You might recall that Elon Musk claims to hate taxpayer subsidies. They should all be “deleted.” Except for the subsidies given to his companies (sometimes for doing nothing), of course.

Oh, cool, so that’s what’s supposed to happen in a collision? I’ll totally buy one.

Just in case any of you own this ETF.

I have been around this company for 10 years and I have never seen any evidence”.

I don’t know who she thinks she’s fooling.
