  • While interesting, this article seems to assume we still live in a democracy with separate but equal powers.

    Section 1245 of the NDAA explicitly prohibits the transfer of F-35 aircraft to Turkey as long as the country remains in possession of the S-400. Unlike CAATSA, this law does not provide the president with discretion to suspend the restriction unilaterally.

    Trump will just do it regardless of the restrictions. Who would check him?

    Congress will likely not do anything to check his powers if he violates the law on the books. I’m guessing the new bill mentioned won’t go anywhere either, especially since Trump would need to sign it.

    The courts probably will stop him, but Trump will just go appeals surfing until he finds a pliable maga judge.

    DoJ/FBI will agree to not arrest individual contractors or military staff shipping parts and support to Turkey since the king’s decrees take precedent over laws apparently.











  • He should be totally overjoyed, not bitter.

    The current stock price, despite YTD of -36%, is still way over any kind of realistic valuation. And by that I mean orders of magnitude off.

    Price to earnings makes it still look like a very, very, very hopeful/optimistic startup in the development phase, rather than a withering, fake luxury, niche automaker facing boycotts and being “run” by a full-blown Nazi that everyone hates.

    If you still own Tesla shares, get the fuck out of it now. The recent collapse is nothing.
