Oopsy, turns out there's consequences for working to elect a demented maniac!

Elon Musk’s electric-car maker Tesla has warned that President Donald Trump’s trade war could make it a target for retaliatory tariffs against the US and increase the cost of making vehicles in America.

In an unsigned letter addressed to US trade representative Jamieson Greer, Tesla said it “supports” fair trade but warned that US exporters were “exposed to disproportionate impacts when other countries respond to US trade actions”.

I mean, yes they're not entirely wrong. On the other hand, at this point it doesn't really matter anymore. No one's buying that shit even at current prices, increasing prices with tariffs can't really make that any worse IMO.

Until Trump rolls out some subsidies, because it would probably be illegal if Tesla didn't make enough profit or something ...
