Elon Musk has fully endorsed President Trump. He is pulling his businesses out of California and moving them to Texas. He has made many posts lately on X that are total redpills... in short, he has done a lot of things that really piss off the libtards.
This video discusses the consequences to Tesla's market share, profitability, etc. going forward since most of Tesla's customers are libtards... the guy in the video has been short on Tesla for many years, so he is obviously not a fanboi, but he does raise some good points.
I wonder what EM / Oak Tree is doing? I'm not complaining, obviously - I'm just a bit baffled (in a good way).
Elon by virtue of his wealth and connections more than likely knows more than the average person.
And it’s been speculated that the technology to either blow through or sidestep many technological limitations and flaws exists in off the books projects. Including limitations and flaws on the work his companies specialize in. Could be he’s preparing for those to go mainstream.
He already most has the beginnings of a Space Port built. Controlling the first potentially interstellar Port. Would be an enormous advantage.
It’s also been rumored Defense Contractors have been drawing up and updating elaborate plans for Space and frankly Sci-Fi infrastructure since the 1950s. Capital Ships, Space Stations, Patrol Bases, Colonial Habitats, Plasma/Laser based weapons. Dropships, Power Armor, Orbital and Planetary Defense Systems. VTOL. Holographic Simulators (IE Holodecks)
In fact it’s rumored part of the Soviet/U.S Nuclear Buildup was specifically for Planetary Defense. As was Regans StarWars project. Rather than each other.
Anywho. Texas. Would provide the land for massive expansion of his companies infrastructure at comparatively reasonable prices. And a sizeable enough population of reasonably competent people to staff the factories.
Agreed - all the Space X stuff is awesome. Almost like the classic hard SF from the 50's and 60's coming to life (finally).
Even so, endorsing President Trump, donating $45 million per month to a Trump super PAC, moving his companies to Texas... it's like he just does not give a crap about his existing libtard customer base at all. I am not complaining, but I do not understand any of these moves from a business perspective. Maybe he already has so much money that he just does not care anymore... or maybe, like you suggest, he "knows things" that the rest of us do not. It's extremely interesting either way.
Some of it makes more sense if you think of Tesla cars as being testing prototypes for off-world rovers and power systems and such.
And we can go full Tesla wireless energy, I think he can retrofit his autos to pull energy from the air.
We’re 100 + years behind in regards to tech advances.
I am exhilarated by the possibility of a RED infiltration and takeover of deep blue Austin.
Yes. Telsa did say the future belongs to him. I think Elon and TMTG will release a lot of these off book skunkwork projects.
My issue is, doesn’t POTUS have to step aside from TMTG if he is elected
We are in unprecedented times. Who’s to say he’ll have to?
Quite a bit is up in the air.
He isn't an officer of the company. He does have a crap-ton of stock, but I believe he can have that put into a trust.

so he has lost a lot betting against musk for years...
good.
I know... I thought the same thing. I am not a fan of short sellers in general (especially the naked shorts bullshit).
Also, I personally am not a fan of Tesla or EV's either. I am extremely happy that President Trump has promised he will get rid of all EV mandates and the other associated crap.
However, that does spell trouble for Tesla - big trouble. And the points the short seller guy raises in the video are all valid problems. I am only a spectator, so I don't really care... I just thought EM's behavior that basically hurts one of his own companies was very interesting.
Ev's are ok in my book. People should be able to choose. Mandating the is no Bueno though. That said, if there are no mandates, I don't see it hurting tesla sales, I see it hurting the other ev sales instead. Tesla has the dominant reputation, regardless of liberal opinion.
In fact, Tesla makes a buttload of money selling "carbon offsets" to other car companies. If the mandates go away, those carbon offsets also go away - which means no more buttloads of money for Tesla.
I like that every liberal who drives a Tesla has that thought living rent free in their heads😂🤣🤯🤬🤯
username checks out
alot of dems think Elon is very smart and they worship him. So by him doing that now their brain will go "smart = Trump".. hope some will wake up
Once you have a couple of billon dollars losing hundreds of millions isn't the end of the world, and if you see a totalitarian future looming that would take everything you have built away you also have nothing to lose in opposing them.
