Robert Reich : "Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it."
Is he saying prices for medical usage will rise? I know he doesn’t look before he leaps into posting. But in this case it is possible he may not be referring to street drugs.
Bold of you to assume an out-of-touch oligarch even knows what an “illegal drug” is at this point. He just orders narcotics (and probably worse things) off a list and they get delivered to his hotel room.
Idiocy. If we could pinpoint protocol the 🇨🇳 use to get it into this country it would’ve been shut down. Doesn’t Elonia know that it’s usually brought in by Americans? So what would a tariff do…exactly?
Why are we continually being told that this guy is a "genius"? He has a certain skill set, determination, and an ability to focus. But his thought processes are highly flawed. Genius? I don't think so. Wealth, and even success, do not automatically equal high intellect.
There is a video on YouTube about his mother, Mrs. Musk touting how amazingly brilliant her boy is.
Comments, hilarious. Hope I come across it, I'll post it.
Rich doesn't equate to intelligence. Case in point, RFK Jr. He just admitted to doing heroin because he wasn't doing well in school. WTF 🤭
I don't understand why everyone's giggling about illegal drugs and Elmo being stupid (he's not, he's pandering to people he thinks are stupid). This will have a massive effect on US healthcare.
Yeah, I’m guessing Elon Appleseed has massive issues with feeling acceptance. He did offer his sperm to some celebrity. Who the f#&k does that of not an insecure narcissist?
Illegal fentanyl is synthesized in Mexico using chemicals imported from China. I'm sure Mexico will charge China a tariff just as soon as they finish paying for the border wall.
If I understand it correctly, Trump is saying these proposed tariffs will remain in place on our three largest trade partners until they get tough on drug dealers smuggling fentanyl into the country. I’m not defending the decision by any means, I’m just saying that’s the connection he’s making.
Fentanyl is also used for medical reasons and pain control, it’s not just some narco rec drug. This could be terrible (expensive) for the medical field AND…..the patients who need help. Altho I guess the cost to big pharma will just be to pass it on. JFC!
I don't know if all Fenanyl in made in China. I do know that it is not only used ilegally and abused, but has legitemate medical use. It is one of the meds used to sedate people who need mechanical ventilation.
Well if US imports Fentanyl from China it will. It's primary clinical utility is in pain management for cancer patients and those recovering from painful surgeries. Fentanyl is also used as a sedative. But that's on Trump.
No fan of Musk here, but my assumption what he's saying here is that with Dear Leader's new tarifs Canada, Mexico, China and all the other places supposedly pouring drugs in will suddenly get a hold on it, thus causing the supply to go down, and thus prices to go up. But he could just be stupid, too
I can’t stand the dude but Fentanyl is used legally the world over. It was on the list of drugs they gave me for my surgery back in February. So technically he’s not wrong. (Yes it hurts to say that because Fuck Elon)
The cartels might even branch out into smuggling normal goods! While the dogs are busy sniffing for drugs, they’ll be shipping in food and car parts instead
Please note the manipulation in the language used - "to charge China". Intended or not, but it is not China who will actually do the work to pay the additional cost.
No. He thinks that since the smuggling is going to harder the drug will be scarce and thus the price will go up. What he fails to understand is that white Americans are bringing it into the country
He's arguing that the tariff will put pressure on China, and they will wave a magic wand and crack down on drug manufacturers, and that will cause the price of fentanyl to rise.
He isn't being insane.
He's just fucking wrong.
The "war on drugs" had no effect on addiction rates.
I don't know about a "sharp" rise in cost, however, if users can't afford it anymore, they will turn to less expensive alternatives that may be even more dangerous to their health. The
Just the other day I over heard two heroin dealers talking on the bus about how heavily they are taxed on importing their products and how they just pass that directly to their customers.
No, he thinks, erroneously, that the tariffs will limit the supply coming into the U.S. thus increasing the price for whatever does manage to make it. In his imagination this will result in addicts giving up drugs, but that isn't how addiction works.
There is a movement focused on bringing manufacturing back to the US, and ensuring we have the natural resources to succeed. But Trump doesn’t know about those plans bc he can’t read and just believes tariffs will accomplish these goals. He is a CATEGORY 5 moron.
Not surprising, musk is an egomaniacal ketamine addict, an idiot whose “gift” is capitalizing on the work of other people.
He’s not an engineer, not an inventor, not a visionary of any kind.
He’s just a salesman in a the skin of a shark.

The unknowing leading the unthinking to the undesirable to the benefit of the unethical.
If he isn’t sure, then maybe he should ask Michael Jackson

All the money in the world and he can’t buy a clue.
It is prescribed everyday and used everyday legally in hospitals worldwide.
I’m sorry - I don’t make these rules

This doesn't work.
They ain’t gonna smuggle themselves.
It's the Kardashianization of a nation.
Doesn't that just make him sound even dumber than he already does?
