The millionth article trying to suss out Trump's secret strategy about X despite the fact that he's the most transparent man alive. Trump just loves tariffs.

He definitely needs money from Tesla. Its overvalued so much that it adds about $350 billion to his net worth. That's over three times as much as the value of the military equipment the US has contributed to Ukraine in three years of war.

That might be on their mind, but I suspect their more immediate concern is building their extralegal military-run network of concentration camps for migrants.

I think the main problem with this is that a good boycott should target the company -- not the consumers.

Most Tesla owners are left-leaning urbanites who wanted to avoid contributing to climate change. They didn't know Elon Musk would try to establish the Nerd Reich. Why alienate them?

The goal of anti-Tesla activism should be making Tesla's brand toxic, not pissing people off.

You, ostensibly a human adult, just had to get Grok to explain to you the difference between a plurality and a majority. If AI is the future, I weep for the future. Pick up a book!

Are you asking Grok to do your thinking for you? This is basic American civics!

Pretty sure all AI investments combined are a rounding error in JPMorgan Chase's portfolio.

Particularly shameful because unlike most of the other billionaires, Sam has been an avowed liberal his whole life.
