Oklahoma goes "all in" on election denial. God, guns, and Donald Trump. Could this be actionable in the courts? If so, we have to relitigate election denial, AGAIN.

It’s critical not to put stickers on a Tesla but to sell it if finances can manage it. The dumping kills anyone buying “new”which is what fuels him with money 💵 and power 💥.

Lots of other EV alternatives.

More and more, we are seeing that Elon Musk is unreliable, not as smart as he claims, and a very poor administrator and CEO. Is it wise to allow so many Federal contracts to remain under his oversight? Doesn't management stability play a role in Federal contracting criteria? Answer: Yes, it does.
