Also, under President Biden, we drilled more oil than any other time in American history. Ole Egon and crew have zero desire to lessen taxes. Trump has walked back all his promises, stating he cannot promise a thing.

[@orionbetelgeuse1937]

no, the ev's will not lessen the demand they will just change the buyer. On the other hand a permanent support for the ev's will stop their development because they would sell anyway , they don't have to get better.

[@steveellsworth2547]

@ The part about the support is false. Why do you think Musk wants to do away with the subsidy. It’s economies and production of scale. Must also received the benefit of those subsidies prior to him building out those batteries and processes. Musk wants to stop anyone from going through the same production doorway he had the benefit of going through.

Of course Elon agrees! He knows the EV fantasy fad is coming to an end and now that he has all the money he will buy legacy car brands now that he's destroyed them and all his fanboys will start to buy his petrol cars because he's such a visionary. I never liked EVs anyway and I cannot wait for the mandates to end!

I’m so happy that the EV mandate is going away! I still don’t understand how is going to help Elon though.

[@edwardlinne2156]

Tesla has about 40 billion in the bank and makes about 10k on each vehicle. Rivian and Lucid are digging a deep hole and Tesla is strong and is getting stronger and has leveredge to get lower batterty prices chips etc. They also recently decrease the price of the electric motor by 40 percent. They are like Muhamad Ali looking down at Sonny Liston. All the legacy car makers are in very bad shape and have tons of debt.

Elon will get green credits bought by the ICE makers!

[@orionbetelgeuse1937]

[@orionbetelgeuse1937]

it's easy, all the big automakers like ford, stellantis and so on will stop making ev's and tesla will have all the 8-10% of the market which still wants ev's just for them

Elon doesn't mind a small hit in the short term if it'll wipe out some competitors.

I like Musk, but of course Musk loves this. Early companies like him, got the deals. This is pulling the ladder up after he's at the top. Can't be helped though. It's a dumb thing. He makes out, but it's a dumb thing.

[@johndork6387]

Taxpayers should not be made to pay for EV tax credit, student loan and single mothet benefits and othet give aways. Its not good to teach people to br lazy and rely on handouts. Thr days when folks have dignity, good work ethics, value family, obey laws and love God and their country is coming back because of Trump.

The GOP only cares about the top 1% and this move against EV's just proves it. EV's are here to stay rather you like it or not. Find something else to hate on ... try hating on all those $billions in fossil fuel subsidies. I don't hear you whining about that.

[@levigato125]

@@donotcare44 Hate to break it to you, but most of those 1% are from the left these days.
