Trump's FCC Chair: Musk Skeptics Have Lost Big Money

Former FCC Chair under Trump stated that skeptics of Elon Musk's ventures have incurred significant financial losses, highlighting the volatility and risk associated with investing in high-profile technology and media figures. This sentiment may influence risk appetite among investors, particularly in sectors tied to Musk's companies, such as electric vehicles and social media platforms. Stocks related to Musk, including Tesla and Twitter, could experience increased volatility as traders reassess their positions based on public sentiment and regulatory developments. Market participants will likely keep an eye on Musk's upcoming announcements or product launches, which could serve as catalysts for price movements in these assets.

HIGH-impact news is typically a market-moving event with multi-pip or multi-percent intraday reactions. Examples include central bank rate decisions, major CPI/NFP releases, geopolitical shocks, mega-cap earnings beats/misses, and regulatory announcements. Traders typically position-reduce or hedge ahead of scheduled HIGH-impact events, and follow the wire in real time to react to unscheduled ones (war headlines, central-bank emergency statements, surprise corporate actions). The Trading News Terminal squawk box reads every HIGH-impact headline aloud the moment it hits the wire — so active traders don't have to stare at the feed.

Active traders typically follow a three-step workflow when a market-moving headline hits the wire: (1) read the headline on the terminal or hear it on the squawk box; (2) assess whether the news is already priced in (by checking intraday price action in the seconds before) or whether it's genuinely new information; (3) act — either entering a breakout position, fading an overreaction, or tightening stops on existing trades. Trading News Terminal's Pro plan delivers wire-grade headlines within seconds of the source, with automatic audio squawk on every HIGH-impact event, so the read-assess-act cycle never waits on a refresh button.
