  • he’d declare “total victory” if import taxes were as high as 50% a year from now

    “The country will be making a fortune,” Trump told Time, claiming businesses will reshore production to the United States, adding jobs and investment — a theory debunked by a large number of businesses and economists. “Oh, zero would be easy, but zero, you wouldn’t have any companies coming in. They’re coming in because they don’t want to pay the tariffs.”

    That plan faces extreme challenges, including training American workers who have been hesitant to take factory jobs (the United States has nearly half a million open factory jobs it can’t fill, according to the Department of Labor’s latest job openings report). Also, tariffs themselves have made factory construction significantly more expensive. And even if businesses wanted to reshore production, that process can take years.

    We live in the dumbest fucking timeline. He's been obsessed with tariffs since the 80s and doesn't understand the nuance you need to use them as an actual tool.

  • Because he's cheap and didn't wanna spend the money. It's why the interior is so plain for the amount of money you spend.

  • Update he indeed doesn't know

  • Nah trump will claim everyone was there for him and there wasn't a protest.

  • There have been multiple companies who have gone through public image issues that have survived, but never regained their original status in the market.

    The thing that it has been with Tesla is the company value never made sense and it was driven by hype for Elon and his "genius vision". With that facade going away the stock should continue to adjust to closer to other comparable car companies. Even recently they had a trailing P/E ratio of 121. That's crazy with only so few things in their product pipeline that we know about.

    So the question now is how does the new public perception impact any new products they launch in the near term and how do they recover the confidence of the consumers? Not saying that it can't be done.

  • Tesla has been losing ground for a while. They were one of the first mass produced EVs with charging infrastructure, but now what makes them special? They have positioned themselves as a software/ai company but it was just a way to boost stock price. They don't have full self driving (fsd) that's been promised as next year for the past 10 years. On top of it they only rely on cameras for fsd and no lidar systems so I don't think they'll ever get full clearance outside the US.

    So even if they ditch Elon I'm not sure if the sentiment can be brought back. Sure they may not go bankrupt but the stock should fall in line with other auto manufacturing companies.

  • Then privatize it to TurboTax

  • Step 1: Strip it and claim it's not working

    Step 2: Sell off and privatize

    Step 3: Profit

  • Half the country has about a sixth grade reading comprehension level...so you definitely aren't wrong.

  • Democrats right now are also showing to be absolutely terrible opposition party members. Only a few are constantly speaking up.

    Also might be just me but trump seems to be showing his age more to me in terms of appearance. His hair in particular is more white than ever to me.

  • You forgot the press conference slow reading of a statement from Schumer who takes his glasses off at the end to drive his point home.

  • Just like how they think the department of education sets the ciriculum in the states.

  • The board has close ties to musk. His brother is on the board. That's why they will always pay the guy.

  • The guy blamed Bidens government and not Trump in his video so no. He'd probably vote the same.

  • I mean he did write a children's book proclaiming trump king.

  • Man all those people who chose to not vote bc they didn't want to be supporting a genocide...sure showed us...

  • They'll say it was Bidens and the democrats fault. Their god king can do no wrong.

  • Also trump first tried to ban it by executive action way back in 2020 so he technically got the ball rolling too.
