I hope Wall Street has figured out two things: 1. Trump is a disaster for the U.S. economy. 2. There is no price at which many of us would ever buy a Tesla. I wouldn't take it for free with a $5,000 rebate. I think they have an inkling of the first but…

Donald Trump has taken over the GOP, he is neutralizing the business and legal communities. The biggest obstacle to his ambition are free and fair elections. That is why he is attacking them via executive order and it is why we are fighting back in court.
