like a train wreck. He added that it’s inappropriate for a close friend of Musk’s to run NASA, as Musk is deeply involved in the space industry and NASA is crucial to his business.

U.S. Commerce Secretary: Tariffs to take effect August 1, Trump setting rates and deals. Trump said he’s reached some trade agreements and will send letters to other countries notifying them of tariff hikes. Commerce Secretary Lutnick told reporters that steeper tariffs will take effect August 1, with Trump “currently setting the rates and deals.” In April, Trump announced a 10% baseline tariff on most countries, plus up to 50% on some, and later pushed most effective dates to July 9 (except the 10% rate). Lutnick’s comments imply a three-week “grace period.” Treasury Secretary Besant echoed that August 1 is the date for countries without deals but denied it’s a hard deadline.

UAE: Golden Visa eligibility does not include crypto investors. UAE authorities denied claims circulating online that the country is offering golden visas to crypto investors. Official criteria cover property investors and top talent, but not crypto. The SCA reiterated that digital assets are regulated separately. Previously, TON Foundation CEO Max Crown claimed on X that “TON stakers can get a 10-year UAE golden visa—DM me.” This appears to be false.
