    Are these the vehicles that, like their creator, are coming unglued?

    "The Trump administration is expected to purchase $400 million worth of armored Tesla vehicles, according to a new State Department document detailing procurement for fiscal year 2025."

    How much would Tesla have to drop for his Twitter loans to get called? Or could he just pledge more Tesla stock as collateral?

    At what point will the money consider him too much of a risk?

    Would SpaceX and Tesla be better off without him?

    These people are flat out criminals.

    (but we've known that for a while)





      • In a potential violation of government ethics, Howard Lutnick fanned the fear of missing out on a Tesla rally during an interview on Fox News by literally telling voters to buy Tesla stock because it's only going to go up in price from here.
    Just days after President Trump turned the South Lawn of the White House into a Tesla car emporium, a member of his cabinet took to the airwaves urging Americans to buy Elon Musk’s stock as well.

    Trump commerce secretary pumps Tesla stock, urging Americans to buy Elon Musk’s carmaker: ‘It will never be this cheap again’

    It's only a matter of time before Trump lays actual eggs and the prices come down. Whenever he has a new policy, it could be said that he's "laying an egg". If a pooch needs to be screwed, that's what he has Vance for.

    It's downright crazy how the same 7 or 8 Too Hot posters who suffer from TDS have dominated this thread ignoring that there is vandalism and terrorism going on all over against Musk, Tesla and the United States.
