    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?

      It‘s a bad bet because he is so insanely rich and powerful. Just take a look at Putin‘s Gasprom. Oligarchs know how to extract money out of a company before lesser oligarchs can get their hands on it. Avoid any stocks that are too close to the government right now.

      I do not remember trump selling beans. It honestly sounds more like something from the Carter playbook. I can imagine Carter with a nice little bean farm. I cannot envision trump doing even miniscale farming.
