I used to think it was a straight market manipulation to short the market, coupled with a crypto scam.

Here's my latest prediction for the next step: as well as being a geopolitical tool, I think they plan to use Trump's tariffs as a way to funnel more tax revenue into US Government to be directly laundered for themselves personally. The reduced order volume doesn't matter to them because 25%, 50%, 100% or whatever tariff they charge goods and services will go straight to the US government to be compliantly fed into Musk's ever-expanding business interests via government contracts. Some of those in the loop get vested stock options and get to run away with exponentially more money than they would without tariffs. Musk has already paid his dues so probably thinks they owe him.

They already tried to alter an agreement for 480,000 contract to Tesla for armed cybertrucks to be 480,000,000 and backdated it to look like it was agreed by Biden last year.

I expect to see a multi-billion AI contract awarded solely to xAI in the near future.

Not just adolescents.

And fishsticks are... breaded, they're fried, they're frozen.

I don't think he'll ever get it.

They all look like 80s lego sets.

Heaven forbid someone in Whitehall gets a headache. Won't someone please think of the beaurocrats!

Look at it this way, if they did indeed arrest and frame an innocent man for convenience, maybe he will.

Fair point, but potential returns are massive, and if they were targeting likely evaders , they could compound the money spent on manual checks (a list of high ranking Republican members might be a good place to start)

I may be behind, have they installed a Republican shill in directorship in the IRS as well as defunding them? If not, then they should still have agency in fund allocation

They should have cut all IRS investigations except the wealthy.

The USA was formed to screw Great Britain. What goes around comes around.

This is where they find out that it is very difficult to tell the difference between apolitical bodyguards and anti-capitalists with a gym membership.

I mean Trump has literally forced both Canada and Mexico to move a standing army in the thousands to the borders now, so I see he is not wasting time with this casus belli.
