Is @conormcgregor.bsky.social afraid of foreigners because he got completely destroyed by Khabib Nurmagomedov ?

Weird that Greenpeace are the recipient. What's that based on?

I suspect they'll just pay the fine anyway.

How is he going to increase tariffs AND kill inflation ?

That just won't work.

He just tests the popularity of ideas on the public before talking to advisors about repercussions. It's mostly just talk without any follow through.

Yeah, they're great cars. And three years ago Musk was a hero. I wouldn't regret that choice.

80+ years ago means there is nobody alive today working in VW that collaborated with Nazis and buying a VW brand today is not supporting Nazis or a Nazi CEO.

Buying a Tesla now looks incredibly like it is.

(I otherwise like what Tesla is doing and sympathetic to all current Tesla owners).

I think those VW owners might feel their brand was being tarnished if the CURRENT CEO was doing Nazi salutes.

Can he really cut this off without Congress ?

There's been plenty of decent reporting about Trump etc.

The big issue is that mainstream media no longer dominates the information people are getting.

It's mostly algorithms controlled by billionaires now.

Any way of finding out what the industry paid the Business Post for this piece ?

Looks like things were just as challenging for men going all the way back to the Iron Age.

Yeah I agree

You mean regulate media and `social' media?

For sure. Democracies can't survive without it.

Though would Congress and the Supreme Court have come behind that at this point?

He should have been agitating for it, but would that have been popular ?

What could/should he have done to prevent it ?

I suppose the only good argument is that nuclear does take much longer to build and cost overruns are more unpredictable.

Though both nuclear and offshore wind are much slower to develop than they should be.
