It's not genius. It's just good business sense.

Lots of investors do the same thing every day.

It’s a matter of scale. Few investors have the funds of Musk.

Trying to make this about "scale" is disingenuous.

That's like saying "If Democrats do it, it's okay but if Republicans do it, it's bad."

Try being fair, equitable and truthful.

Musk needs Trump to put prohibitive tariffs on Mercedez semis.

electrek.co

It begins: Mercedes eActros 600 electric semi truck enters production

With up to 500 km (310 miles) of all-electric range, the new Mercedes eActros 600 electric semi truck was designed for long-haul trucking.

The Tesla has greater range, but Mercedez is getting a year head start. The Tesla models won't be delivered until early 2026. Musk needs Trump.

The Tesla Semi has been in production since 2022 and they made deliveries in 2022 to PepisiCo in 2022.

Given the Tesla Semi's superiority over the Mecedes truck, I don't think Musk will be disadvantaged at all.

Besides, the US already has a tariff on European trucks. Trump won't have to increase that at all.

His wealth derives from goverment contracts.

I don't know of that many investors who managed to increase their wealth by $180B in just 5 short weeks. Musk is in a league of his own.

The Tesla semi won't be mass produced until the end of next year. Deliveries won't occur until early 2026. You're wrong again.

Tesla now plans electric semi truck volume production in 'late 2025'

Tesla has updated its timeline for Tesla Semi, its all-electric semi truck, with now a plan to reach volume production...

Kinda hard to roll semis out of a half-built plant.

Given you have no clue, I'll just dismiss you right now.

Musk already has a facility that can roll out...and has rolled out...trucks. That's been in operation for two years.

When this new facility is completed, he will kick it into high gear...and he has a better truck. Plus, he has the AI infrastructure to quickly make his truck autonomous.

Off topic, but do you drive an EV? Something tells me the answer is no. ;)

It is actually ON TOPIC because you defend Elon Musk and his semi but would you personally buy an EV? If you believe in man, you must believe in the business model?

When will the relationship break down ?
Trump has surely served his purpose but his continued presence will soon act as an anchor on Musks excitng policy initiatives.
Most people live for the day when Elon carts a sink into the white house.
