As much as I love to see musk eating shit; I am also bracing myself expecting democrats to embrace him as an "Ally." American politicians just love it when the most evil corporate monsters are on their side.

Democrats are back to their pre-party switch status
And we'll find out in a few decades that politicians from both sides bought tons of stock futures to short the stock hours before this happened.

The only thing that was propping their stock up was the investors acknowledging that Elon's proximity to the White House would allow him to pull strings to get preferential treatment for his companies. You know, blatant corruption. Now it's going to he the opposite.
Is because the right can hate on Musk again now that thier leader is, again?
he caught onto trumps coattails too late, they cant have to 2 cult leaders, only one.
The rich pretend they're all powerful but really they have a much less secure money source. Where as we know our money is ours the rich can lose everything like that. Elon could go broke in a single day he's on his way out of the billionaire club because now everyone hates him

The true beauty of these idiots’ refusal to read a book and learn from history is: They will always eat each other in the end.
It's like Caesar and pompey if there was 10x more lead in the water supply
It was lower in April and March. The stock had been oscillating wildly between $375 and $225 all year and has no relation to any of the actual finances of the company. Considering that the budget bill under consideration could remove the clean energy credits that keep the company in the black, the stock should be much lower.
It's not just that, they need Chinese rare earth minerals...
Like, Musk just spent 15 billion on a factory for batteries that he now can't afford the raw materials for.
Wow. So he was just too geeked out on K to complain about all the tariff drama the last few months? I thought Xi said they may just straight up stop selling some of that stuff to us? Not sure if it was rare earth minerals or some other rare substance that’s needed for military applications. Elon and Trump are some real fucking geniuses. 🙄
Yeah, it's all the same shit.
But especially for EV batteries, the tarrifs make the raw materials so expensive a lot of companies are looking to offshore their manufacturing because if they're made somewhere else, only Americans pay the tarrifs on completed vehicles.
If the raw materials face a 150% tarrif, then even if theyre sold in Canada or Mexico, the tarrifs drive up prices and lowers sales.
actual finances of the company
never has, never will.
Maybe someday. 🤞🏾And then Phoney Stark won’t have to worry about whether we’re taxing billionaires enough 🙏🏾

Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill AND Musk’s publicly traded stocks tanking? In one week?
I wouldn't be sure about the Big Billionaire Bill (that's more apt name) I'm sure Republicans will fold and pass it at 4am with some modifications
Are we sure the bill is tanked?
Like Telsa’s stock, it’s on a downward spiral this week, but it’s far from dead.
We have seen those things already... The Republicans will say that there's snowball chance in hell that they will pas it then at 4am will pass it with a single vote.
Someday we'll be able to get gif tattoos and I'm getting this one.
Subdermal e-ink particles, perhaps?
If you got fat enough you could make get the fat rolls tattooed like it's a flip book.
Or just get all of the key frames tattooed around your waist and then twirl around.

I love tesler
What's hilarious is Tesla was propped up by maga buying it cuz Trump said to. And maga probably won't be able to win primaries let alone generals without musks money.
Like wasn't it just a month ago the BBB passed the House by a single vote after Musk had to threaten to back primary challengera against Republicans that voted against it?
