Gosh, imagine that.

Retaliatory tariffs are the least of Tesla's problems.

Sales are plummeting due to politics.

Competition has caught them, particularly in China.

And their main factories overseas are in China and Germany, which makes them extremely politically exposed.

And yeah, tariffs don't help matters.

Couldn’t Musk simply whisper that into his VP’S ear, instead of writing a letter?

What’s the over/under on how long before MAGA’s golden calf signs an EO requiring governors of States to host Tesla commercials at their respective State capitols?

President Musk will declare an executive order that Tesla is exempt from any retaliatory tariffs. Done

He's worried about a trade war. That's almost humorous. As a retired CEO, if I was jumping around a stage with a chainsaw bragging about destroying our government and my stock dropped in half, my board would have kicked me out of the building. My big concern would be the Class Action lawyers.

The Tesla brand is done. Elon completely trashed it. There's no coming back from this. This may be the worst destruction of a brand in history. This will be taught in business schools everywhere as an example of what not to do, especially the Nazi salutes

I thought it odd how they kept referring to “Tesla” as the speaker / letter writer. But then came to this paragraph:

Listened to your analysis on trump's tariffs. Respectfully disagree with the main reason he's doing this. He is trying to starve Canadians. Canada is his goal because he's a monster.

The marriage with Tesla in the middle never made sense with Trump wanting to get rid of electricity and pump oil. This tells me Musk knows Tesla is done and need to grab more government money.
