Remember Trump 1.0 selling beans straight from the White House?
Apart from that, TSLA most certainly is not good to bet on, despite its owner being one of the richest and most powerful people in the USA rn.
Eh, as long as he stays in Trump's favour, Tesla will get a bunch of government contracts to keep them afloat. There was already the state department contract, they can keep slinging more contracts his way of they like.
Government needs to buy a hell of a lot of cars to minimize the losses Tesla is reeking in everywhere else.
EV sales grew by 27% still Teslas is down 70% in Germany.
Btw. who should drive them if all government workers get fired?
Am I the only person picturing a giant decommissioned airfield in Arizona completely covered in purchased and unused government Teslas?
I heard they spend so much time on lots they become bug infested.
