Tesla deliveries down 43% in Europe while EVs are up 31%

This is so weird, did he miscalculate how intense the backlash would be? or he truly doesn't care?

Man has bigger ambitions. Teslas were just a stepping stone to whatever he's unleashing on the world now from the White House.

Or he's completely deranged and the drugs have irreversibly damaged his mind. Both scenarios, or some intersection therein, are plausible.

He has 3 years left to convince the administration to allow non-US-born lizard people to run for president.

Or, more likely, to institute some kind of perpetual monarchy passed down through his 14 kids.

I'm not sure he understands that he will always be the Crassus to someone else's Caesar. Things don't go well for the money man.

History shows us that things actually go pretty well for the money man you just gotta remember to bring extra water rations when you march into Asia. I always liked to imagine him rallying his troops by telling them that Parthia meant virgin in greek or something like that Παρθία/παρθένος

Lots of examples from American history too though where things turn out better like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Girard
