Elon Musk says he wants 'zero' tariffs between the US and Europe

Alternative headline: Musk pretends to be critical of policies he's endorsed and supportive of countries he actively interferes in the elections of

Sure, let's start negotiations, you drop the tariffs while they're ongoing.

It will never work because the US will want to slash labor unions and Europe wants better product standards, but we can call his bluff.

The problem is that Trump doesn't understand what "tariffs" are, and thinks that a trade imbalance is somehow a tariff. Trying to comply would be like Mattingly trying to trim his sideburns.

What happens if it does?

Elon might get fired

[baldingpudenda@lemmy.world]

He took loans against his tesla stock to buy Twitter. If the value of that stock gets low, The banks or whoever will ask for their money. They could also sell the stock to try and recuperate some of the money and that will cause tesla to drop. Which will cause investors to sell and it's a spiral until hopefully he's broke. Thata why hes crying about the protests, telling his workers not to sell their stock, and having trump and his propagandists say support the asshole buy a truck!

Which is roughly what we had before he rode Dirty Diaper Donny into the White House.

He said this in the far right political party of Salvini, current rival of the far right prime minister Meloni.
Weird I thought they were loving each other, Did Meloni push him back?

Go fuck yourself, elmo

[cocopanda@futurology.today]

Dude is gonna get whacked by a mentally ill vet he got fired. Calling it. I know so many mentally ill vets that could only work for the government. Those people won’t find jobs and they will blame Elon. Calling it.

Two comments:

1. If you and Elon Musk are playing bad-cop-good-cop, how shitty of a person do you have to be for Musk to play the good cop?

2. This sound a lot like Russia saying they want peace. You know the argument that"if Ukraine just gave up their territory, government and freedom there would be no war, it's their fault!". Same here, if Europe removed all their social security and pesky regulations so that US companies could do everything they wanted there would be no tariffs!

Naa this timeline is dumb they'll just say its gods plan and blame atheist gay vegans. I want to be wrong so bad.

[cheesetoastie@lazysoci.al]

Oh god you're right. Research into lone actor grievance fuelled violence shows that people who are more likely to do it include unemployed people with MH issues and access to firearms. Musk inspires a lot of hatred and the news is saturated with him, someone already shot at Trump... it's gonna happen.

I'll come on pony rides with you
