Tesla aren't too big to fail.

Unlike GM or Ford, Tesla is tiny. Only their market cap is big, and that's all based on thoughts and prayers not fundamentals.

You’re expecting government to act the same as in the past.

Considering their fallout I don’t think Trump would be all too happy to approve a bailout for

Their point is musk is still getting those sweet government deals. So his falling out with Trump didn’t fully end his access to the government grift money.

Different goals. Elon's probably more willing to make uh an unethical ai. Private company. When it comes to Tesla, no real reason it can't fail.

Billionaires and politicians can magically bond together after years of mud slinging.

Look how quickly the tech bros like Bill Gates and Tim Apple allied with Trump after being hardcore DNC loyalists for so many years. And they'll switch back just as far.

No way the orange traitor cunt will bail out musk.
