He claims tariffs are a way to "charge" foreign countries.
He's either a complete idiot or a total liar.

CityDig: A Snowstorm in Los Angeles? It’s Happened.

Got locked out of my Twitter account because I dared to type the words "Blue Sky" in a comment. What a pathetically petty little worm Elon Musk is.
