Europe stares down a fuel abyss. Fatih Birol, head of the International Energy Agency, laid it bare in a Paris interview: “In Europe, we have maybe six weeks or so (of) jet fuel left.” Without the Strait of Hormuz reopening, flights from city A to city B vanish soon.

  Senator Elizabeth Warren fired off a pointed letter to Elon Musk on April 14, 2026, demanding answers on X Money’s imminent April launch.
