This is most probably illegal, even in the US. But, oh well, it’s just Wednesday in naziland.
It’s almost certainly a huge ethics violation. And it’s disgusting. The gop doesn’t even pretend to have integrity anymore.
No market manipulation is illegal in the USA for quite some time now.
Illegal is only illegal if someone is willing to prosecute it. Who pray tell is going to charge the Secretary of Commerce?
Google that guy and his relationship with Tether Inc.
Okay, got it. I’m a bit confused though about how that changes my statement around the fact he won’t be charged.
I think they meant it just as a “he’s even more slimey then you think!” not an indication of if they’d be charged or not.
Got it! Yeah it’s hard not to hate how much they’re getting away with.
Yep
The Democrats are going to have to wave those little round signs extra hard.
And then vote for the bill that makes this legal.
Except for the fact that he is single handedly responsible for a massive decrease in teslas value. I would not bet on anything he touches because even if he were loved inside the US, he is now despised everywhere else. Tesla was built on left wing progressive ideals and so was spacex, and solarcity, etc etc. Musks turn to the right betrays all of those who liked his companies for ideological reasons. I don’t expect tesla stock to recover any time soon.
This.
Not sure how he imagined a hard pivot from the left to the right was going to pan out.
Early on I was a huge fan and kept telling others he wasn’t like the other CEOs, it wasn’t about the money. It became obvious a couple years ago I was horribly wrong. The worst part is some of the people who distrusted him before now are all in.
These people are not charismatic at all, I don’t get how they keep fooling people.
He’s been a known union buster for a long time tho
Yeah at that point I was still believing his BS about how it wouldn’t be good for the employees or the company. I just got hopped up on someone finally helping stop climate change in a meaningful way.
Simpler times…

Just an international correction to compensate for the US’ Overton Window:
Tesla was built on
left wing progressive ideals**wealthy believers of climate change.
“Left-wing” is such a polluted term now lol.
If Tesla was built on left-wing progressive ideals it would be a workers co-op focusing on quality. It’s always been a for-profit company from day one.
That’s awesome
When the government starts promoting particular products, whether it’s Goya beans or Teslas, there is a line being crossed. This administration is completely topsy-turvy.
The precedent was set with Goya. It’s now only permissible to the GOP. President sponsored private businesses is such a fucking insane thing.
Disgusting. His “joke” about running over the reporter is even worse.
He forgot the Golden Rule.
Never bet on a fucking Nazi.
- Never get involved in a land war in Asia
- Never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line
- Never bet on a fucking Nazi
Never try to invade Russia during winter
Unless you’re the Mongols of course.
So the big guys want to dump, right? Is reverse Cramer still up?
Looking for bagholders lmao
Next week they’ll probably try to rename the country as United States of America sponsored by Tesla Motors.
United states of Tesla sounds better.
I still prefer United States of Moronica.
Encourage the public to buy it while executives unload millions, yeah, wonder why they are recommending that.
He literally rug pulled a shit coin and then did it again with Melania lol
It’s two part. Trump’s cabinet is filled with natural liars, and they love money more than life itself.
People who take this advice are going to be disappointed when Tesla gets outcompeted by every other EV company and it drops to zero. It’s just like the trump shitcoins. Just scamming their base at every turn because they’ve gotten used to lying about everything without consequences.
Once upon a time, Government was neutral towards brands. Or at least not as blatantly biased as Trump and Lutnick are.
They’re starting to reek of fear…
Commerce Secretary is heavily invested in tesla stock.
dump that stock.
make the bank collect on Elon tesla stock loan collateral.
make Elon pay taxes on that stock.
Yes fox viewers, you can be bag holders, do it.
We’ll be back with more US government right after these messages!
