thegeneral 3,209 Posted April 8 MAGA infighting Musk is split on many of these tariff issues with team red hat. Chaos is always a thing with this administration but this kind of public fighting when things are going poorly is a bit much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Real timschochet 6,763 Posted April 8 Musk is wrong about a lot of things, especially lately, but he is 100% right about the tariffs. His posting yesterday of Milton Friedman’s brilliant pencil speech was spot on. Friedman got it. Musk gets it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If things continue to spiral this will cement that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alias Detective 1,400 Posted April 8 Musk gets his Tesla parts from other Countries and assembles them here in the Good Good Ole USA. If he brings the manufacturing home there will be no issues. Its not the soap opera you are clamoring for but it is CHILLING! Bwahahhahahah - Nuffinburger! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There’s a lot of moving plates here but Navarro attacking Tesla isn’t a wise move. Peter has been loyal to Donald throughout the years but I see him stepping back in the near future. Musk knows this is a long game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doubt the two of them can co-exist if publicly debating this issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Musk doesn’t want to bring manufacturing back here because foreign labor is cheaper. Same reason Trump’s clothing line is Made in China. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Things are blowing up and Elon is calling the reasoning behind it all dumb and one of the mouthpieces who is out there spinning for it dumb as a box of rocks. I mean it’s par for the course with the Carnival Barker in chief’s style of running things but even for them it’s not a good look. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
