    The elon and trump feud is a smokescreen for the media, to cover up other things. The fallout between the two is a laser, and we’re all cats.

      Trump threatening to take away Musk’s government contracts is pretty serious for a smokescreen. Even the threat of doing this could destroy the companies, even if he never intended to follow through.

        It may have destroyed a normal company. But musks empire is so out of normal market rules that the thread won’t do much harm I would think

          Unless Tesla gets bailed out I don’t expect it to survive much longer, consumers already don’t want his badly built and overpriced swastikars anymore, and this is yet another blow to the company. Musk leaving the government won’t save Tesla from itself.

          It needs government money or it’s done.
