Some Bad News for Trump

I get that good or bad the cost to produce US cars is not competitive on the world stage in states with huge union shops. So it’s either “subsidies” or those companies lose market share and then layoff those workers who then get a % of nothing.

Article again points out that Elons politics are contrary to his and his company’s shareholder interests. Trump proposals to add tariffs causing Tesla to pause plans for manufacturing plant in Mexico. Trump says he will get rid of EV tax subsidies that will hurt Tesla Heck Elon just being the d1ck that he is has caused some potential Tesla buyers to rethink their potential purchases.

It is one thing when he pisses away his own money but another when he takes his shareholders with him.

 

the gov could take that money & build giant greenhouses so that we can create coffee growing jobs, heck, maybe olives too!

 

Yeah that’s it but we don’t have people to pick those crops(at least not ones that want do that job).

 

The only Tesla I would buy right now is a used one from a private party, still under warranty, with a failed battery. I want my first trip to see Elon to cost him $20K. (Chump change to him, but still.)

I just bought a car and was ready to buy an EV (I currently have two hybrids), but I refuse to buy from Tesla and Lexus/Toyota isn't there yet for full EVs. I bought a plug in hybrid instead. After charging it, my first 37 miles are all electric which is more than I drive in an average day. My cost to fully charge it at home (TECO) from 0 miles is $1.31. I'm used to driving hybrids, I got my first one in 2006, and while not a hypermiler, I know how to get a little extra fuel economy out of them. When I started the plug in this morning, it displays remaining mileage for both electricity and gasoline calculated on how you last drove the vehicle. It displayed 44 miles of electric range, 7 more than the stated maximum.

Good luck with that…

 

No comment by poster, story behind a paywall, and nothing brought in from the article. The OP had to at least comment himself on this to be within the rules of the board. Not to worry, lefties can do this, well, because they are lefties.

Bad news for Trump? I don't think so. Elon Musk supports Trump. He donated a large sum to the Trump campaign and created the super PAC listed below.

A link to a read for free:

Elon Musk: Reports of $45 Million a Month to Trump 'Not True' (breitbart.com)

According to Fortune, Musk did create the America PAC super PAC, though it remains unclear exactly how much money he has been contributing to the organization.

“I don’t prescribe to [a] cult of personality,” Musk said, adding that Trump showed “great courage” after his assassination attempt.

One of the sources explained to the outlet that America PAC was “focused on registering voters and persuading constituents to vote early and request mail-in ballots,” in swing states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, and Georgia.

Musk also hailed the Republican Party for allegedly pushing one of his “core values.” “One of those values being meritocracy, as much meritocracy as possible, so you get ahead as a function of your skill, and nothing else,” Musk said.

 

Elon Musk says 'woke mind virus' 'killed' estranged trans daughter

Now Musk is saying the reason he is a newly converted MAGA guy is his son/daughter tricked him into getting gender change surgery. His kid has disowned him.

To talk publicly that way about your kid, no matter what you think of the surgery is pretty bad. He just seems like a self absorbed nasty person - a narcissist not unlike Trump.

 

Silver spooner pumping “meritrocracy” is def on everyone’s bingo card.

 

Irony is @ETGator1 complaining about anyone else's thread..anywhere, on any board, from now until the end of time.

 

You mean inconvenient polls.

I'm sure you'd raise no such objection if it were a snowglobalist in good standing, posting polls positive for Kacala, replete with pom poms and confetti GIF...

 

Actually I said that all polls are trash right now regardless of what they say. This includes the ones that show Kamala leading Trump. Feel free to take back what you said.

 

My post stands, bc you wouldn't have bothered to object at all, if it was pro Kackala.

 

Check my post history and you will see that I did object to pro Kamala polls

 

Oh, I know, it's so gross to have to read posts that meet board rules just
because you don't like the content. I'm wondering if you came along in the time of students demanding their safe places to communicate which was code for I won't tolerate dissenting speech.

The comment about the opening post wasn't a complaint, just an observation. I didn't report the post. If my post to start a thread, I would have been gleefully reported to the mods who would have rightfully asked me to immediately correct the first post in the thread deficiencies.

 

Musk bought into the leftist wokeness in his personal life and is paying the price for doing so.

 

At least he'll have a good leader to guide him through his wokeness.

 

I will add, a valid observation. Moderaters are not constantly on the board reading posts and infractions like this one will be missed. Nothing intentional or deliberate. The thread will be locked and remain locked until OP'ster is prepared with comment and contacts a mod to reopen the thread. Hopefully soon.
