Wealthy business leaders are turning on US President Donald Trump over his plan to impose a colossal set of tariffs on America’s trading partners, as losses mount on stock markets around the world.

Yeah, because of course they are. I mean, it’s not like they could have POSSIBLY known how bad the shitgibbon would shit the bed, right? RIGHT?!

    They’re jealous because only one billionaire got to penetrate the holy inner Trump circle, like a sick South African sperm crossing into the diseased MAGA ovum, to fuck with federal regulators and help his own businesses.

        That’s what he tried to do.

        Also, he’s not done for yet: the vast majority of Musk’s business is government contracts. SpaceX in particular benefits greatly from the Musk corruption. It’s only Tesla that’s suffering (slightly) and it’s not the company Musk has the most shares in.

          it’s not the company Musk as the most shares in

          Number of shares is an arbitrary figure. It’s the value of all those shares that matters.

      This is not about Musk, Musk is not fond of the tariffs either. All of Trump’s stupid economic ideas are Peter Navarro’s doing

        This is 200% about Musk. He backed the orange utan and now he’s having a leopard-eating face time. Well cry me a fucking river…

        Just because Musk is hurting too doesn’t exonerate him from blame. He created this situation he’s so unhappy about now.

          It is completely fine for you or the general public to make this about Musk’s leopard-eating face time. I agree with you on that.

          All I’m saying is that the reason these billionaires dislike tariffs has nothing to do with Musk, they have a very real different reason for that.
