Summary
Elon Musk gave Donald Trump a scripted sales pitch during a White House event where Trump inspected Teslas.
Photographers captured Trump holding notes with phrases like “SAFEST car” and “affordable.” The stunt followed a 15% drop in Tesla’s stock, linked to backlash over Musk’s involvement in DOGE.
Trump defended Musk on Truth Social, blaming the decline on a “Radical Left” boycott.
Meanwhile, Musk’s other ventures, including X and SpaceX, are struggling with outages and test failures.
Take a break dude. You’re getting downvoted because you’re attacking instead of conversing, and you’re point has a distant smell of whataboutism and bothsideism. One is authoritarian fascism, the other is democratic corporate sponsored genocide. Both terrible options, but one can be voted away and the other can’t.
How can you vote out “democratic corporate sponsored genocide” if that leaves you with “authoritarian fascism”?
How can you call one group “democratic” after a sham of a primary where NH has their delegates yanked because the state party wouldn’t violate NH state law at the behest of Biden and the DNC?
Especially when you factor in NH had went for the progressive in prior primaries?
The situation has been a lot worse than you’re presenting it.
If that’s what was going on I’d say it’s fine trump is doing it because Biden did it.
What I’m saying is that it’s fucked trump is doing it, and it’s fucked Biden did it and people didn’t give a shit and it was routed as a positive by everyone at the time including Faux News.
I want both sides held to the same higher standard.
If someone has a problem with that, they’re the actual problem. Because enabling that behavior in primaries is how Dems lose in the general.
Dude just take a beat for real
