Tesla lost a shitload of money when Houthis shut down the Red Sea. now that President-Elect Musk is soon to have access-by-proxy to an army, he’s gonna make sure this pernicious fuckery doesn’t happen again.

but he’s going to start in America’s own back yard — because Tesla uses the Panama Canal, too.

isn’t it amazing, the things you can find on the internet?

AND, see Rachel's first segment, Musk/Tesla/Trmp/Taxes, FIRST oligarch-related acts of tmp#2.
