Oopsy, turns out there's consequences for working to elect a demented maniac!

Elon Musk’s electric-car maker Tesla has warned that President Donald Trump’s trade war could make it a target for retaliatory tariffs against the US and increase the cost of making vehicles in America.

In an unsigned letter addressed to US trade representative Jamieson Greer, Tesla said it “supports” fair trade but warned that US exporters were “exposed to disproportionate impacts when other countries respond to US trade actions”.

I think between the boycotts in other countries, the boycotts in this country, the dipping resale values, the protests at dealers, the vandalism of vehicles, and the unexpected tariffs, Tesla is going to have an interesting year.

Especially if the banks force Musk to dump billions of dollars in shares to pay his debt.
