Putin, even recently, is a practitioner of Judo. My money would be on him.

Perhaps you’re correct although most bullies are paper tigers.

Now Im regretting not buying Tesla last week lol... its at $317 right now and still climbing sharply today..

I think Elon is absolutely loving his decision to get involved with the Trump administration, and specifically take on the DOGE task.. his personal net worth continues to rise.. his time in the limelight continues to rise... Investments in his other pet projects and companies like SpaceX are booming...

Forbes says he is worth $395B today.. that's a pretty good bump from the $342B he was worth on last Friday..

At this rate I bet he is praying that Europeans crush all of their Teslas with tanks as quickly as they can get the task accomplished lol..

Several studies and AI algorithms predict Musk will be worth $1T by the end of 2027 (well before Trump leaves office)..

While I don't think those algorithms are correct (if they were, we'd all be billionaires.. they cant accurately predict the swings in the markets often enough to be of any use, etc).. I do think its telling that people that love Musk and people that hate Musk all agree.. he is going to remain in the top seat as the worlds wealthiest man for a long time to come..

I have not looked into it but I would bet that Starlink is contributing a significant amount or will soon. Just about everyone I know in rural areas in the USA is switching to it from HughesNet or other older technologies. There’s no comparison to the speed and service. My neighbors and I have all switched.

The Ukraine war was a great advertisement.

The problem with opinions, is that everybody has one, and I certainly don't care about yours

Dear Brent.

This is a gun and hunting forum with pivotpoint related to Africa. You have apparently no posting of your doublerifles , safaris, guns or reloading.

Why are you here in first place?. Just express with simple and few words so those with english as second, third or forth language understand you.
If you did owe some sence of humor you wouldn`t be standing out as a political fart.

Just hurl the stones and let see what you got…

The beautiful thing about reality, is that I don't have to justify myself to you, or anyone else.

Don't go away mad, just go away.

Back to the jet. If Hillary was in the White House and accepted the plane with it going to the Clinton foundation after she left office how would those on the right feel about it?

 

[Brent in Az]

A man who isn't going to be bought. Trump going after big pharma to help get medication prices lowered.

I think it's BS irrespective of party.

Sounds like insurance premiums will go up

 

[Wheels]

Sounds like insurance premiums will go up

Just curious on how that will happen.

Under Obamacare, profits are capped at 15% of total costs. Insurance companies have no big incentive to negotiate prices. If prices of pharmaceuticals go down I am not sure why premiums will go up.

Taking the jet is a bad idea on way to many levels.

 

[Brent in Az]

I would inspect that 747 from stem to stern. Every nook and cranny.

Yep, I’m loving my Tesla investment. Democrats are making me money! Some are burning them, others are buying them, the stock is rebounding.

 

[mdwest]

I bought Goodyear when I should have bought Tesla lol..

 

[Altitude sickness]

The anarchists don’t realize that approximately 3-4% of Tesla stock value is from selling Tesla cars.

 

[Altitude sickness]

It think the market has a lot more runway. Tesla definitely does. 10 yrs from now you will bemoan not buying in at even todays prices.

If Bessent gets his way (as in the Tax bill, major tariff deals, Ukraine ceasefire) the Market will be in orbit by late summer early fall. Baring some unknown global catastrophe or another attack on the Homeland.

I could very well have misunderstood. Please explain the plan to me. He wants the US consumer to pay the same price as nations who pay less. Theoretically the price would lower for us and increase for them in order to level out. If the price of the medicine remains the same that is. But you’re also counting on demand remaining the same to make up the difference. If that’s so then is not exactly a conservative ideal. Price controls that is. Don’t know where I was going with the insurance part but please enlighten me how it’s supposed to work
