      That might be the case - since Tesla's mostly built on selling EV credits and Ford is in the business of selling cars, they actually need people familiar with building EV platforms long-term.

        I watched a video of condelica rice eating all her former words about globalism and saying that it has failed and that she was wrong.

        They have no choice but to bring industry back or America is going to spiral fast.

          A real shocker that you can't stamp your industrial boot over other countries indefinitely and expect everything to be chill

            It's an auto correct device for all your past wrongs.

            Btw the video was nice to watch cuz she was grimmicing most of the time having to admit that they had no idea what they where doing and that the profit gains and unipolar world would be so short term.
