I have one of those (GWM Ora 3). They're better designed, better built, and better designed than anything Tesla has made so far, so it's understandable why the Chinese makers are eating their lunch. Tesla was sales success only because the market was eager for electric cars with decent range while they were pretty much the only game in town. The problem is, Tesla engineers know how to put out decent drive trains with great autonomy, but everything else around those is crap. Now that people who actually knows how to build cars are catching up with the drive train and battery capacity, Tesla is toast.

The stock might stay up, sure, but as a purely speculative paper without any real value behind it, just like crypto.

Trump and Musk are CEO, aren't they ?

Fascists have zero regards for the law, fairness and impartiality, they wouldn't bother trying us or give us a right to ample defence. If that's the case, why would we give them what they deny us? It's called reciprocity.

Sure they would cry and demand thise things and accuse of of being "awfull, awfull people" (just to quote the Orangutan in Chief), not realising how hypocritical and manipulative this is.

Burn them all, I say. Give them no quarters and, when the time comes, take no prisioners.

How long before the CCP nationalizes Teslas' factories in China ?

Amerika Über Alles.

Here in South America, we've been painfully aware of US's empire building for more than a century. Trump is not the cause of the current events, he is merely one more symptom of Americas unchecked narcissistic exceptionalism.

Do you want Canada to pivot to China? Because that's how you get Canada to pivot towards China... I think.

I'm just a dumb tropical dweller from the deep south, so I will not pretend to understand Canuck politics or the whims of their people, but history shows that even liberal, democratic nations sometimes turn to tyranical regimes for protection against bigger threats. See Finland during WW2.

Something, something, enemy of my enemy...

Currency. Paper money that has high acceptance internationally, like US Dollars or Euros, both can be easily traded by local currency pretty much anywhere in the world.

Activision certainly won't. They're owned by the same Microsoft that just bribed the Orangutan in Chief: https://web.archive.org/web/20250112043306/https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/technology/3281096/microsoft-1-million-trump-inauguration/

There's zero chance they'll risk Melon lashing back at them because of a stupid game.

Well, they bought Occulus, so I don't credit the VR innovations to Meta, they just added the data collecting "innovation" on top of it.

Not to mention it was built on such a shoestring budget that it used stainless steel in several parts, had rivets that were not flush to the surface in places they wouldn't affect aerodynamics and used vacuum tubes on several avionics.

The last part, some tankies would want you to believe that it was stroke of genius from MiG, because tubes are less susceptible to EMPs. The truth is, the Soviet industry was so behind the west, they simply were incapable of manufacturing EMP hardened semi-conductors.
