US media: Trump's personnel director may be an important factor in the split between Trump and Ma

according to the US media Axios, Sergio Gor, the personnel manager of the Trump administration, may be a key figure in the Trump-Musk rift.

On Elon Musk's last day as a special government employee, Sergio Gor provided Trump with "dirt" on Jared Isaacman's donations to the Democratic Party. Isaacman is the NASA director nominee strongly supported by Musk and is crucial to Musk's Mars colonization plan.

This is not a coincidence. According to informed sources, Gor and Musk had disagreements on personnel appointments throughout the transition period. In March, Musk suspected Gor of leaking information from a cabinet meeting to The New York Times, further deteriorating their relationship. Sources say Gor let others know he wanted to retaliate against Musk.

Reportedly, Sergio Gor is one of the most influential Trump advisors in the White House, and he co-founded Winning Team Publishing with Donald Trump Jr. The publishing house publishes books by Trump and his allies, and provided much-needed funding for him during his isolation after the Capitol riot on January 6.

  • Grayscale: Zcash Mining Profits 2-4 Times Higher than Bitcoin with Hashrate Growth Exceeding 2.5 Times This Year

    According to Grayscale's research director Zach Pandl, Zcash mining profits have surged significantly due to the strong performance of ZEC prices. Data shows that the total daily miner rewards on the Bitcoin network are approximately $35 million, while for Zcash, it is about $2 million. However, the daily earnings per mining machine for Zcash are about twice that of Bitcoin, with earnings per megawatt-hour being approximately four times higher, even surpassing some AI/high-performance computing cloud services. The high profits have driven an increase in mining activities, with Zcash's total hashrate growing over 2.5 times this year, creating a virtuous cycle of 'rising coin prices → increased mining → enhanced network security → supporting coin prices.' The calculations are based on an electricity price of $0.05 per kilowatt-hour and the Bitmain Z15 Pro mining machine operating at full capacity, with data as of September 9.
