VIL like "GOOD -- THATS BECAUSE I BLEW HIM OUT OF THE GOD DAMN AIRLOCK"
Musk wandering through a dark cave looking for Arce armed with a comically oversized wooden mallet, lights a nearby candle, hears a strange hissing noise
Suddenly Musk is drawn in by the scent of a delicious pie cooling on a nearby windowsill. He floats towards the scent but accidentally startles a cow that kicks a bucket onto his head. He stumbles around exclaiming "Who turned out the lights?" and falls down a well.
Like it's a fine joke, but I've seen some people unironically believe it, and Tesla has literally nothing to do with lithium in bolivia. Lithium extraction in Bolivia is still fairly new, most of the worlds lithium comes from Australia or Chile, and Australia is bigger for most of that stuff due to proximity to Chinese electronics manufacturing.
I don't get the logic here. Just because their lithium industry is not competitive yet doesn't mean foreign capital isn't interested. Of course investors want a friendly political climate to get a piece of the lithium triangle.
Sure but it wasn't Elon calling up the CIA and being like pls coup Bolivia like I've seen some people on Twitter unironically think. There's been efforts to coup Bolivia since 2008 long before anyone gave a shit about lithium.
"The US has literally nothing to do with oil in Iran. Oil extraction in Iran is completely decoupled from the US market, most of the worlds oil comes from Saoudi-Arabia, Russia or Canada, and Canada is bigger for most of that stuff due to proximity to US refineries."
There's been efforts to coup MAS in bolivia since 2008, that was before anyone gave a shit about their lithium reserves.
I don't doubt that Elon has nothing to do with it, but it is not a good joke.
