The best case scenario is that this is a stock shorting scheme, and in a week, there will be masterful (non-existent) "dealmaking" that removes the tariffs after the billionaires buy the dip causing a massive transfer of wealth.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

The reason Trump has slapped tariffs on the entire world is not to protect American workers.
What Trump cares about is being able to get concessions out of other countries and corporations that seek exemptions.
It's all about his ability to hand out punishments and rewards.
