Musk makes billions from China. How will that work now?

Think for once. If Musk didn't import anything from China, he would be in favor of Chinese tariffs, to protect his market share.

If he imports parts (like batteries) from China, he would be against Chinese tariffs.

And Musk is against Chinese tariffs.

It's not rocket science

again, tariffs are only used on competition American products. It's good to know what you're going to talk about.

When the Model 3 was unveiled in 2016, Tesla had 325,000 reservations for the car, which represented potential sales of over $14 billion.

2024 sales: In the first quarter of 2024, the Model 3 and Model Y accounted for the majority of Tesla's production and delivery. Tesla is still selling more than 100,000 units of the Model 3 a quarter, or nearly half a million a year.

Cool.

How much does he make on just the lithium from the batteries.

Musk wants credit himself. He does not want to be #2 to Trump.

Yes we are aware the latest Dem conspiracy theory is that Musk is really the VP. You freaks have lost it.

Musk has no interest in stockpiling. He wants to be the top man in the world. He is not going to be #2 for Trump

Maybe he'll run in '28 if Vance doesn't.

Trump said he would impose the foreign tariffs "across the board"

Maybe you should listen to what Trump says, before saying Trump won't do it.

I don't know. China sells him the entire battery. The one that goes into the majority of American made Tesla cars.

You said he gets 40% from China.

Still waiting for the math showing Musk makes billions from China.

Tariffs were so bad it didn’t raise inflation and Biden left it in place.

Immigration policies so bad which when Biden lifted caused a flood to our border.

Do your own math. It's in the billions. The cost of the battery is between $5,000 and $20,000 each. And Musk buys at least 300,000 a year from China.

So, you made up a rough estimate of what you think Musk SPENDS in China on some of his batteries.

The OP claimed BILLIONS IN PROFITS.

Keep flailing.

No, I said Musk makes billions. I have no idea what his profit margin is on sales. But his sales are in the billions and billions and billions.

You jumped in to defend him, and are failing miserably.

Elon Musk. Tesla CEO Elon Musk is the largest shareholder in Tesla. With 715 million shares, Musk holds nearly 23% of all Tesla shares

That's $230 billion.

What is the Biden family going to do now that they can't sell Chinese access to the presidency? Maybe Hunter will have to go back to selling drugs.

Maybe it's a republican thing to not know the meaning of what they say.

Then you shouldn’t talk about what you don’t know
