    Their monetary losses are insubstantial compared to the gains in power they will receive from further weakening the influence and power of the average person.

    OK but since January 17. What about before? Because i know Musk doubled his money when Trump got elected.

      Yes, Tesla stocks are merely back to pre-election levels. Looks like they will keep dropping though.

          They just climbed today. Maybe Musk (via proxies) is buying while cheap because he has insider info that a subsidy is about to be handed to Tesla.

          I suspect that is the point of the yoyo tariffs: insider trading.

    Do you reckon that some people voted for Trump just because they knew he was so incompetent that he would inadvertently fuck shit up for everyone, friends included - and that there are enough disillusioned people in the US fed up of any semblance of the status quo (progressive or otherwise) who just wanted to watch the world burn as much as they’re suffering?

    A vote of pure spite and nihilism
