Politics | Tesla Stock in Free Fall
Elon’s Swasticars Aren’t Selling, Tesla Stock In Free Fall, Trump Hawks On White House Lawn
When the constitution was written, the positions of senator and congressman were part-time jobs. The men would meet and take care of the country's business, and go back to their respective cities and towns and work in their respective fields. That could still be the case today, however … what we’re seeing is a different design.
Politicians have set up businesses whose purpose is to hold out a hand and accept huge amounts of cash from citizens, various organizations and foreign entities in spectacular conflicts of interest. As it turns out, not enough Nazi’s are buying Teslas, to keep the co-president’s company afloat. So the President must intervene on his behalf and hawk the vehicle to the public.
If I were a major shareholder in the nosediving Tesla, and I watched its CEO — the man who claims to have the blueprints to get the first human to Mars — film a Tesla commercial on the Whitehouse lawn with the thoroughly corrupt president he bought as the model, believing it was the surefire countermeasure to prevent further decline, I’d be underwhelmed.
