Trump 2.0 official thread

Tesla definitely lost its crown. Level 2 autonomous driving at best.

That might be true but it is still the best answer the US has. Amazon’s and google’s solutions haven’t really been going anywhere. I am not sure of other US autonomous driving solutions so I could be wrong on this.

Only area Elon is at the forefront is SpaceX.

That’s fair, but then what else can they trouble him with?

Google's solution is the best performing though. Waymo is the quiet winner. 1 million rides a week. It's the most formidable competitor in this sector.

Then I concede, I haven’t been as updated on this as I would like to be.

Since when did Trump ever think twice about the potential fallout of his policies?

Was this before or after Trump decided 145% tariffs on Chinese goods would be good for the American economy?



So you're telling us Trump's re-industrialization efforts actually, at least for now, still have a chance of succeeding?

Trump's short term real estate mentality falls short for manufacturing. Ren Yi goes over that in April.

I see your point, just that, with the Chinese he has been working on the assumption that they will cave.

In this case it would be on their home soil and the other tycoons will be looking at this situation as well, along with republicans whom are mostly businessmen as well.

Nope, I don’t think there is a chance in hell of it actually succeeding, but it’s still not at the point of an impossibility. This move will make it a firm impossibility, that’s all.

With all three of them present at the same time, isn’t this just going to be a repeat of the experience the Japanese had?

They are going be arguing with each other rather than actually discussing anything with the Chinese representatives.

Chinese reps can take out their Mate Pro 70s and livestream the fight on Douyin.

This might surprise you, but members of the American billionaire class tend to support Democrats over Republicans.

When Elon Musk first emerged as a supporter of Trump, he was very much shunned by Silicon Valley for it. Mark Zuckerberg didn't "kiss the ring" until after Trump was re-elected in November 2024. Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post, which of all the major American newspapers, has been Trump's toughest critic since his first term.

If the Trump administration was to seize control of SpaceX, Musk might get wiped out, but that doesn't mean any other shareholder, big or small, will necessarily get burned.

In fact, from the perspective of a shareholder, especially an institutional investor, it's normal, if not good business to remove CEOs who upset regulators and customers simultaneously, and Trump represents both categories.
