Elon has said many times he is against the electric vehicle mandates, because they prop up his lower quality competitors. He believes Tesla can compete in the open market, while other E-car companies cannot.

He's dead wrong here. SpaceX had accomplished in 5 years more than bloated arse NASA has in 20.


NASA’s budget was cut repeatedly for decades and there was no push for either party to have them attempt what SpaceX is attempting.

If the will and the funding were there they absolutely could do everything spacex has done, and more.

this is absolutely true, tesla can stand up on its own while the competition would practically suffer without the ev credits (rivian, lucid and other smaller players)

Just so we’re clear.

Total OIL & GAS subsidies including externalities.. $646 billion per year. Of that being direct federal and state $20.5B per year.

Total EV subsidies per year (US only) $6.5B per year. Of which, $2B is direct consumer tax credits and $4.3B year is allocated through the inflation reduction act.

So let’s call a spade a spade.

Very chickenshit move by Trump. Especially about Space X. The same Space X that saved the astronauts. Who else was going get them?

We'll never get this opportunity again to fix the country.


You think the RINO GOPe lawmakers that make up most of the Republicans in Congress were down with Elon and DOGE's draconian cuts to their deeply entrenched, traditional D.C. establishment blob gravy train?

If you were demanding all those cuts be made this go around as the line in the sand to passing anything? You weren't going to get shite passed. Not sure how you people don't see the politics in Congress, particularly the Senate, and how it requires a less than ideal approach to implementing this administration's agenda.

Something tells me his opinion may have changed on that considering other EV producers are beginning to clean his clock in Europe and given the anti-Tesla movement here over the last few months.

When you are done with a person, stick the knife in and toss them aside for the cause.

This country is so fricked. We're living a reality show.

What happened to the population to where this circus is acceptable?

quote:

Time after time
I sit and I wait for your call
I know I'm a fool
But what can I say?
Whatever the price I'll pay
For you, Madame Blue
Once long ago
A word from your lips and the world turned around
But somehow you've changed
You're so far away
I long for the past and dream of the days
With you, Madame Blue

Suite Madame Blue
Gaze in your looking-glass
You're not a child anymore
Suite Madame Blue
The future is all but past
Dressed in your jewels, you made your own rules
You conquered the world and more
