US competition with Tesla isn’t even close and the only way anyone has able to get a functional charging network up and running was to piggyback off of Tesla. I know the Trump stuff is annoying, but there’s way too much criticism of Tesla out there that is our political emotion.

Trump is Tesla's only hope.

Elon knows Trump is a transactional person and as long as he supports Trump, he can get the necessary governmental treatment his companies need to survive (tax credits, Chinese EV tariffs, some sort of asinine Mars mission).

EV tariffs are going to happen throughout the entire west with or without Trump.

Western governments have discovered the Chinese plan to decimate western manufacturing by subsidizing it at over 10 X the rate required and seen in the west.

Vehicles matter because they are a means for war machine production.

He needs more than that. Both Mercedes and BMW are eating into high end Tesla sales.

Those companies are faltering without software talent.
