What does Musk know that he suddenly wants to suck off Europe? Trump and friends are known for hating Europe so why do they suddenly feel the need to want to be closer to the EU? What am i not seeing?
What does Musk know that he suddenly wants to suck off Europe...
Guess it's about Europe wanting to taxes digital services as a retaliatory response. Digital services are exempt of tariffs and it's the major export of the USA. It's even dumber when you realize digital services aren't put into consideration when calculating trade deficit. If it were, americans would realize they have in fact a positive trade balance with almost every other country.
Because the EU is as powerful as the US. The US can't afford to make enemies of both the EU and China, they can only afford one
Trump forgot that US is basically a service economy and his retarded "export" tariff equation did not include it.
Because the EU is as powerful as the US
kek yea right
suddenly
That was always the goal retard, hence the incessant use of the r word(reciprocal)
kek yea right
higher GDP
higher HDI
more manufacturing
US has a military advantage but Trump made Europe realize how big of a problem that is. Rheinmetall is already ramping up production and Volkswagen, Porsche and co. are all looking for ways to participate in rearmament. France is already a force to be reckoned with, and Poland is gearing up like there's no tomorrow. If Italy decides that they want to make something other than pizza and ferrari's then they have very significant heavy industry in the north.
Americans are quick to forget that Europe is a land forged in war.
Idk, I’m trying to stake as much as possible tho, now looking at galaxis after going live in abstract
yea im sure the electric tanks and wind based industry are popping off
USA doesn't care about tariffs on services because there is no alternative to FAGMAN.
higher GDP
higher HDI
more manufacturing
LMAO
russia has no fagman
Europe is about to do the unthinkable for Americans and cozy up with Russia.
Look at how the Finnish president has suddenly backtracked and said that Europe has the restoration of Russian relations as a long-term plan. Given that Finland is like an honorary Baltic state whose anti-vatnik rage isn't far removed from that of the three Baltic states themselves, this is significant.
It could be a bluff to bring the Americans to heel, I guess.
they are not going to cozy up with russia whilst putin is alive and they are still at war with ukraine, retard
Elon Musk realizes Tesla can only survive with Europe. If EU responds by hitting Tesla with more tariffs, it's game over for Tesla in a 500m market. Which would be disastrous since BYD is already destroying Tesla in Asia. If Tesla loses Europe, it's over for American EVs.
He wants to utilize the American and European industrial and ethno-cultural performance for his futuristic aspirations to compete against the rest, mainly China. That's why he engages in European politics.
Also, Trump and friends don't hate Europe, they hate the EU and most elites of the member states.
Probably this. Elon is a stupid faggot that was backing dems because they subsidized his cars and tech but switched to Trump. Now the only market left for his EVs will be EU, especially after he made everyone hate him (left for backing Trump, right for backing h1b/Christmas sperg out). This is why I don’t believe he’s some super genius, I’m also positive he has connections and money no matter how much he claims he doesn’t.
Elon really fucked up and Trump will probably kick him to the curb soon.
Just fyi, Europeans are manufacturing more modern tanks and artillery shells annually than the US. This isn't 2021
Russia has EU and US combined beat
US MIC is already complaining about europes rearmament, apparently they thought we would be buying american weapons instead of building them ourselves
Sure. They are in a war economy after all. If the US starts to redirect civilian resources to the army the way Russia has been doing then obviously the balance changes rapidly. Russia's growth potential is far smaller and it has also almost run out of growth potential. They will not be able to make much more annually this year than they did last year. But surely you didn't really think that the US and the EU with like 4-5x more population and a 10-15x higher budget can't scale up far more and faster than Russia if wanted right?
He realized how fucked Tesla is if the tariffs stand, something this genius man should have seen last summer at the latest. Its amazing that these people are just a bunch of fucking clowns like this.
Need to boil the frog for another couple decades. They started two world wars while inventing everything of relevance in the world, don't wake the sleeping geriatric giant.
US MIC is already complaining about europes rearmament
And there is NO GOING BACK, when Musk started throwing shitfits over Ukraine's Starlink access even when they were paid for by European countries what we've been theorizing about on this website for a long time dawned at everyone in the EU at once;
What if the F-35 really has backdoors?. What if they won't take off against the Russians because the orange faggot is scared or its just not in his interests? And just like that, the American MIC will NEVER AGAIN be in a position to sell its extremely expensive products to half the fucking planet. Good job genius president Trump lmao. This really is such a glorious watershed moment, I never thought I will witness shit like this in my lifetime.
feel the need to want to be closer to the EU
Is that how EU propaganda interpreted his "drop you tariffs and nobody gets hurt" statement? That was a threat in case it's not clear
Europe is a land raped in war. When was the last time Europe won any wars
it's not something to be proud of hivan
US
We’re deindustrialized, we buy majority of our critical components in our power grid and like 60% of our pharma from China. We build our military ships in Korea.
We can’t just scale up.
EU
Not resource or energy secure
Russia
Resource, food, and energy exporter with industrial base.
The west unironically shit the bed on this.
I’m American retard
You know how once eu became a free trade zone Brussels became the shadow gov? This is basically the same thing except usa is taking over
I know you’re American, only you could say something this retarded. Whether you look at the military side or Russians current economy, it’s obvious they’re absolutely getting clowned on by the west
he says
as Israel and EU is getting cockblocked by goat herders at the suez
lol ok bro
Only an American could be this retarded
Ukraine lost and had to say thwank you to Vance.
You’re wrong and seething
all because of you
not resource secure
French neocolonialism vindicated.
Yea, I did it. It was all me.
Seriously though,
Where does EU get energy from? Where do they source resources for their factories? It isn’t resource secure.
Yeah, that’s basically the only way they break free from the failing global system, but unfortunately they’ll be competing with Russia (who realized they’d try this and is trying to ruin EU potential supply line) and China (who also needs the resources since they aren’t food or resource secure but only a industrial base), so it won’t be as easy this time.
Sure. Soon they will have fought the Ukrainians longer than the USSR fought Germany, and they have barely moved the frontline.
You’re just ignoring that the entire west (including NATO) has exhausted their resources and supplies arming Ukraine and had boots on the ground (undeniable fact).
It’s over, Ukraine lost. The question now is, what will Russia do? Will they try to murder the EU/NATO to eliminate a threat?
Yuro countries already have a VAT on digital services. I know Swecucks pay like 25% extra tax on any digital purchase.
NATO bombardment of Serbia
muskerino is panicking because Tesla sales are going to 0
he really misjudged how normies would react to him
Ukraine lost.
you need to repeat it at least 5 more times in this thread, then it will come true
Bleed him enough and he'll cave like the pathetic little cuck he is, crying in his mother's skirt. Which is exactly what he's doing.
Ban Tesla cars just to see even more entertaining shit live on TV. Hopefully followed by a suicide by ketamine overdose.
you surely mean to say "the Ukraine"
Europe is not one country. What are you even talking about?
FAGMAN is literally less than worthless. Name one good thing owning a social media account has done to your life you shit for brains. Can you eat likes?
line go up! line go up!
Have you said thwank you once in this thread?
In what way is he sucking Europe off, he just was at a conference where he said pretty much the same thing he's been saying for months
half of the countries on the globe arent resource secure, it literally doesn't matter
and yeah it's because of israels war in gaza that the ships are being attacked by houthis, china has no problem going through the strait
Pretty much this, the "tech" is just an ads-propelled economy. Want to see some funny shit? Just have suddenly a mandatory Adblock/uBlock. Just have the EU commission have its ISP and mobile providers filter out Google Adsense, Facebook Ads, the equivalent on X or whatever, and see what happens when suddenly 1/3rd of your revenues suddenly go poof overnight.
- Cost of implementation: zero, or just a few admins that will be paid regardless at the end of the month anyway.
- Rapidity of implementation: 2h. Okay 3h, for an additional hour of testing before going live on production, and because the boss was enjoying an extra dessert at the cafeteria instead of saying the GO.
- Impact: disastrous, instant.
- Entertainment: infinite. Watching GOOG and META going -30% in a single session with multiple circuits breakers being triggered every 30 minutes. Entertainment going beyond anything thought could be possible when you see Kikeberg and co running to the oval office.
Should have done it years ago. Nobody in the fucking world needs fakebook, tinder, Amazon, gayflix and other American tech garbage
it doesn’t matter
lol wut?
Also I’m pretty sure you’re same fagging to keep the thread alive
VAT is not a tariff. It is a sales tax, Phewmurikan
Can buy from Ayrabs, Scots and Norwegians. If we came to a ww3 situation we could do without civilian ICE cars for a couple of years, we did in ww2.
ww3
we'll just buy from Arabs
You literally can’t get through suez right now, ww3 Norway will probably get hit of it doesn’t stay neutral
google play
I wonder how much is the gentoo gift card scam impact
You literally can’t get through suez right now
why nit?
Why do Italians love Tesla
The ports going bankrupts right now are Israel's, not Europe's. The trade is going around Africa, it already adapted long ago. Now it's literally whocares.jpg.
Already switching side
You literally can’t get through suez right now
What the fuck are you talking about? Did Vance get to you?
Oh I agree. Add youtube, reddit and even Anon Babble.
checked
Lol
Maybe it's the other way around, they never had too much Tesla's to begin with
Because Europe is a place where most people don't live paycheck to paycheck, which means it's a good market to have a share of
damn, whole earth is broke asf right now hahaha, even China is mostly about exporting things rather than buying the products
dude america was born from war lol. who tf cares how the country is made what matters is what's happening now. also
france being a force to be reckoned with
lmao. good joke Luc
it's backpedaling, because the EU didn't budge
and also this,
You all need to understand that they hate the EU because it prevents them from individually picking apart the smaller nation states to bend their laws for their benefit. Read about EU regulations and you can see just how much it has actually achieved and just how much EVERYONE respects those regulations, simply for business reasons.
WWIII is coming and we need friens. pissing off your closest allies with trade bullshit that doesn't matter even a little bit while russia and china plan to invade you is potatoe on head stupid.
the entire west (including NATO) has exhausted their resources and supplies arming Ukraine
We have been giving them our Cold War scraps retard. Everything we have given them was slated to be decommissioned. They have been butt fucking Russia with our leftovers from the 80’s.
The EU's retaliation is likely going to hit Twitter extremely hard
Have you seen the Tesla sales numbers for this year? LOL
