Trump doesn't really need Elon much. He got the votes for Trump. Now, EV? A core Trump "Drill Baby Drill" tenant? SA wants Trump to screw with battery/hydrogen auto technologies. Leaving China to be the dominant player in this market. Like the LED bulb changed nocturnal China, China is leading the way on capturing the EV market. Necessity demands it. Think indigenous battery raw materials, too.

With Stupid Man in charge, we lose a key growth market over the next 30 or 40 years.
