It serves him well The arrogance with which he went about the whole DOGE thing, and his words harshly criticizing basically every government employee. The sledge hammer approach to downsizing. Did he think the people will not look for ways to get at him? only God knows what will happen to him and his businesses when another istration comes in and start investigating him, Never mix business and politics He will learn the hard way 69 Likes 8 Shares |

“While Tesla assembles its vehicles in the U.S., the automaker is exposed to tariffs because it imports parts from other countries” I hope people that like to attack Made in Nigeria vehicles can see this. 22 Likes 6 Shares |

Tramp and Elon fvcked up. He went from cutting 2 Trillion in govt waste to 1 Trillion, then to 100 Billion. Now they ste claiming less than 500 million after fvcking up lices of so many people who have worked for the govt for most of their lives. Tramp and Elon deserves whatever they have coming their ways. 17 Likes 6 Shares |

Democrats want to punish him by spreading hate against them for shutting down their cash cows like USAID, VOA and big pharma vaccines and for not stifling free speech on Twitter

Or more likely, the Democratic Party's sponsorship of terrorist acts against Tesla vehicles and facilities

The biggest mistake Elon Musk made was publicly identifying with Donald Trump. Perhaps Elon Musk doesn't care about what happens to his companies anymore. He needs to take a class from our own Dangote who cannot publicly identify with any politician because he knows that doing so comes with consequences. He works with every politician in power. 26 Likes 4 Shares |

Why are people angry that Elon is cutting down government waste? He has always been against government waste. Why should a Nigerian be happy, seeing the contributions of USAID to destabilising the country so far? If the profit loss was strictly competition from other brands, then it's welcome because it will make him fix up his prices to compete. EV, just like Solar, is the future. Space Travel is the future. Robotics is the future. Seamless travels is the future. Fast Satellite Internet is the future. Elon has his hands in all of these pies. If Tesla EVs are taking a hit, others are not as well. Nigeria, for example, is seeing more investment in Starlink Internet. We saw on video, criminal elements defacing other people's cars, criminal elements vandalizing Tesla shops, and someone with decency is happy about that? Despite the billions they're saving the country, thereby generating revenue for other important schemes? That's just blue wall fighting back. Nah. I refuse to be part of this as a Nigerian. We've seen government waste money with careless abandon and we certainly need a DOGE to sweep through our books. We saw 10 billion naira earmarked for Solar installation. That is enough to assemble 10mW of uninterrupted power storage alone, absolutely all expenses covered. Is that a power substation or just for Aso Rock? Because Aso Rock cannot consume more than 500kW in an hour, so what's all that budget for 200 times more for? Armageddon? 5 Likes |
