General Discussion

Better we simply focus on the facts.
Elon Musk torpedoed a spending bill based on absolute malarkey.

Either Mr. Musk is stupid
Lazy
Or deliberately lying

I don’t know which one it is.
Could be a combo.

I do know the original bill Mr. Musk torpedoed had serious restrictions on China’s use of our (American’s invented/ patents) technologies.

It looks like more people should be asking representative Rosa de Laurio’s questions. Did Mr. Musk kill the deal to protect his Chinese facility (producing 50% of Teslas) ?

Representative DeLaurio wrote the following:

“It is particularly disturbing that Musk may have sought to upend this critical negotiated agreement to remove a bipartisan provision regulating U.S. investments in China in order to protect his wallet and the Chinese Communist Party at the expense of American workers, innovators, and businesses.”

That is the important question.

Mr. Musk holding the GOP’s dear leaders puppet strings is a better way to describe that weird situation.
