To be clear, the biden-musk dispute included threats to Tesla. The entire thing is insane. Musk has done more for America than either of the last two presidents.



Nooooo! Not muh heckin' Tesla stonks!

It's just such a shame that Elon was pressured into this messy politics stuff. After all, he could have just stayed in his own lane, kept his nose clean, made value for shareholders and saved America along the way. It was so easy! Hell, he could have just become president himself with his spotless track record of administrative accomplishment. Who wouldn't vote for him?

Now look at the poor guy. Burned his bridges with the liberals when he bought Twitter, harassed queer people and reneged his environmental commitments. Now the bridge to modern conservatism is on fire, because gasp the Republicans won't agree on making a smaller, less-capable government! Those filthy backstabbers, how was Elon supposed to know he was fraternizing with frauds, socialists and sex pests?

It's... it's discrimination. Don't they know Elon is on the autism spectrum, how are they getting away with this harassment? H-hey, why are you guys walking away - this is important! America's future is on the line, here!


I don't care about Musk personally but if you think Trump's threat is the first direct named threat against his company by a politician, I think you are off your rocker


By most accounts, that's what typically happens to businessmen who have close ties to the Russian Federation. Doubly so if you spent your early 20s on a traipse around post-bloc oblasts looking to buy decommissioned weapon systems. Triply so if you're still picking up when Putin calls you.

If it's any consolation though, Elon's not alone. Plus, he's probably earned a real nice dacha near occupied Sumy for the valuable work he's done the government.
