Elon Musk tells the New York Times he's losing it. Financially and mentally. Tesla, one of the two electric car companies that received $1 BILLION in American tax dollar stimulus funds in the early 00's near total financial failure.
Tesla, just Saw it’s worst quarter of losses amounting to $520,000,000. This, because of several factors.
1. Tesla and Fisker were the WRONG electric car companies to grant stimulus funds. Fisker didn't even have a real car. Tesla came out with a $120k sports car when THE COUNTRY NEEDED A REAL SOLUTION to $4 gas.
2. $1 BILLION may sound like a lot but our country spends $500,000,000,000 a year on weapons and war. Right now Trump wants $50-60 BILLION to build a racist wall... $1 BILLION to electric car companies chosen during George "Oil Tycoon" Bush's administration was a joke.
3. Trump promised MASSIVE INCREASES IN OIL PRODUCTION. Which is the moron's way of curing a larger problem. THE WORLD IS RUNNING OUT OF OIL. Every year oil companies drill thousands of wells that come up dry. They're not tell you this are they?
4. Trump let the US car makers off the hook. Telling them to scrap improvements to gas mileage, come out with gas guzzling cars, to hell with a cleaner world someday.
5. Demand for electric cars fell off the charts as Trump's cheaper gas hit the market (But, now $3.50 gas ave USA is back... watch your monthly spending rise as every product you purchase increases to cover)
6. Overall, "kill the green" public attitudes. Trump allowing power plants to spew pollutants, backing out of the Paris Agreement, etc.
7. Tesla's building cars that CATCH ON FIRE, batteries failing, bad reviews, poor treatment of their employees... And, Musk flying off to Mars, owning a mansion in Bel Air... etc etc all lowers the public's view of someone who claims to intend to "save our planet".
All these factors make people shy away from electric cars.
