Yeah, if you force enough car companies to come close to bankruptcy, they’ll have to sell to Tesla before it folds. If left to true capitalism, musk would likely be broke before he dies. This is just an example, and the same model used for every major industry. If Tesla was valued as a regular company instead of a speculation stock, it would be in the dirt already.
I’m kind of hoping we (Canada) just ban Tesla and Elon companies in this stupid trade war, or preferably, fight dirty and disregard Tesla trademarks and make out own Teslas (while also banning the company). Elon’s wealth is tied to Tesla stock so if we can make even a bit of a dent in that, it’ll be a good day (and hilarious)
