How to ruin your electric car business by Elon Musk

[JT45242]

12. You forgot step zero....

Make an EV that has zero chance of turning a profit without selling your green vouchers to other suppliers....so that you must align yourself with the most vile politicians, because really progressive politicians and bureaucrats may realize that allowing one company to sell green car credits to the other companies making gas guzzling SUVs will not actually help climate change.

But. Oh snap, those vile people who don't see through you, do not believe in climate change and want to undo the rules that help your company....if they win and change the law, green car credits have no value, so my car company cannot turn a profit, in fact it will lose a shit ton of money....

Now you need a government that is in hopeless gridlock so that no laws can change in either direction....

Grasping at straws you hope to replace Putin's previous puppet with yourself by taking over a social media company that cannot monetize what it does... probably didn't think that through....
