They might be high, but they'd be higher if he wasn't a nutjob
I wouldn't buy a Tesla going forward (especially when cars like byd are probably better quality). And I literally trust the Chinese government more than Trump
Yup, I literally trust a rabid lion more than a rabid bear.
The difference is.. BYD isn't literally getting in bed with an anti-EV government.
That makes you wonder whats really going on here.. Musk and Trump clearly have some background agreement (which could even involve Trump signing a long term contract on behalf of the government with Musk for promotion opportunities, or blocking Chinese cars entirely)
Or changing laws to benefit Musk, signing contracts for the Boring company, etc.
Something doesn't feel right here.. Although both Trump and Musk are similar (both have no problem calling heroes pedophiles or other rudeness). both have no problem fucking over their workers
