If we're talking the EV market, not the entire automotive market, yes. A market is healthiest with lowest prices if there are as many EV options as possible.
I disagreed with how Florida arrived at the decision, but I had no issue with the actual decision. I don't like corporate handouts and I don't like Disney as a corporation and how much it captures local governments.
It would almost certainly hold up. Proving a direction connection is incredibly difficult. There a plenty of tax policies designed to favor or punish one company in particular.
Depends on what time frame you're looking at. If you're thinking 5 years or less, you are correct. But if we're looking at 20 years or longer? Then competition is key for keeping prices low. And I wouldn't be surprised if Musk's mouth is factoring into this. I don't think it's provable and as I mentioned above there are no shortage of laws or tax policies targeted at just one company.
Well but monopolies are a thing. Competition is a good thing but why give anyone else what you have to start? Better to let them put out an inferior design and monopolize the market. If there is a market for it others will attempt but giving them the keys to get them to the same spot you are after 2 years is a big risk. US automakers dominated for years until the Japanese came along and built a better mousetrap.
Monopolies are not good for pricing. Not to mention if someone else supplants Tesla, they would lose the credits and Tesla would gain them. Or if the market has no leader, everyone gets the credits.
Elon is a yuge welfare queen, he's been helped plenty. He is where is he because of government handouts and he campaigned with the president to end the welfare he benefits from. He's getting exactly what he asked for.
May not be good for pricing but they are good for most businesses which is why we have laws to prevent that. It's not just about the credits. If someone supplants tesla they could lose more than that depending on the improvements made on teslas design. Again it is a big risk and all these companies get R&D tax breaks. Let them have at it. I haven't seen any new manufactured product give up their patents willingly so others could use their design. Could be wrong but don't think I've seen it. 2 years isn't long enough into sales to know you can stay ahead. It's why peeps sue over stolen engineering patents etc. Bc it will hurt them more than help them
Thankfully we can stick a fork in the Progressives; you’re done in this country and your tears are delicious.Elon is a yuge welfare queen, he's been helped plenty. He is where is he because of government handouts and he campaigned with the president to end the welfare he benefits from. He's getting exactly what he asked for.
The guy that appointed him thinks that climate change is a Chinese hoax.
Hopefully. He’ll lose. He’s a slime ball and California politics aren’t going to win the swing states.
He took the risks in all these innovative companies.... not true...
That’s not mutually exclusive, he can be and do both.
I’d think it was bad either way. Were you referring to Chinese made cars? We can’t let BYD into the market for a number of reasons.
Elon Musk is what the right accused Soros of being for years. It’s weird how the tables have turned.
Look the man doesn't spend like bezos, constantly looking for solutions to problems..maybe he thinks he can influence Trump who knows. He has NEVER voted a republican before this election. But the left lost him and he's voting his interests. Even cenq said he would help Trump. Now RFK who spent years as an environmental lawyer aligning with Trump. Does the govt produce wasteful spending? Everyone agrees on that. If he thinks he can create efficiency then he will. Does RFK think he can do good? Yes imo
He doesn’t spend like Bezos is a low bar. Also, Bezos isn’t commiting fraud by larping as opponents of Trump’s campaigns to smear them. Keep in mind that Trump spent the most since World War 2 as POTUS so I don’t really buy the fiscally conservative promise from him.

What’s going on,Rob? I didn’t think you were a Lenin supporter. Since when do you care about stuff that happens overseas, I thought you just cared about low prices and stuff that directly impacts you.
