There is a certain irony in the bravado about the Ten Commandments from Gov. On Saturday he told attendees at a Republican fund-raiser, “I can’t wait to be sued.” Clearly, he knows that the Supreme Court previously ruled against mandatory displays of the Ten Commandments in the classroom. In a 1980 case, Stone v. Graham, the Supreme Court struck down a Kentucky law that required the posting of the Ten Commandments, purchased through private donations, in every classroom in the state. A Louisiana law requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in every public classroom in the state defies this precedent, so, yes, the state will be sued. So we’re seeing a flurry of culture-war-motivated state laws, many of them aimed at the First Amendment, that confront precedent.

In the eyes of Whole Foods co-founder John Mackey, Jeff Bezos is a "brilliant man" — all because of a few price cuts at the grocery chain. Whole Foods was struggling with declining sales when Bezos' Amazon bought the grocery chain for $13.7 billion in 2017. Shoppers were already looking elsewhere after larger, less expensive rivals like Walmart started stocking more organic foods to appeal to Whole Foods' target customers. That included producing a greater number of products from Whole Foods' in-house 365 brand, which Amazon also started selling online. "I hardly ever hear the 'whole paycheck' narrative any longer—that's due to Amazon," Mackey said.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk claimed on Thursday that his company's Optimus humanoid robots could eventually make the automaker worth more than half of that. As for shareholder value, Musk said Optimus could be the catalyst for lifting Tesla's market cap to $25 trillion someday. The company, he predicted, will have "over 1,000, or a few thousand, Optimus robots working at Tesla" in 2025. Getting to a $25 trillion market cap would mean that Tesla would be worth about eight times Apple's value today. He did say that autonomous vehicles could get the company to a market cap of $5 trillion to $7 trillion.
