He did a little oopsie
Oh, nice, perhaps he should kill himself.

If you and Elon Musk are playing bad-cop-good-cop, how shitty of a person do you have to be for Musk to play the good cop?
This sound a lot like Russia saying they want peace. You know the argument that"if Ukraine just gave up their territory, government and freedom there would be no war, it's their fault!". Same here, if Europe removed all their social security and pesky regulations so that US companies could do everything they wanted there would be no tariffs!
"Look what you made me do"
After the report the other day that Trump said Musk would soon be gone, with Musk responding that that was fake news, I was expecting Trump to be playing the good cop.
Now he is crying over tariffs after losing EU market.
Look at his smug stupid face.
I despise him so much.
I'd say just about the same thing if I had lost a whole Boeing's market cap worth of stock value in just about few days.
You’d have thought a great business man would have foreseen this.
Confiscate his stolen wealth for social security and deport him back to South Africa!
Go fuck yourself, elmo
Alternative headline: Musk pretends to be critical of policies he's endorsed and supportive of countries he actively interferes in the elections of
Fuck off Musk
They’ll still hate Tesla almost as much as they hate you, Elon. They won’t suddenly start trusting Xitter or Starlink, either. Just shut up and go away.
He said this in the far right political party of Salvini, current rival of the far right prime minister Meloni. Weird I thought they were loving each other, Did Meloni push him back?
I'm calling him Enron from now on.
Sure, let's start negotiations, you drop the tariffs while they're ongoing.
It will never work because the US will want to slash labor unions and Europe wants better product standards, but we can call his bluff.
Putin is not gonna be pleased, how dare his muppet not follow his word! An emergency meeting between Muppet #1-3 and Putin is in order. On Signal, in a group with Assange.
Which is roughly what we had before he rode Dirty Diaper Donny into the White House.
Well it's a little late for that now.
Nahh. It'd be better if Europe placed higher tariffs especially on Musk owned companies. Ban them from government contracts
just sanction musk and his companies.
The problem is that Trump doesn't understand what "tariffs" are, and thinks that a trade imbalance is somehow a tariff. Trying to comply would be like Mattingly trying to trim his sideburns.
Yeah the US has a population 350 million which is one of the highest in the world. There are going to be trade imbalances because we will be consuming more stuff than other countries with much lower populations.
I own a computer store. There is a guy outside that shines shoes. I pay him about $30 a year to shine my shoes. Business has been pretty good and I like nice shoes. He never buys a computer from me (says he cannot afford it).
Clearly he is taking advantage of me because we have a huge trade imbalance. Nasty, nasty guy. I am hitting him with tariffs soon.
I think you mean money
Well, I want ice cream and a pony. Maybe two ponies.
I'll come on pony rides with you

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
