He does (or should) care because he won't get any money from the person she sells her car to. This sale, plus thousands of others like it, translates to millions of dollars in lost sales of new Teslas.

As usual from CATO, a superficial analysis, cherry-picking the part they liked out of an enormously complex cascade.

It could happen, but the time constants are long. If we see $10 it will be on the next guy's watch. Trump will claim it wouldn't be happening if he was still running the show.

Worst person, not worst candidate. Trump is one of the best conmen that ever lived. A moron, but with feral cunning.

Jesse,
I am curious what challenges USA companies face sourcing graphite. Could you provide a link or two? Graphite is easy enough to manufacture, so cost is the big issue?
Thanks

Until the Venn diagram of assholes and conservatives is a perfect circle, I think it is fairer to say something like "Assholes join Bluesky, are shocked to be treated like assholes."
