How fucked is your company if the CEO has the president's ear, and the company sends a letter to tell them to please stop what they are doing.
That is comically depressing.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Leopard eating face moment for Tesla.
Tesla sourced their steel for the Cybertruck from Finland. 😁🤣
Oh no! If only there was SOMEONE who had More Power then the President who ALSO worked at Tesla that could STOP this!
With the moron being an absentee CEO at multiple companies that the moron is supposedly the CEO of... what would it take for the board of each company to fire him? CEO's get fired all the time for reasons the board comes up with randomly.
Any other CEO would have been fired a long time ago for dragging the company monetary value down as much as Twitter has, for example.
Musk is more than just the CEO, he is also the largest shareholder. The last estimate I see online is 12%. So while he does not hold a majority, as the largest shareholder he has outsized influence with the board. He probably hand-picked them all.
They are all literally his lapdogs.
Get wrecked jackass
We're talking teslas. They'll get wrecked in the next light rain.
Tesla... warned that US exporters were “exposed to disproportionate impacts when other countries respond to US trade actions”.
That's the point of retaliatory tariffs. Trump's tariffs are stupid, other country's tariffs are smarter and more targeted to have outsized impact on the US and less impact domestically. It's absolutely intentional.
