My uncle is like this as well, it's why it's pointless discussing or arguing anything with him. He has no principles or ideology of his own, just whatever FOX is telling him to think at the time.
Elon just want’s to see it all burn down that is his objective. He has more than enough wealth for 1,000 lifetimes. He could have chosen to Yacht around the world and enjoy the best things in life. He chose not to.
Actually no. The reason they had the Tesla sales demonstration at the WH is because Elmo has been living off debt backed by Tesla shares. That debt is callable if Tesla drops below a certain threshold, which forces the sale of Elmo's shares. Elmo owns enough of Tesla that if he faces calls on his loans it drives down the price of TSLA and even more of his loans get called.
There is the outside chance that there is a price point at which a TSLA collapse functionally bankrupts Elmo.
Never ceases to amaze me how difficult billionaires find it to be a good person. If I had his billions I'd be giving away houses to widows and orphans all day long.
(occasionally taking a break to yacht around the world of course)
Fuck him, but I can kind of get it. If I had a couple billion I’d be pretty content. But get me up to like top 10 in the world, and I would probably start doing whatever I could to be number 1 richest. Whether it be a competitive thing, or a completionist. I feel like at that point the moneys not even real. No different than trying to get a billion in GTA or fill a whole chest with diamonds in Minecraft
Even if Tesla was literally the only automaker left and they were literally handing them out for free, I still wouldn't get one. Shoelace Express all the way for me.
Keep in mind, these are idiots who have been shooting themselves in the foot repeatedly over the past two months. In their minds, this will work really well.
They don't care. A good "economy" isn't there end goal. They are tiring the minority that has the balls to speak out and they are making it illegal to do so.
I didn’t say it was going to work. I mean did anything they really put their mind to pan out last time. Kushner is the only one that capitalized. The team is way less competent than last time.
Big 3 don't build much here anymore. The pickups, their moneymakers, a lot are built in both Canada and Mexico yet they still go for $100,000 +. All their inexpensive stuff, Maverick, Trax, etc. built out of the country. And used cars will be jacked up to like during pandemic where about same price as new.
Except in doing so, Elon lost all the foreign market essentially… maybe he saw that BYD was gonna eat his lunch and that his only hope was to become completely entwined with the US gov…
Exactly. Elon has control of means of production in US. And he whispers sweet nothings into Trumps ear. He wants to make sure Americans have no other option but to buy his vehicle. Used cars will be in high demand and eventually become a scarcity. And Elon won’t have robots working because he can barely figure out his Teslas, but he’ll still have a workforce of people who work because they need to buy eggs.
Political left wing bias aside, I very much doubt it. Didn't Trump just remove / going to remove the tax incentives from EV's?
I'm not even in USA but even I can understand trump. Trump's motivation is only on deal making and bringing everything back to USA. you have to move your thoughts away from politics because that is emotive and emotions polarise preventing people seeing the big picture, stand back and think about the person in general.
A narcissist trait has no loyalty other than to self inflate themselves not others; a narcissist trait will typically change modes and plans quickly to confuse people (common characteristic), A narcissist will always 'be right' and especially if a narcissist is shown up they get offended terribly and quickly becomes vindictive (This is where zeliensky seriously miscalculated 'personality type' during the white house visit), all cameras were on trump at that time and he wanted to make an announcement and by not being able to make the announcement trump started talking over the other guy and the deal quickly evaporated which saw harsh consequences quickly. Therefore this and everything else at present connecting to trump is all about Trump being able at the end of his term to say 'look what I did' that is all!.
Now wether his plans work out or not time will tell. However just because people maybe eccentric, does not mean they wont be successful. If anything it does give him the balls to do what no other has done or would do because of brazen attitudes and he may achieve certain really positive goals, however the most fascinating part is what the world is seeing gives a great view of how he has always been and how he has got ahead in his life and treated people and how he historically made deals to get ahead.
I wish my country had the balls to do the same 'country first', but leftism has seriously destroyed the social fabric here and we are more divided by culture and are drowning in sky high electricity prices because of 'green ideology dream chasing' than ever after this current government and like most places; Leftism becomes very critical and nasty using all sorts of tactics to cancel opposing views instead of recognising the best way forward is discussing opposing views. Ironically just in my own opinion leftism has become what Hitler wanted in some ways, it shuts down and cancels people, uses mass to bully people into submission and if they don't shut up escalates to more serious actions.
I wish my country had the balls to do the same 'country first',
Dude, you're on an economics sub envying the American people because their government, in just two short months, managed to make almost everything more expensive for them.
I'm real glad my country didn't have "the balls" to fucking do something that stupid. I'd never forgive it.

This is all a scam to help Elon.
