Count this one that never voted for Trump.

D from top to bottom of the ticket

With a huge side helping of mafia style blackmail. They stopped hiding it a long time ago.

[bows] you’re too kind, I do what I can.

I won’t totally disagree. But a lot of employees will lose their jobs and an innovative competitor would leave the market. Maybe a middle ground would be like, a hostile takeover bid that also merged them with Rivian or something. Then a rename to “eXla” just to fuck with Elon :)

In an IDEAL world, Musk will be removed as CEO for both failure to perform (he’s literally not doing his job given that he’s doing all his DOGshitE) and the harm he’s bringing to the brand. No other CEO would be allowed to get away with this.

Then, in a JUST world the stock will stabilize, start to grow again, and everyone will get back on the EV train with Tesla included. While the Muskrat watches from the sidelines like the loser he is.

CAVEAT: only if he also doesn’t still own any more of the stock than he could get owning VTSAX like the rest of us.

You know, I had a gut reaction to your post, “If it’s in the law they have to honor it!”

But then I remembered what timeline we’re in. The one where congress and the courts have abdicated themselves to the Executive Branch. The one where there is nothing to stop the Republicans in congress from making promises, putting them into the budget, Trump flatly denying it (aka Impoundment), and congress and the courts not pushing back.

It can 100% happen and we have the evidence and precedent now to prove it.

I don’t believe you. PROVE IT!!!

You bet your ass it is!

Doesn’t matter. They are good enough to justify denial of clearance which means loss of job.

I have no faith that lawsuits will prevail here based on precedence supporting polygraphs as a credibility and suitability discriminator.

“But still [he] persisted!”

Hell there are businesses already building a local stockpile of raw materials and part; been doing this for MONTHS. Other’s not accepting long-term contracts that might bankrupt them if they are caught having to fulfill them post-tariff.

This all adds to the cost of doing business even if the tariffs never happen. Guess who pays since most everyone has to do it (read: there’s no competition when all the players pay the vig!)

So here’s the thing, I am 99.99% with you on your sentiment.

But then I have to ask myself, “HOW TF is that even possible? Or was there more to it? Was that the plan ? Did he gain something bigger from doing it?”

I’m not saying he’s some genius we just can’t comprehend. I’m saying he’s a criminal and I wouldn’t put anything off the table.

But yeah, he’s probably just that shitty at business; but still? I hate this timeline.

No, they are not the only ones. Everyone that complained both choices sucked. Everyone who sat out in protest. Everyone that cast a protest vote…FUCK YOU ALL!!!

Por Que No Los Dos?

Ummm yes, literally what you wrote. A honeypot FOR ICE; if all the ICE agents show up where they are told there will be a bunch of immigrants but there’s just one middle aged white guy named Jim Bob, then everyone else is safe.

muwahahahah

Something about a leopard? I think, who knows.

Many of us are well aware it’ll raise the cost of goods, and not just imports. Any domestic competitors that don’t raise priced by say, 20% and 7%, is leaving money on the table and will get sued by their share holders.

I’m not saying I like that fact, but it just is.

Such an emotional roller coaster you’ve put me on!

Get out of here with that equity woke mind virus /s
