I'm wondering what Republicans think about Tesla stocks plummeting and people offloading their "Swastikars"...

@Pitchblue I've not seen or heard any real news reports about that, and quite what tripling the buying cost of a secondhand car would achieve I cannot imagine. So I doubt the veracity of the claim... which is on a Chinese-owned site.

More seriously perhaps would be whether the cars meet the appropriate Construction & Use Regulations / Type-Approvals so are in legal trim.

The normal Tesla cars seem to do so, and many have been sold around Europe. I gather that odd-looking Tesla pick-up with the angular panels and limited load-space (the Cyber-truck?) is not road-legal in the UK at least, due to potentially faulty brakes, and that someone who imported one privately from Holland had it confiscated. You'd be allowed to use it on private land at your own risk, but not the public roads.

@SteelHands I think that not realising the possible consequences is very common in the worlds of business, finance and politics.

No-one can reasonably predict the future with any certainty, but it seems to me that many decisions are made with no clear sign of even attempts to think beyond the next quarterly profits report, or the next election.

@ArishMell Not in my experience. Long view actions including the deliberate infusion of conflicting information, rewritten historical facts and the generation of social consent through "common knowledge" is a global chess game that's been rigged by the most wealthy ones living.
