    The article goes deeper, but this is the gist:

    At 02:01:33 am UTC on January 18, a crypto trader identified only by their wallet address—an alphanumeric string ending in J9tXv—purchased $1.1 million worth of TRUMP, a new cryptocurrency launched by US president Donald Trump. The trade stands out partly for its size but mostly for its timing: Trump had publicly unveiled the coin barely two minutes earlier.

    In the minutes immediately after the announcement, other traders purchased similarly large amounts of TRUMP: One invested $500,000, two others $250,000 apiece, and another $50,000. Like J9tXv, their identities are concealed behind their crypto wallet addresses.

    As the hours passed, word spread, investors piled in, and the price of TRUMP ballooned. At its peak, the value of the circulating coins exceeded $14 billion. The early traders, who by now had made a killing, began to cash out.

    On January 18, J9tXv moved their entire TRUMP stash to another wallet. The lion’s share of the coins were then diverted to yet further wallets and mostly sold. The remainder were sold the following day across nine transactions, which brought in more than $30 million. In all, the original trade returned many tens of millions of dollars in profit.

    So this is a capital gain of nearly 29,000,000 dollars. Does the IRS have a way to know who profited?

    I doubt the government would allow folks to have any kind of currency without knowing who to tax.

    The suit's capabilities extend far beyond basic electromagnetic shielding. It deflects mid and long-wave infrared radiation, rendering the wearer invisible to infrared cameras in low-light conditions. The silver-infused fabric also provides antimicrobial protection, potentially reducing the risk of bacterial transmission.

    It has a hood. Maybe they think it has military applications.

    John @IndustMech has a close-up picture of one of these.

    Hmm

    As the video illustrates, the trim piece that flew off of his truck is connected to a plastic frame bolted directly to the car; that trim piece, he says, is stuck to the frame with adhesive rather than welded or bolted to anything. That adhesive has seemingly failed in multiple places on his truck, leading to the loosened roofline trim panels.

    The trim piece may not be the only part of the truck that is effectively secured only with adhesive: Tomasko says he believes other components, including the truck's quarter panels, also seem to be held on this way, and that those components maybe vulnerable to the same sort of failure. Tomasko's video illustrates a similar adhesive problem on different parts of each of his truck's two quarter panels. The customer-owned truck in his video also appears to show similar adhesive problems on both of its quarter panels, as well as the tailgate, but the latter is also welded on at points.

    Tomasko estimates that he has wrapped "30 to 35" Cybertrucks. He tells R&T that he has seen signs of adhesive problems on "five to seven" trucks, including his own truck

    A Cybertruck owner says he recently took his truck in for service because of a noise complaint.

    However, he adds that Tesla turned him back and stated that the only way to lower the loud noise was to apply tape over the body panels.
