Good morning, Daily Money crew, it's Nathan wishing you a happy Tuesday.

🚗Last night I covered Tesla's first-quarter earnings call. Any business reporter who's been on a Tesla call can tell you that it's unlike any other corporate earnings call. CEO Elon Musk does things his own way – and that usually means talking without a script and often going on tangents. It might frustrate some, but he certainly has a knack for making news. More on that below.

On to our ... 

💡 INSIGHT OF THE DAY: A little risk can go a long way. If you invest $300 a month in bonds at a 4% interest rate, you'd have $342,000 after 40 years. If you invest the same amount in stocks at an 8% rate, you'd have $932,000 after 40 years. Does that mean you should put all your money in stocks? Probably not. Consider diversifying your portfolio by investing in a mix of the two to give yourself the upside of stocks and the stability of bonds.

📰 Here are our top stories:

1. Do you hate those personalized Facebook ads? With Apple's latest update, you'll be required to opt-in if you want them. The change is intended to provide more privacy options to iPhone users.

2. Your manager tells you to keep quiet about the fact that your restaurant is likely to close. Should you tell your coworkers? I'm not sure I agree with the advice of our HR expert.

3. Ford is still dealing with the fallout from its defective transmissions. This couple got more than $49,000 for theirs.

4. Tesla CEO Elon Musk blasted journalists for what he called "completely false" reports about a deadly crash. But one of his engineering executives acknowledged that the company has so far been unable to assess all of the data from the incident.

5. Roku is taking on Google. The company is threatening to kick YouTube TV off its platform due to a dispute over Google's terms.

Is it just me, or does it seem like there's always some sort of dispute going on among all the TV streaming, broadcast and telecommunications companies?
