It's important to remember that none of Elon's companies would exist without decades of massive government assistance. Loans, funding, tax credits, government contracts, etc.
So what we have here is the absolute dumbest of people dismantling the machinery of American empire, cheered on by people who think their material conditions suck because there are a dozen trans people who play college athletics and not because billionaires have robbed them blind so they can be slightly wealthier.
USAID is a perfect example of this. USAID spends its budget on American companies and then it uses that product for influence in other countries. American empire cannot exist without exploiting the Global South. Foreign policy and military power exist to subjugate other countries. Domestic policy is simply dividing up the spoils.
All that's happening here is a massive self-own to American Empire that leaves a massive void China will fill. All of this will destroy Tesla. Elon is killing the market for Teslas, making them more expensive and any retributive tariffs by China will most likely target Tesla and the materials required to build batteries.
I'm rapidly becoming an accelerationist because there is no opposition to this and nothing will stop American decline at this point.
