Trump will end Biden's EV (tax credit) policies
- Thread starter voyager

It’s pretty classic Elon Musk to say something like that…
It doesn’t mean that A) he doesn’t plan to give any more to a PAC or SUPERPAC… so NOT a candidate technically, right in the EM tricky messaging wheelhouse.
Or B) doesn’t mean that he isn’t going to LOAN 500M to the OI, so it’s NOT a donation and not direct to a candidate, it’s just a loan between friends. (And since it’s the trump co that owes the majority of the money he could LOAN Trump Co. the money)
And his tweet can still ring plausibly true.
Frankly, I think EM might just do exactly one or both of these things, but get concessions that a possible / probable future OI administration does NOT eliminate all the renewable benefits or tax credits, etc. It’s worth more to EM and Tesla to keep those things, than to lose out on 500M in interest or for EM to keep losing BILLIONS of net worth per week going forward.

No one is forced to buy an EV, nor mandating the end of ICE vehicles, that's hyperbole.
If you don't like the tax credits, that's fine. Many of us have misgivings re: tax credits, but let's put home mortgage deductions, child tax credits and all the other deductions/credits on the table too instead of choosing those we like, or don't...
If they are taking away EV subsidies, why not take away oil subsidies, take away all subsidies and not just one sided.
