Move Fast and Break Things? More Like Break Stocks!
Alright folks Zuck here. Heard about Liberty Energy's stock taking a nosedive? Down 30% in two days? Ouch. That's gotta sting. Reminds me of when I first launched Facebook... just kidding! We were always soaring. But seriously seeing a company founded by Trump's former Energy Secretary take a hit like this...it's like watching a bad episode of 'Succession'. And I'm a big fan of 'Succession'.
From Zuckerberg's Dorm to Oil Fields: What's the Connection?
Okay okay I know what you're thinking: What does a tech guy from Harvard know about oil? Not much I admit. But I do know a thing or two about disruption. And apparently so does Trump... disrupting global energy markets that is. According to some energy expert named Saul Kavonic (never heard of him but MST Marquee sounds legit) low oil prices are going to make those Texas and Louisiana folks think twice about drilling. Zuckerberg's Law: More drilling more problems? I made that up. Sue me.
Shale We Dance? More Like Shale We Panic!
So this Chris Wright guy who used to be Energy Secretary apparently told CNBC that Americans could look forward to lower oil prices under Trump. Well he was right about the lower prices but I bet Liberty Energy wasn't exactly cheering. It's like that time I promised everyone privacy on Facebook... lessons learned folks lessons learned.
Trade Wars: Not Just for Geeks Anymore!
Turns out this whole trade war thing is messing with energy stocks. Who knew tariffs could be so disruptive? It's like when Facebook changed its algorithm... everyone freaked out. Except this time instead of cat videos disappearing it's oil prices plummeting. The chaos inducing tariff rollout seems to be having its effect.
OPEC+ and the Art of the Deal (Gone Wrong)
And then there's OPEC+ deciding to pump out more oil. Great timing guys! Really helps those U.S. shale producers who let's be honest are already struggling. It's like when I launched the Metaverse... right when everyone was craving real world connection. Timing is everything people! Even when pioneering technologies knowing your timing can save the idea and allow it to thrive at the right time!
Connecting the Dots: From Boom to Bust?
So Liberty Energy's stock went up when Wright got the Energy Secretary gig. Classic case of market optimism. Now they're worth $2.1 billion down from $2.7 billion. Ron Gusek the CEO is about to drop the Q1 financial results. My advice? Brace yourselves. And maybe buy some Meta stock. Just sayin'. You know my other quote right? The biggest risk is not taking any risk… In a world that is changing really quickly the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.

Trade wars are dumb. Can't we all just get along and share cat videos?
