On Monday, Donald Trump did that factor he does as a substitute of presidenting—penning virtually 140 tweets on his Reality Social. Apparently, he couldn’t play “dictator” with out somebody placing govt orders on his desk to signal.
The final one of the day, nonetheless, was fairly additional.
To Republicans, Conservatives, and all nice People, Elon Musk is “putting it on the line” as a way to assist our Nation, and he’s doing a FANTASTIC JOB! However the Radical Left Lunatics, as they typically do, are attempting to illegally and collusively boycott Tesla, one of many World’s nice automakers, and Elon’s “baby,” as a way to assault and do hurt to Elon, and all the things he stands for. They tried to do it to me on the 2024 Presidential Poll Field, however how did that work out? In any occasion, I’m going to purchase a model new Tesla tomorrow morning as a present of confidence and help for Elon Musk, a very nice American. Why ought to he be punished for placing his super abilities to work as a way to assist MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN???
Let’s undergo this in better element.
“But the Radical Left Lunatics, as they often do, are trying to illegally and collusively boycott Tesla …”
What’s an “illegal boycott,” and what does “collusively” imply? Is it something like conservatives boycotting Miller Lite as a result of they sponsored an Instagram story that includes a trans influencer? Or once they boycott just about something with a DEI program?
“… one of the World’s great automakers, and Elon’s ‘baby,’ in order to attack and do harm to Elon, and everything he stands for.”
If Tesla is Elon’s child, he’s about to desert it at any second now.
However sure, we do want (financial) hurt to Elon as a result of of all the things he stands for. With Tesla down 15% Monday, and 50% since its December 17, 2024 peak, the corporate has misplaced $800 billion in market worth, and Musk has misplaced effectively over $120 billion in web value.
However we are able to do higher than that!
“They tried to do it to me at the 2024 Presidential Ballot Box, but how did that work out?”
We received caught with co-president Elon Musk. Yeah, it sucked.
“In any event, I’m going to buy a brand new Tesla tomorrow morning …”
No, he gained’t. Does Trump even know find out how to drive?
And Fox Information host Sean Hannity can be apparently getting in on the Elon pity celebration and shopping for himself a Tesla.
Trump has a protracted historical past of attacking electrical automobiles, together with eliminating federal infrastructure spending for charging stations, transferring to finish shopping for incentives, and revoking Biden’s aim for 50% electrical automobiles by 2030. He’s additionally ripping 8,000 EV chargers out of presidency buildings.
Again in 2023, he stated “The auto industry is being assassinated” by electrical automobiles, and the transition to electrical was a “hit job” on Detroit. Trump additionally claimed “You could be loyal to American labor otherwise you could be loyal to the environmental lunatics. However you may’t actually be loyal to each. It’s one or the opposite.”
On July 12, 2022, Trump even posted this anti-Musk, anti-Tesla screed on Reality Social:
When Elon Musk got here to the White Home asking me for assistance on all of his many sponsored initiatives, whether or not it’s electrical automobiles that don’t drive lengthy sufficient, driverless automobiles that crash, or rocketships to nowhere, with out which subsidies he’d be nugatory, and telling me how he was a giant Trump fan and Republican, I might have stated, “drop to your knees and beg,” and he would have accomplished it.
Musk constructed his fortune by promoting well-off progressives on a imaginative and prescient of environmental sustainability, but determined with that genius mind of his to hitch his wagon to the man screaming “drill, baby, drill” whereas taking direct goal on the very supply of Musk’s wealth. Being a bigoted pro-Putin Nazi is a hell of a drug, apparently, overriding all sense of motive and self-interest.
Additionally, it’s unlawful for a authorities official to endorse a product, however yeah, that ship sailed with Trump a very long time in the past.
“… as a show of confidence and support for Elon Musk, a truly great American.”
Can South Africa and Canada take him again, please?
“Why should he be punished for putting his tremendous skills to work in order to help MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN???”
Nazis ought to be punished, full cease. That apart, Trump’s base isn’t the sort of people that purchase costly electrical automobiles. As I’ve famous a number of instances, 2024 noticed an entire reversal from conventional voting patterns—Trump and his celebration gained voters making beneath $50,000, whereas Kamala Harris and her Democrats gained these making greater than $50,000. Democrats are not the celebration of the poor and dealing class, whereas Republicans are not the celebration of the wealthy.
So which a part of Trump’s base goes to purchase Musk’s Swastikars? These working-class MAGA supporters who can’t even afford eggs anymore? Those who like to roll coal and hate all weenie environmentalists? Or how about rural conservatives with out charging infrastructure as a result of Trump killed that program?
Hilariously, this endorsement means Tesla will promote even much less automobiles. Approach to additional alienate Tesla’s core market. Musk, like an fool, doesn’t see that and thanked Trump for the endorsement.
Flipping via his Reality Social, this one caught my eye as effectively:
Even though Canada is charging the USA from 250% to 390% Tariffs on a lot of our farm merchandise, Ontario simply introduced a 25% surcharge on “electricity,” of all issues, and your not even allowed to do this. As a result of our Tariffs are reciprocal, we’ll simply get all of it again on April 2. Canada is a Tariff abuser, and at all times has been, however america is just not going to be subsidizing Canada any longer. We don’t want your Automobiles, we don’t want your Lumber, we don’t your Power, and really quickly, you’ll find that out. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!
“Your not even allowed to do that” is peak Trump—illiterate and ridiculous, and hilariously incorrect.
Somebody is fucking round, and definitely will quickly discover out. However it gained’t be Canada.
