sometimes you gotta be careful what you wish for. Mr. Musk wished for Trump to be elected president and spent a 1/4 of billion dollars to help make that wish come true. Yesterday I was listening to Trump's inaugural speech and just after saying drill baby drill he said something to the effect that he was going to get rid of electric cars. Wonder how Elon fares if Tesla is put out of business by Trump?
While we are at it, do you really want Elon to get rid of all regulations around ohhh lets say car safety. Given his history of cutting corners and moving fast and breaking things etc you might say to yourself ---I am not going to buy a Tesla. They probably are not safe. But here is the thing, what if other folks do buy Teslas only to discover they....aren't safe and their technology results in the Teslas running into you. And then that Tesla catches on fire, and there are no fire fighters around to put out the fire which is gonna burn hot and long and spew toxins in the air. Ohhh yea and turns out you don't have health insurance because of a preexisting condition. And, and , and well you get the point.
The world sure isn't perfect, and I hope DJT doesn't make it worse, but hope really isn't a strategy...and if you want a lecture on tariffs, the effects of cutting taxes on the deficit, and eliminating vaccines on public health and the associated expenses--feel free to reach out to this CO based economist for a lecture.
PS Donald--a quick investment suggestion ---threaten Musk with nationalizing X and force him to sell it to your media company along with TicTok and Metagram. Why share the stage with Elon and Zuck when you can have it all for yourself?
