⌨The newspapers report on the spectacular breakdown of the Trump-Musk relationship reaching its climax, with both men engaging in public warfare that has caused Tesla to lose 150 billion dollars in market capitalization (BFMTV, Le Figaro, Le Monde, Le Parisien, L'Express, Libération, Mediapart).

The Socialist Party congress concludes with Olivier Faure narrowly retaining his position as first secretary with 50.9% of votes in what Le Parisien describes as a night of "imbroglio" before his razor-thin morning victory (Le Parisien, Le Point, Libération, Valeurs Actuelles). Le Point highlights the party's doctrinal confusion following the congress, noting the campaign focused on strategy and casting while leaving ideological reflection aside.
