    Will he really need customers much longer? I mean it seems like he can just have any government agency replace their fleet with his trash in the name of “efficiency”.

      Apparently a big part of Tesla’s business is selling carbon credits to other automakers… Which relies on them having a certain number of EV sales. If they drop below a threshold, then they can’t sell those credits anymore.

      He tied the financing of his loan to buy Twitter with Tesla shares, if they tank it pressures the Saudis to call in the billions they loaned him for the purchase. He’d survive, but it would embarrass him which would be funny.

        The thing is, if this follows the Hungary script, Musk is going to become replaceable.

        He doesn’t command votes like Trump does, but is rich enough to be a threat. Look up Simicska.

        Pretty soon the only government workers left will be Trumpler’s goons. I’m ok with them dying in swastikars.
