This is like saying Ghostbusters was founded on ghosts.
Attorney General Pam Bondi: "Our country was founded on law enforcement"
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

I guess if no Americans die the slogan "No Blood For Oil" technically still works.

Tesla bulls made the argument that eliminating the IRA tax credit (and emissions fines // ZEV credits) would help Tesla by discouraging traditional OEMs from making EVs.
There are HUGE downsides to Tesla losing those credits -- but there are some upsides.
