Maybe it's more to do with the EV mandates than subsidies

Again, that's pure speculation

Speculative but plausible. You only provided that Musk was fine with subsidies going away but nothing about him being okay with EV mandates going away.

Those are two completely different animals.

“Mike Johnson is a liar.”

“Mike Johnson is implying the truth.”

The worst element of MAGA in a nutshell - complete, self-deluded dishonesty.
And I thought hte TikTokFlipFlop was impressive....

I like Mike personally, but Mike knows where his bread is buttered.

So he's been publicly speaking out about getting rid of the subsidies for years and now we're to believe the real reason he was against the BBB is for the complete opposite reason?


Guess you've missed the last few months Elon and Tesla has had.

Sure. Sure. Trump and Johnson are the most trustworthy on this.

You Trumpets really are completely gullible.


Nooooo... You're right, we should totally trust Elon. It's just a coincidence that Tesla stock has gone down significantly lately, there is a massive global boycott of their vehicles, other EV producers are taking over huge markets around the globe, the entire left and globalists hate him, say he's a Nasi, want him imprisoned, or even worse... The Tesla Board has been rumored to have been considering ousting him... then the bill he has known about for months and been in on, may pass... but his EV subsidies are cut... and he flips his shite. Just all a coincidence.

I just can't believe that the guy that stands to benefit immensely from EV subsidies, under all the circumstances above--that are pretty recent--would be upset about losing those subsidies at this time. Trump AND Johnson could only be lying about that!

The subsidies have not been static for years. It’s not unreasonable - actually, it is reasonable to assume that something in this bill is hurting him financially more than he expected.

The dude went nuclear today, I doubt he expected to have final say so on what is and isn’t in the bill. His behavior was not savvy at all. Being hurt personally is the best explanation for the behavior.

Just yesterday the sales pitch here was that Elon didn’t care about this.


So funny.

Shhhhhhhh...... don't speak logic to these maroons.


Do you know what logic is? People don’t just do 180s like this over a piece of legislation.

This is not rational behavior. Logically, something happened that made him very upset

I really don’t like the bill much either, but they absolutely had to pass tax legislation this session. Welcome to politics Elon.

Musk alignment with Trump was all about how it could help his companies. Becoming Trump's enemy is a huge mistake.

So Elon was cool with Trump being in the Epstein files and would have kept his mouth shut if he'd gotten his way?
