    What’s interesting is the right wing bubble has burst. Everyone not in the MAGA bubble knows this bill is a disaster. But now that Elon has come out against it so hard, everyone knows it’s a disaster. Republicans Congressmen, Fox News, and the rest of MAGA echo chamber can’t lie about it anymore. For the first time in a very very long time, I’m on team Elon.

    You can’t beat the Federal government. Musk was legitimately being investigated by several agencies before he bought off Trump.
    They can restart those investigations and stop the billions of federal funding Musk receives. Tesla is down 15% today. The government can destroy Musk.
    On the other hand Musks money can be used to threaten to primary candidates. And his social media platform can be used to turn much of Maga against Trump. It will be fun. It’s going to hurt them both.

    Don't forget that Tesla entire business model for profitability for the next decade are robotaxis which Tesla says will be its main cash flow by 2030... lol that will need approval from the DOT to get approved for full automation..... lol the government will never approve that now which is why the stock fell so hard....Tesla is ****ed and it couldn't have happened to a nicer person @Space Ghost

    Then is exactly what you want. To destroy a solid American company with tens of thousands of job losses. One that specifically promoting the Democrat agenda 10 years ago.

    Party over country. Disgusting.

    Incorrect as always. I never said I was a Trump supporter, MAGA or a Republican. I have repeated spoke poorly. What I have said is that I voted for Trump with no regret due to your loser party offering absolutely nothing.

    What is left of the Democrat supporters have devolved into simple minded people who can only insult and belittle people. Your team has offered absolutely nothing. Democrats and Republicans are one and the same. You have become what you hate.

    Thousands of job losses, you say? And that upsets you? It didn't upset Musk when he was firing thousands of federal employees.

    (The Tesla board should jettison him and bar him from the facilities. They might recover after a bit if they do so, but now he's not only an untouchable for Dems, he's now going against Trump--and he has likely broken a number of laws along the way which will eventually be investigated. No business can survive their CEO flubbing up the politics and skirting criminality so badly. He's a liability for every damn one of companies and should just retire, post on X a lot, and live off the interest while making babies with random strange.)

    I'm hoping round one goes to Trump (deports Elon/cancels his govt subsidies)

    Then Elon responds with all his might.

    Then the inevitable Massive MAGA civil war ensues.

    After being given unfettered access to vital government systems, what are the odds there's now a back door or two?

    Elon has dip$hit by his tiny balls.

    Cutting jobs that are unnecessary is different from wishing and cheering the demise of a company or jobs.

    However it seems you have a firm grasp on Tesla's market. Since you have all the answers, I highly encourage you to go start a business and compete. Or just admit you have no idea what you're talking about and only lashing out with an emotional response.

    You're the furthest thing from an independent.

    Just remember, political drama is often staged to hide something else. Wonder what we are being distracted from?
