Tesla has both a gigafactory and a Supercharger factory in mainland China. Any semi-competent CEO would recognize that publicly advocating for tariffs on China would have a good chance of backfiring. China could easily turn around and slap 100% tariffs on everything coming out of those two factories in retaliation.
Nobody had a gun to his head demanding him to espouse his commitment to an unregulated free market. He made these broad statements of his own volition.
Now, when he’s championing the exact opposite… What?
For people who believed, rightly or wrongly that he had any value-baded stances, they have to accept that they don’t exist.
That’s what these doofuses are upset about: that the xth richest person in the world is only out for themselves. There is no deeper truth.
He has no need for integrity or consistency. Just like every other fascism-aligned clown choosing or inventing whichever rules they like for each situation.
Even ignoring all his crazy stances, he’s the CEO of an American EV company! What the fuck what would you expect him to say!?

This is the important bit right here.
I think the ask is to just pick a lane.

I expect him to call someone a pedo or some other shit he’s projecting
You mean the CEO of a company wants no competition? Heresay!
It does make a clicky headline though
