  1. Oh he already probably got concessions since the tariff on China was only 10%.

    A lot of Tesla parts are from China.

  2. > subject to criminal conflict-of-interest statues

    So fucking what? Who is going to enforce it? This is Donald Trump’s America. Laws are for the poors and politically unconnected.

    I know the news won’t say it because they don’t want to anger their billionaire owners, but just because they live in fairyland doesn’t mean we should.
