It’s not a question of if but when this back…fires. I’ll see myself out.

And if he carries out war crimes with impunity, the West will have lost whatever moral authority remains in its grasp.

Don’t drag other countries into this, there is no “West” including the USA anymore. You’re on your own.

That’s where the analogy breaks down for me. I don’t see a new hegemon rising at least not in the short term. But the US are loosing their iron grip on world affairs no less. Former allies stand back and a small country like Iran isn’t backing down. There are parallels to Ukraine, which is insane really.

Sure seems this way. This thing has barely begun and I expect things to get much, much worse.

Just a quick summary:

• insiders are selling huge amounts of stock
• sales figures in the last two months were horrible
• constant recalls of cybertrucks which are also basically not selling
• protests and vandalism
• brand is universally hated
• record trade-ins and sales of second hand vehicles
• no new models or products in the pipeline
• laughable vaporware announcements
• begging employees not to sell
• begging Trump for a sales show
• questionable accounting practices exposed in financial times

How anyone can still hold on to Tesla stock is beyond me.
