Bro I remember when Elon first let people buy the blue check, I was like, "couldn't this lead to someone who is verified causing a massive panic if they tweet the wrong thing?"

And everyone was like, LOL that would never happen.

Well...

Guys guys don't worry. In just one year, Optimus robots will be in every American household and Tesla will be selling at $2000!! So keep your money in, and don't worry if you see every Tesla board member furiously selling their stock. They're only doing that to make room for you!

Not everyone who voted Trump is a frothing MAGA loyalist. There are plenty of people who are just uninformed and had rose colored glasses about Trump's first term pre-covid. These are the type of people that will jump ship.

To simplify what you said, Hanaina heard what he wanted to hear, not what Trump was actually saying. This isn't an excuse.

On the campaign trail Trump said over and over again things like "maybe I'll do a 25% tariff on everyone! Maybe we have to do 100% tariffs!". He clearly thought tariffs would just solve everything.

This reminds me of when Trump clearly telegraphed he was planning something big on Jan 6, and then everyone was shocked when it happened.

Anyone with half a brain knows that imposing massive tariffs will hurt the economy far more than any kind of income tax cut will help it. It's like saying you're going to give someone a snickers bar, but also cut off their leg.

Interesting question, what does disgusting chameleon jd Vance turn into if Trump croaks? Right now, JD is just a full on replica of Trump, but he could easily just shift into something else if the situation called for it.

Does he stay in "Trump mode" or does he change into something else if he's president?

If you are all about the market, then Trump was clearly the worse choice. Trump talked over and over again about tariffs. It was like his only economic talking point.

It boggles the mind how so many people are "shocked" that Trump did the tariffs he said he would do like 1000 times on the campaign trail. And basically every economist who isn't on the Trump payroll says that tariffs are bad and big tariffs are really really bad.

I've heard the Penguins from Heard island are about to cave too. Sad day

I feel like it will make insurance rates on Teslas go up, and people will be less likely to buy a Tesla if they have to pay a huge premium on insurance.

The United States is the number two manufacturing country in the world. Our unemployment is already low. There is literally no reason for this obsession about bringing back manufacturing jobs.

At this point, it's basically a myth that US workers are suffering so greatly because they don't have the privilege of working 12 hours a day for minimum wage riveting steel.

Pretty much what they've been doing with the Bible all this time anyway 😂

Whoever smelt it dealt it.

First, they came for the Switch, and I said nothing because I was not a Nintendo gamer.

Then, they came for the PlayStation, and I said nothing because I was not a console peasant.

When they finally came for the PC games, there was no one left to speak up for me.

If you wanted negative interest rates, you probably shouldn't have done something that is insanely inflationary 😂.

Owning a company that builds rockets makes you a rocket scientist like owning a GI Joe toy makes you a soldier.

It's like if Trump put a marginal tax rate of 90% on income from $20,000 - $60,000 and conservatives were like "What? I thought Democrats were for taxes!"

Nope, they all act like they never supported Trump and the Democrats of their current era actually represent everything that everyone hated about Trump.

Think this is far fetched? How do conservatives view George W Bush now?

As a gamer, fuck gamers. At least the kind that watch Asmongold.

Take me with you 😂

But wait, didn't all the gamers want all of this "woke trans ideology" out of their games? Didn't they win when Trump got elected? I don't want to hear any gamers that supported Trump complain when they have to pay $120 for Stellar Blade 2.

All of these business bro's that backed Trump need to do a full 180 and start hard supporting Dems. I'm sorry guys, maybe you won't get your 80 gajillion dollar tax cut with Dems. But at least they won't completely destroy the global economy by just being dumb.
