He should go back to the buy here pay here lot they found him on. Ripping off the poor by fraud seems his limits.

It also assumes that the factory lasts for exactly one year and then closes forever.

Basically.  The Venn diagram for people who claim to despise price controls and people who are excited for these tariffs is a single circle.

How can helping an EV company be an attack on Tesla? Tesla isn’t even a car company according to Musk!

Trump: “we need massive tariffs on forgien EVs so they will be made here in the US!”

Basic division is all Vivek is capable of doing.

This is yet another example of how the GOP functions: severely underfund the education system so everyone is too dumb to understand basic concepts like loans, combined with declaring anything they don’t agree with is a lie, so they can say literally whatever dumb thing they want and their idiot base will swallow it.

G*d I hate these tech bro types. This guy is like the (in Musk speak) “super hard core annoying” high-school class president we all couldn’t wait to get far away from.

Tesla got a government loan of 465 million in 2010 (670 million in today’s money). At the time they had produced about 1,000 roadsters and had a revenue of 20 million. 

It no longer matters that Trump and his cabinet have the debating skills of Brick Tamland: they’ll just make a bunch of angry grunting sounds and their moronic masses will just say “ d E r P, YEAH!” and cheer them on.

The corruption and self-dealing we’re going to see over the next 4 (or more) years is going to be on a scale never seen before in US history.

DT acolytes: “Tariffs for Mexicali autos, cuz dammit buid ‘em here!”

Just commenting on the article picture. I really want a R3X. Tri-motor, short-wheelbase - it looks like it’ll be a hoot. 

That’s why he’s not “in government.”

It’s called the Patronage System. It was actually very much the direct, accepted, and unapologetic way of doing presidential appointments way into the 19th century (as opposed to the somewhat less obvious method since then).

Also, wouldn’t the “$880,000 per job” also account for the materials needed to build the factory? Pretty sure building materials aren’t free...

President “drain the swamp” is putting together quite the circus with these clowns (and relatives and donors) he’s handing jobs to. I see a big pile of elephant shit coming our way.

Hey, remember how Tesla got Department of Energy loans back in the day to support their early manufacturing!?

Its all three. He’s lying AND he doesnt know how loans work AND he doesnt care.
