I love this idea. Screw Bezos. I'm sick and tired of buying something and then finding out the delivery is delayed because it is coming from China. There needs to be a made in America option.

That'll start working as soon as Hyperloop and self driving, and robots, and tunnels, and spaceports are all completed.


Soooo 2075 or so.

I believe Elon's comment to spin up Amazon competitor isn't a fluke. Amazon does have major problems. As I mentioned earlier, it has become nothing more than a Chinese flea market operating inside an American distribution empire with 55.9% of its top 10,000 sellers China based.

I would be curious how this compares to something like Walmart.

I'm all for competition to Amazon.

I do believe, ultimately, it will be a huge win for the consumer.

Isn't that basically what TEMU is?

Plus Walmart has a ton of third party sellers on their site.
