Trump said he would ban ev sales so idk

[–] DaddleDew 39 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Trump says whatever he feels that at the moment would get a positive reaction from the audience at the time with zero regards to consistency or truth.

At the moment of saying that, he wanted to gain Musk's support.

Musk is pretty much fucking Tesla into failure at this point, so he’d just have a convenient excuse for its fairies if the sentient cowlick banned EVs.

Edit: that was supposed to be failure, is it just me, or it’s autocorrect getting worse?
