The Trump administration knows that the universities - with their focus on independent, critical research - are a threat to their corporate, theocratic and ultranationalist fundamentalism.
The universities have always been important players in the cultural revolutions of America, so they have to be brought to heel. They have to become propaganda tools for MAGA "patriotism".
The Trump administration will freeze over $2 billion in federal funds because Harvard refused to comply with a list of demands. Harvard leaders believed saying no was worth the risk.
If the universities fall, free media will fall and if free media fall, free speech is over. That means an end to US democracy.

The Tesla Cybercab is likely to be a sales dud, according to Tesla.

One of the first assumptions was that the U.S. car market could shrink from 15 million a year to roughly 3 million because Robotaxis would be used for five times as many hours as privately owned cars, which sit in driveways and parking lots most of the time. Then the analysts subtracted Americans who wouldn’t switch to a driverless EV.

Then the analysts subtracted Americans who wouldn’t switch to a driverless EV. These included people in rural parts of the country who often travel vast distances that are impractical for Robotaxis; suburbanites with kids and complicated pickup and drop-off schedules; and active people who routinely cart around a surfboard or a mountain bike. That pushed probable annual Robotaxi sales well below 1 million vehicles a year. “There is ultimately a saturation of people who want to be ferried around in somebody else’s car,” said one person familiar with the situation.
