Gerber’s comment on the company arrives on the back of a TechCrunch report in May that Bezos' direct role may be shrinking after Melinda Lewison , head of investments for Bezos Expeditions, left Slate's board. Slate Auto unveiled the truck in April 2025. According to the company’s website, the base model skips a traditional paint job, power windows and a stereo, keeping costs down through a simpler platform that buyers can modify. It has an estimated 150-mile range from a 52.7-kWh battery and a payload capacity of about 1,400 pounds. A larger battery option is expected to raise the range to about 240 miles. The startup that aims to undercut Tesla’s Cybertruck also revealed it has secured more than 160,000 reservations for its first product, a customizable pickup expected to start at around $25,000. Slate raised $650 million last month in a Series C round led by TWG Global to support the launch of its first vehicles later this year. The company had earlier raised more than $111 million in Series A funding from Jeff Bezos and other high-profile investors, including Mark Walter. Still Learning the Market?

Thicha Satapitanon/iStock via Getty Images The last time I spoke about NRx Pharmaceuticals ( NRXP ) it was with a Seeking Alpha article entitled " NRx Pharmaceuticals: Potential For First In Bipolar Depression Suicidal Ideation Treatment, Along As Covid-19 Play ." With respect to this article, I mentioned that the company was evaluating the use of ZYESAMI for the treatment of hospitalized patients with Covid-19 from the ACTIV-3b study. The hope was that the company would achieve positive results from this study and then able to file an NDA for approval of this drug for these patients in the 2nd half of 2022. Unfortunately, the company did not do that well in being able to treat these Covid-19 patients or improve upon survival outcomes. Upon completion of an interim analysis of 460 patients, it was noted that ZYESAMI did not significantly improve clinical outcomes or 90-day survival rates compared to the placebo group. The last time I had a "Buy" rating on this stock, and I'm going to downgrade this company to a "Sell" rating for this one reason for starters. However, that's not the only reason for this rating. The second reason is because the company saw another failure, which was the use of an oral fixed-dose combination of D-cycloserine and lurasidone [NRX101] to help treat suicidal bipolar depression in a phase 2b/3 study. While the drug versus lurasidone [LATUDA] was shown to demonstrate a 33% reduction in suicidality, the effect was not achieved in a statistically significant manner . Where the company might be able to stage a comeback would be on the basis of its two preservative-free intravenous [IV] ketamine programs. One program deals with KETAFREE as a generic type of drug to act as a preservative-free option of Ketamine. Also to address the supply issues that ketamine faces as well. The FDA accepted the abbreviated New Drug Application [NDA] of KETAFREE in December of 2025, and a decision is expected by Q3 of 2026 [summer of 2026]. A second possible way w...
