*it hurt itself in confusion*
Am I supposed to feel bad about this asshole?
FUCK HIM.

No need for tariffs. Just stop buying them.

The Tesla mini cave submarine and the flamethrover sales should counter the EV sales drop.
How outrageous! Immediate 100% tariff on tiny violins now in place
Be grateful they’re just tariffs. You deserve an embargo.
It should have been done already. We constantly punish Russian oligarchs, American oligarchs should expect the same treatment.
He did Nahtzhi that comming.
Time to convince North Koreans that they need electric cars. I heard they are great customers.
These need to be banned in Canada.
Good. Fuck nazis
“Could be”? Canada is literally considering 100% tariffs on the Tesla brand. change it to “will be”. He thinks social security is a ponzi scheme but then embezzles (allegedly) like $50million in government EV rebates from Canada
If fucking only!
Every single fucking country that has even had a threat of tariffs or being imperialistically taken over in the last 2 months should be putting a tariff specifically on Tesla cars.
Yeah, well, I am told that there will be “short-term” pain from the adjustments Trump “has to” make to the economy.
Suck it up, snowflake.
(Also it’s curious they are sending a letter to the US trade representative…what the fuck is that guy going to do about it while the Mad King Trump is getting mad?)
Tariff or no tariff, Tesla sales are tanking. In fact, tariffs give Musk another excuse so imo would be better to see Tesla crater without tariffs.
This is probably the only good news you’ll read today
As it should
Boycotting is great but Musk has a clear conflict of interest by meddling in government affairs
His products and services should 100% be treated as direct extension of the US government
It would make a lot of sense to Tariff an American electric car company to favour the domestic electric car market 💯
That is all that Trump is doing to other countries with the American tariffs so let’s protect our own interests as well.
Great idea why hasn’t this happened already
Elon forgot that Tesla is the biggest Welfare Queen in the automotive industry.
Who needs retailatory tariffs when EU, some US states, Canada, etc. can just “improve” the conditions to get EV credits and other public funding Tesla and other EV makers rely on?
Look, I don’t want to sound like a leftist troll, I’m genuinely trying to be as open minded and listen to both sides equally. That being said, why should I feel any sympathy for Elon Musk?
And the world says “It SHOULD be”
Ooh no. Anyway
Trump “We’ll tariff all your goods!”
Musk “Yeah!”
Trump “We’ll tariff all your lumber!”
Musk “Yeahh!
Trump “We’ll tariff all your steel!”
Musk “Well, yeah, okay…”
Trump “We’ll tariff all your electricity, we don’t need it!”
Musk “Ahem, well, actually…my cars…”
Trump “We’ll limit your border access to 30 days and charge you entry!”
Musk “Uhhh okay…”
Canada responds by adding similar tariffs to all incoming American goods, pulling American products off shelves, cancelling rebates and tax breaks for electric cars like Teslas and discusses tariffs on Teslas.
Musk and Trump “What! That’s not fair!”
