Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Shorts are always risky especially and there's a chance that Trump mandates everyone buy a Tesla tomorrow or some bullahit but, and this is not financial advice, it seems like a crazy time to try and hold Tesla stock.
Tesla is going under. It is leveraged way too much. Didn't Bezos give Krasvon big money this week? Desperate sales pitch AT THE WHITE HOUSE. Shit's going down.
Any one who are reckless enough to take financial advice from fedi are already billionaires.
I shorted tesla today about 1030am. Wheere do i get my billions please
Exploit the shit out of that causality.
Are there any apes on Lemmy?
Get your GameStop nonsense out of here
Whoa there, I’m not promoting ape culture, I’m just curious if it exists here. I find it fascinating, and I’d like to see how it’s different on Lemmy.
More likely is Congress authorizing another TARP program for Tesla.
It's back up the last 2 days. Looking likely to be back up tomorrow, too.
Guess we'll see if sanity returns.
It won't last, the brand is already irreparably damaged. He was stammering all over the place when Kudlow asked him how he is running his companies, and it was clear he had something big on his mind.
I suspect he has either been informed that the Tesla board of directors is not happy about his poor behavior's impact on their company, and is pressuring him to change his behavior or step down as CEO, or he is being threatened with a shareholder lawsuit, or perhaps both.
The bloom's off the rose with Tesla, and it is now on a slow, inexorable slide down. It will rally a bit now and then, but HitlerPig isn't going to give a weekly infomercial to prop it up. Every bit of bad news, every crash, every recall, every missed production date, every missed release date, etc., is going to be one more drag on the stock price.
Most of Skum's fortune is tied to Tesla stock. If we keep pressure on Tesla, Skum will be forced to go back to work, or better yet, he'll have the humiliation of being fired because he put MAGA ahead of his legal responsibilities to his company and shareholders. If you have Tesla stock, sell it. If you are a market trader, short it. Everyone else should just keep spreading the word about how poorly they're designed, all their problems, etc. Call it the SwatiKKKar at every opportunity. Inform Tesla owners of their new public identity as Nazis, just for driving one. Encourage Tesla owners to sell, a rising used market will supress sales of new vehicles, and put Teslas into the hands of low-end MAGADorks and further damage the image of the average Tesla owner.
Tesla's public image needs to be crushed until it is the best example of a bad EV, and Skum's fortune has depleted.
10/10. No notes.
Words have no meaning with these types…
2022 Republicans: We are domestic terrorists.
2025 Republicans: You are domestic terrorists.
Well, good thing His Orangeness reopened Gitmo. How convenient with the upcoming influx of terrorists to disappear.
Gitmo was closed? I thought they were only expanding what was already there and in use.
It wasn't closed but it was left in a state that wouldn't allow it to detain tens of thousands of ~~illegal~~ immigrants and other ~~terrorist~~ dissenters without due process.
Well it isn't big enough to hold tens of thousands of people there, which I guess means anyone sent there will be ~~disappeared~~ processed for deportation faster to make room.
They are already expanding the detention facilities at Gitmo.
America has the largest percenrtage of incarcerated individuals in the world. The average maximum security prison in America is around 800-1500 people. The largest, in Angola, LA, is about 8300.
The new facilty in Gitmo, is expected to hold 30,000, almost 4 times larger than Angola. The clearly expect to hold a LOT of people there. And once they've processed as many foreigners as they can, they'll be looking for their next enemy to round up. Obviously, political opponents and the gay community are on the short list.
It should also be noted that Guantanamo Bay is in Cuba (weird), far from the prying eyes of the media or the courts. How are detainees supposed to meet with their lawyers? They could literally ANYTHING to those detainees, and nobody would know.
Literal concentration camp.
When cybertrucks are safer the kids in school. Welcome to MAGA World.
Not a car accident, it’s Terrorism.
