    Lmao “call your congressman” from a billionaire. In 2020 Elon was able to get the governor of the largest, richest state to drop COVID restrictions for his factory. Now he’s tweeting as if he were a #Resistance poster.

        I mean it works for him. It would be pretty funny if he thought things just worked like that for everyone.

    Imagine hooking what’s left of your pathetic little curated echo-chamber to an (admittedly mostly unhinged) actual movement big enough to win multiple elections, repeatedly eat shit as a result, and still have a cult of personality, and then backing off to be like ‘call your congressman’.

    Spectacularly pathetic.

      Incorrect, that’s the Fiscal Year 2026 Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Bill.

      Unrelated bill, but one that’s considered must-pass. Stock the fuck up now.

        been stocking up for a long time now.

        my recommendations (tested for almost 2 years now): mason jars, a humidity pack, and one of those $20 mason jar vacuum sealers (run to 40-50 seconds). place in a box or other dark spot in a temp stable location.

        flavor, strength, color, etc is perfectly preserved

      It would phase out EV credits. Totally destroying Tesla.

      “Under the bill passed by the House, the consumer tax credit for new electric vehicles (worth up to $7,500) would phase out after 2026. But for most vehicles, it would actually become unavailable at the end of 2025, because it would only be available for vehicles made by automakers that have sold fewer than 200,000 EVs. (That’s a return to how the tax credit was structured before the Biden administration.)”

        There’s no way this is the rationale given he’s decided to do countless other, far dumber shit such as ally himself with a base that doesn’t buy his cars

      Several billion dollars, from what I remember from the TrueAnon series on Tesla, the tax credits on EVs is basically the only thing keeping Tesla alive, they barely make a profit from selling cars, of which they make very few anyway. They do get tax credits which can then be sold which is worth a lot more. They can sell tax credits for cars “sold” but haven’t delivered (pre-orders, essentially). The kicker is, even if the car is recalled or refunded, the tax credits they sold off for building an electric vehicle doesn’t. They can build shitty and still make money.

      The majority of Tesla’s stock price is tied to the US government giving them free money for theoretical cars. Now it’s so big, pension funds buy into Tesla

          The biggest problem him before was taxes and the threat of Chinese EVs that perform better and cost half as much flooding the US market

          The biggest problem for him now is the low taxes people trying to axe taxpayer funded subsidies for his dipshitmobiles and thinking EVs are woke.

          The biggest threat to him in reality is mixing quaaludes and amphetamines to replace sleep so he can yell at Twitter engineers to make Grok talk about Rhodesia and Afrikaners at 3:30 AM

          It’s actually kinda wild how more people haven’t paused to ask “hey how come this “”“car company””" that makes fewer than 2 million cars per year is worth more than the next 3 car companies combined, who together make almost 30 million cars a year?"
