“That 25% import tax? It’s a sledgehammer to Tesla’s global supply chain. China’s 125% counterpunch? A death blow to Musk’s biggest growth market. He’s admitted it’s killing him, but he’s too chickenshit to call out his pal Donnie. Instead, he’s stuck watching billions vanish as competitors…run laps around him.”
—Dean Blundell, Elon Musk’s Empire Crumbles

“China’s BYD is kicking Tesla’s ass, shipping 318,000 cars in February 2025—a 161% jump—while Tesla’s China sales collapsed. Europe’s gone cold, Australia’s done, and even the U.S. is losing faith. But the real gut punch? Trump’s tariffs. A 25% levy on imported vehicles has slammed Tesla’s margins, and China’s retaliatory 125% tariff on U.S.-made Teslas has turned a key market into a kill zone.”

Another pathetic whimper from the American elites! Treasury Secretary Bessent now admits that their trade war against China is unsustainable. The same gang that imposed hysterical tariffs now whines about consequences. This is what imperial decline looks like.
While Japan and the United States have busied themselves with trade-war minutia, the elephant in the room has quietly made itself known. The value of the yen is suddenly front and center. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/04/22/economy/plaza-accord-20/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #usjapanrelations #tariffs #trade #donaldtrump #japaneseeconomy #ryoseiakazawa #us #yen #dollar
So just to recap: #Republicans have largely stood back & stood by in recent weeks as the #Pentagon has been thrown into #chaos & as #Trump’s #tariffs have thrown the #economy into disarray.
If anything reinforces Trump’s dominion over the #GOP, it’s that. The economy & #NationalSecurity are issues lawmakers tend to regard as among their most sacred & important, but even they apparently don’t rise to the level of doing something.
Even on the gravest of issues, #GOP can’t summon the will to question #Trump
Just weeks after #Republicans stood by as Trump’s #tariffs threw the #economy into #chaos, they’re doing the same w/ #PeteHegseth & #NationalSecurity.
It took Pete Hegseth just 3 weeks as #defense secy to make what the powerful Republican chairman of the Senate Armed Services Cmte called a “rookie mistake” that left the senator “disturbed.”
