But they want to give the special treatment to other car makers: "Under her plan, the licenses could be redistributed to rival electric-vehicle manufacturers like Rivian, Lucid and the Volkswagen affiliate Scout Motors, which also employ a direct-to-consumer sales approach."
So its basically what Trump is doing, but the other way. I'm okay if they strip Tesla's special treatment or give the same to the other EV makes, but not both.
I hate to say it, but I'm really okay either way as I think about it more.
I'd prefer to stay aligned with politicians who don't "go low", but I can also see the benefit of forcing our far-Right extremist party have to occasionally eat some of what they shovel out every day. The mere hint of consequences for the decades of bad faith from the Republican party makes them squeal that they're being oppressed. If they're going to complain about unfair treatment constantly, is it so wrong to make them actually endure some?
I'm a little ashamed, but all of my sympathy for Musk and MAGA has been spent. There are people who are actively being harmed by this administration that are far more worthy of our concern.
