Tesla dealerships are getting protested and, in some cases, vandalized. Sales are down on 9 of the top 10 countries Tesla sells in. Yet Tesla stock is up. Twitter is a cesspool of nazi-themed bots, and somehow just pulled in $1bn and raised its valuation back up to $44bn.

How is any of this possible? It seems really artificial to me, but I don’t really understand business.

    We don’t want Chinese dumping their cars and leading to the loss of even more manufacturing jobs in North America and Europe.

    Who is this we, here? I want this. The people employed in these manufacturing jobs are not people I am concerned about.

    When China gets bored with subsidizing our economy, we can spin up new state of the art facilities.

    We are being sold a lump go fear, uncertainty and doubt around this stuff by the people who profit off these industries.
