Several billion dollars, from what I remember from the TrueAnon series on Tesla, the tax credits on EVs is basically the only thing keeping Tesla alive, they barely make a profit from selling cars, of which they make very few anyway. They do get tax credits which can then be sold which is worth a lot more. They can sell tax credits for cars "sold" but haven't delivered (pre-orders, essentially). The kicker is, even if the car is recalled or refunded, the tax credits they sold off for building an electric vehicle doesn't. They can build shitty and still make money.

The majority of Tesla's stock price is tied to the US government giving them free money for theoretical cars. Now it's so big, pension funds buy into Tesla

That was never a claim made by any Russian in power, but rather western warmongers (who probably had stocks in Lockheed Martin and/or Raytheon and/or Boeing)

"If we don't aid Ukraine, Russia could win in 3 days"

Mao era backyard forges making pig iron

Except it's 21st century Americans burning coal to power a tiny generator to mine miniscule amounts of crypto to hit Trump quotas so as to afford 75mL of raw milk for their family

>- We had a great time at the Hamburger Festival, we ate a lot of Hamburgers

- It was bad, I got dust all over my Tuxedo and Levi Jeans from the nearby Tornado Alley

- say nothing

Mikey Daniel: Ah, that's good to hear, I was told the Hamburgers at this year's fesitval had the best Hamburgers in the entire Prefecture.

Mikey Daniel: Unfortunately, I had to work on my father's Buffalo farm.

Sleve McDichael: Speaking of your father's buffalo farm, I just moved into an apartment in the skyscraper next door to that farm! I guess we are now also neighbours, classmate!

Was gonna chime in on the China thread because my grandfather is a revolutionary who joined the PLA at like 15 and his regret was not joining when he was 14 because he was sure he still could have held a rifle then. Then I saw he was banned. Fuckin' rip
