Remember Trump 1.0 selling beans straight from the White House?

Apart from that, TSLA most certainly is not good to bet on, despite its owner being one of the richest and most powerful people in the USA rn.

It‘s a bad bet because he is so insanely rich and powerful. Just take a look at Putin‘s Gasprom. Oligarchs know how to extract money out of a company before lesser oligarchs can get their hands on it. Avoid any stocks that are too close to the government right now.

Pick 'em, hull 'em, put on the steam

On Lemmy? Impossible!

I turn those around every time I go to the store now. They are "Goya" beans, and they are very shy.

Eh, as long as he stays in Trump's favour, Tesla will get a bunch of government contracts to keep them afloat. There was already the state department contract, they can keep slinging more contracts his way of they like.

Government needs to buy a hell of a lot of cars to minimize the losses Tesla is reeking in everywhere else.

EV sales grew by 27% still Teslas is down 70% in Germany.

Btw. who should drive them if all government workers get fired?

Am I the only person picturing a giant decommissioned airfield in Arizona completely covered in purchased and unused government Teslas?
