How so? Tesla had no product, basically no employees, and no money. There are other things to hate on Musk for, but is there any indication that he wasn't involved in the company like a cofounder would be?

ITT: dude's been living in $200/month flats and wonders why people living in $2000/month luxury apartments are enjoying it so much

You realize how much money is going towards EV subsidies? They're extremely inefficient uses of money.

A53 is used for low-power and low-cost applications... It's a "good enough" CPU that has really good performance/area.

Perfect performance counters for OoO is really hard.

OoO also makes BP more useful. An OoO processor without BP isn't very useful because there aren't that many instructions between branches... So, generally, modern OoO processors dedicate far more resources to BP.

The government is limited in monetary policy by inflation.

Of course, the Petrodollar doesn't really have this problem, but it ends up exporting inflation around the world.

There's no way the in order A53 from 2012 gets even close to the performance of the OoO A78 from 2020.

Sweden realized they couldn't join NATO if they invited Chinese expertise to help build a nuclear power plant.

New EVs in China are going for 10k, so it's clearly possible...

Stopping climate change by...

Removing fossil fuels from the grid? Reducing methane leakage in natural gas transmission? Developing domestic nuclear energy?

Maybe reducing car-dependency to make more efficient use of land and reduce the excessive amounts of taxpayer money being dumped to subsidize suburban development? Reducing inefficient flights between close cities (LAX-SFO, BOS-JFK-DCA)? Building more efficient buildings?

How about taking advantage of the already insanely efficient supply chains in China that allow for the development of sub-10k EVs? Helping those companies launch in the US and bring their expertise with them to accelerate the EV transition like China has?

Nah, let's just give some more money to a few big EV manufacturers, I'm sure that'll fix everything.

Loans are costs too. It's tying up capital that could be used elsewhere
