The only reason Elon cared was due to the Outbound Investments provision in the original bill. It would add scrutiny to tech that goes to China from the US. Elon didn’t want that because he makes money in China.

[@randymarsh8004]

⁠@@yolo_burritovice versa. Tech coming from prc. Tesla buys their batteries and uses their driver data to improve the fsd brain. Which is certainly a huge factor but let’s not pretend like you or I knew what was in that pork laden bill. It was 1600 pages. I don’t like the guy or his politics, but we absolutely must be rid of the culture of rider bills, particularly in the annual debt ceiling “crisis.” They’re playing us for fools. There is no reason on this Earth that bill should include userra benefits for American citizens joining foreign armed forces.

But if you voted for Trump you don't care if our free and democratic country is turned into a corrupt dictatorship. Alot of Americans care about keeping our freedom and rights.

[@raymondn6388]

​@@mnomadvfx​Okay and? This behavior is still unacceptable. I dont know if you're an american, but this is new and damaging. Congressmen can reflect their party, but they never just followed a person. This has only happened with republicans and worsened with Trump. They want to reflect their people, but the republicans who voted them in, want a tyrant. Your either MAGA or a rhino to them, so it leaves a difficult situation for republican congressmen but choosing to be unamerican is deranged and just reinforcing the MAGA syncophants

Billionaires need to be ousted from politics completely and should be taxed heavily

[@realBeltalowda]

Limitarianism is on the rise. Make billionaires illegal by law. Put legal limitations on the amount of money one person can hold. No one should have so much money they can single handedly fund all operations of NATO for 14 years without going broke, because that is a danger to democracy and freedom the world over, just look at what happened to Russia when the Oligarchs bought all the state’s assets, or in China. It’s going to get bad.

But the nstion ris the embarrassment; it voted for this outcone, which was evident from 2016, and mega amplified by Trunp, at the Trump and Vance at Trump rallys, further revved up by the wealthiest manbin the world. They brought this on themselves through, an absence of morals, manifested by a distinct lack of love for one another, greed: admiration of wealth by wanting to be associated with Trump and Musk's money so badly, they went to the balot box and applied wilful blindness to Project 2025, and racism; some of the worst human traits, using their free will votes. Now, here you are. Trump went as low as to used the Bible to get you. Trump knows how America thinks and it worked! I watched dumfoundedly, how America voted! I know you are not all like this and I feel sorry for half of you who saw the truth of who these Republicam lizzards are, and tried to defeat them. But America deserve what they now get, because they asked for it through their votes. And I am not sure they will even learn from what's now happening and will happen in the future. BUCKLE UP.
