You may have seen a video circulating on Whatsapp and the most social media platforms purporting to show Trump announcing he is banning the production of Tesla cars in the United States. AS soon as I received this video I could tell something was off.
There were no reports of such an announcement on any mainstream media outlet and with such legacy news outlets being so desperate for viewership and reach, they would not must putting this out as breaking news.
A quick fact-checking search will show you that there is no mention or such announcement from the incumbent president of the United Stated Donald J Trump who would be quick to fire off an X post as he has done the last few days when attacking his previous comrade Elon Musk.
Do yourselves a favour and always take anything circulated with a pinch of salt and use your critical thinking. How would it look if the US President who vouched to increase productivity and manufacturing in the US and to create more jobs were to shut down one of the largest manufacturing companies in the country? It wouldn’t look good at all. And for all his faults, Donald Trump is not an amateur when it comes to business. He will put aside his feud with Elon in the interests of the USA.
Whether his intentions to ‘Make America Great Again’ are as genuine as he wanted many to believe, though, remains to be seen.
If anything, 200ish days in and his legacy is on shaky legs. The Technocrats he has allowed into his close circle and those associated with them and their companies such as PALANTIR, META, X, and the rest of the PayPal Mafia indicates he wants to eventually create a social credit system and further increase the reach (and breach) into citizen’s privacy and data farming on a whole new scale.
All the promises of the Epstein files being released, the ‘cleansing of the DEEP STATE’ and the ‘SWAMP’ seem to have all disappeared and it seems the swamp is turning into a bog the size of Yellowstone park.
