Nonsense about Tesla, people just don't want electric vehicles, I have one, my friends have one and it's a piece of junk because you have to keep charging it and charging it you can't make long trips without stopping very 150 miles or so and especially in California very limited number of stations in certain areas and you have to wait in line before you could charge the car because there is too many cars and very few charge stations, Tesla at least has the most but other manufacture have almost none to 0, that is the reason people don't wanna electric cars not because Tesla Musk. Other manufacturer can't sell any of their cars I don't know what this dude is talking about ,he needs to educate himself before he goes on the Yahoo finance and talk this nonsense. He forgot to mention not very smart Newsom new law of buying electric vehicles by certain year, and then Newsome tells everybody do not charge during the day what a dumb person....
That is about right as 260 miles originally will go down pretty fast when you use air conditioner in hot California and some other futures in that car...
Elon, could you do a matching donation for homeless, hungry, old, sick, people etc?
Last I checked the government already spends millions of our tax dollars on those things
100 percent
Could you?
@@DoSe420 Correction: trillions
Democrats will just make more of those
They should take money outta politics and make it about politics not who has the most cash. Make travel free for hopefuls.
Yes, Political contributions should be capped. Media should give free and equal time to all candidates running for POTUS.
@@karenklores2439the media does give free coverage of candidates. Perhaps if the media wasn't so busy pushing propaganda and false narratives, maybe another candidate would get heard
Ads should be free by falling under the Public Service Announcement (PSA) category.
It's hilarious how there is a campaign contribution limit... Unless you're super rich.
Not donating directly to the candidate.
Thank soros
Same thing Zuckerberg did in 2020.
@@farmerinthedells We know. It's called a Super PAC (political action committee) that can funnel undisclosed money to candidates.
@@farmerinthedellsTrump uses campaign donations to pay his legal fees and personal bank roll, these are public record
Interesting but yet he is laying off 14,000 people from his tesla plants????? Boycott him !!!!
Aren't there donation limits, or do we still let the rich buy our candidates and country?
😂😂😂 Didn't Zuckerberg donate millions in 2020 for the same exact purpose? Now you're crying?
@@DoSe420 none of them should be able to, doesn't matter who you like or don't like, the point remains its not a democracy when billionaires control every aspect of the elections with their 'hired help'
@DoSe420 Been "crying" for quite some time on this issue, and I've been against it on both sides of the aisle. Do you want to get on the bandwagon or keep sitting on the sidelines? 🤔🤣😉
@@John-zn4lpyou been crying about money for mail in voting and ballot harvesting? You're here for the same reason as the other bots, you forgot 400 million was donated by Zuckerberg for the same reasons in 2020
Why should it stop now?. because "orange man bad"?
"Orange man raycisssss"
Or orange man Putin??
The Democrats have been doing this for years
Pelosi...bought and paid for
Booker ..bought and paid for
Harris...bought and paid for
Schummer..bought and paid for
McConnell...bought and paid for
Romney ..bought and paid for
So because it's beneficial to president Trump now it's a problem 🤔🤔🤔
Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. I believe donations should have a cap per-person. He appears to root for Trump as a result of Biden blocking him in the EV market. If he does advocate for Trump, I understand.
When Elon bought twitter and opened of flood gates of the twitter files, he pretty much got blacklisted by democrats and corporations alike. I would vote for trump too after all of that bs.
@@TrollToll2000the Twitter files were a big nothing burger
@@something215 Keep that same energy when Trump is elected and you end up on government watch lists.
I came here to laugh at the hateful comments and I wasn't disappointed.
Glad we made you happy.
Hateful comments but think about it. Musk supports Trump because Trump is light on corporations and the 1 percent at the top. He will get richer and the average guy will get the short end of the stick again as usual. If you all think this is good by all means.
I didn't realize Yahoo was still a thing. What a waste of 5 min of my life.
And to think Trump telling everyone not to buy your electric cars that they are worthless! 😂😂😂
Hahaha, he never said that!
Why do you lie ?
@@user-hc7gj6dx4d you have a choice under Trump, where the democrats want only electric cars.
You are the type of person that caused the depraved action we saw the other day
@@Anthonycapone8146 because they liberals. thats all they know how to do.
I would think 'Yahoo Finance' would understand the importance of media access.
Musk has been donating like a billion a month to Republican politics for years now.
Billionaires supporting billionaires.
I thought Trump was broke. Is he broke or a billionaire?
Jelly?
Remember 2020 when Zuckerberg put up millions for the same thing?
Human supporting human.
And will secretly make Billions more using under the table deals.
Hahaha actually the conservative branch of the Republican party doesn't even like electric cars that hilarious
Useless MSM, Elon Musk has not committed to $45 million a month.
Interesting, do you think she would’ve asks the question, could Musk giving 45 million a month backfire if he was giving it to Biden-Done? The guy is a clown as well.
This is outrageous! We are not progressing, and I am disappointed in Elon, I thought he was more intelligent than the Gpublic and could think about the real matters at hand and not fall into the swamp, but now see he is mired in to his ears...over a narcissistic boy,.So on we go. Really Elon?
Thanks for that 45 million a month Trump needs to pay his bills and his lawyers You're a good man
Cry baby.
Yep, campaine bills. And lawyers to be at polls, to prevent liberals from cheating
Coming from the party who sets up GoFundMe accounts to bail out rioters.
Trump is a multi billionaire
Would rather he pay that in taxes!!!
How about paying off some of his lawsuits?
You're right.. it is tough having the legal system turned against you as a political opponent.
Great pick vote trump Vance trump Vance we need great leaders
In other words, musk turns into lobbyist.
well yeah he thinks he's gonna buy off a president for $45 mil a month. after Trump was all but assured a victory after the assassination attempt. Musk want's China tariffs removed. he's an agent of china due to all his business dealings there.
@@wazup3333 then what does that make billionairs like Zuckerberg, Soros, etc? They donate and help the DNC with money and censorship which was proven when Elon bought tweeter. Boom 💥
🎤 drop.
You have no problem when other big companies do it for Biden
@@megaroniiiii haha I said the same thing but comment got deleted. YT Sucks sometimes
Yup, Elons looking for that corporate welfare with Trump.
I thought Elon was smarter than that😱😱
Apparently he's a lot smarter than you.
Because you're so smart
Thank you, Elon. ❤🤍💙
Elon, despite my resentment to his A.I. promotion, has been a good immigrant.
He brought his dream here.
He didnt come to pursue the American Dream.
He had one.
It works.
Hes a good man, by all accounts.
'cept that dagum A.I.
Rich stick together.not a care about low income or .middle income folks.
You got that right.
@@debraphilip6173 everyone’s paying way more because of Biden 😂 that’s not good for anyone especially “low income folk”
What was your reasoning when Zuckerberg donated 400 million in 2020?
Quit wasting time complaining and become rich.
@@mostlycloudy1738That's delusional. You think bc you're somewhat comfortable you're safe. The mega-rich are coming after your little bit too.
Is Musk buying Trump ?
I don't like Musk or anyone or any organization donating such a huge amount of money to any campaign.
Trump will feel obligated to do Musk's biding because Musk's money could be construed as putting Trump in Office.
I think there should be a cap on the amount a donor or organization can donate to a candidate.
Elon does give to the homeless, as does the government, but it doesn't do any good. Why don't those who want others to help the homeless, adopt a homeless person.
Elon wants a Traditional America again. Work hard, and it may pay off. Ethics. That's why he's supporting Trump. He has children, he has to think about their futures.
Talk about being the smartest guy in the world!
This is great news for the Country!
It's greed, not intelligence
Elon is not intelligent. He buys people out who ARE intelligent
@@jamIam6548greed? Because someone doesn't support you. 🤣😂🤣😂
Remember when Zuckerberg donated 400 million in 2020?
Well if Zuckerberg can do it why not Elon.
Not hard to figure this one out . Trump hates EV's and Musk sells EV's
45 million a month , Not with my money , So goes the long for Tesla .
If you thought you'd make money on TSLA, you'd go for it. Stop virtue signalling.
😭
You never bought anything to begin with, stop the cap kiddos
This is all quid pro quo. Trump gets $$$, Elon gets less taxes, less regulation and taxpayer cash.
Propaganda.
2020 Zuckerberg donated 400 million, now you only care because the money isn't going to you.
This is A I scratch your back and you scratch mine. NOT GOOD!
Good man Elon Musk God bless you
Thanks Elon for supporting Trump
a payoff to trump to not take away the electric vehicle credits which trump has suggested he would do
You are the problem
Zuckerberg donated 400 million in 2020. What kickback did democrats give him?
Right. Like, why is hyper loop even being tested. It's an obvious bad idea. But he got that funding.
@@deadwingdomain an obvious bad idea says some random non-factor on the internets
@@skeptick6513 he wants to take away the credits lmao.
Elon is auditioning for Dr. Evil in an new Austin Powers movie..
Problem is Biden already won the part 40+ years ago
So, would that still be called "acting"?
Well, he is paying 45 M to survive the next 4 years.
ASIANS FOR TRUMP 🙋🏻♀️🙏❤️
@@cathychats pathetic!!!!!!!
“There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all … The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic … There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.”
@@user-qq2ph3nf6p you're looking in the mirror?
Pathetic. "That guy?" Really? Give it up.

This is all so sick...
Donald Trump is winning it all.
While your guy fills his diaper.
Cry harder
@bytemuncher1 to sick to cry...maybe later
lol he doesn’t want Trump to ban electric vehicles 😅

Ok fascist
First make Hunter Biden to pay his taxes he owed......
Cancel Tesla for me.
Di4dnt Biden offended Tesla first and did many more times? Lol
Offend how?
This should be against the law!
Dems have a super donor. See George Soros. You don't like it when the other side can now match your game. Too bad.

Hey Elon , I could use just $1 million ..
I am ultra sophisticated not owning Tesla.
Quite the opposite....
That's cool, he also owns Space X. Cope
You are ultra sophisticated? 😂
Prius prime looking pretty sweet.
Slightly higher than the legal limit of $3,300 according to the FEC
There's no cap on donating to pacs, they aren't candidates.
Still less than the 400 million Zuckerberg donated in 2020
I wonder how much income tax Elon Musk pays ? .000001 percent?
How much does Mark Zuckerberg pay? Forget that he donated 400 million in the 2020 election?
he created millions of jobs, which has a much greater impact on the economy than any amount of tax he pays
@@citrusretna2088This guy's knows! Makers are better than takers. Our government takes.
Loved Elon until last week when he called me collect.
TRUMP 2024
Biden shrugged off Musk as a nobody and put Mary Barra of GM on a pedestal. Also giving Tesla employees a slap in the face. I’m glad Musk is supporting Trump in this way. Biden blew it and knows he did. Biden sure could have used Musk’s support right now, every vote is critical for him.
Mary betra single handedly destroyed what was left of GM
She's about as bad as the bud light woman who dreamed up Dylan mulvaney
Barra I meant
@@bigjimtenbillion GM will go bankrupt again with her as CEO, or she will take her billions and retire soon. I bet Biden didn’t get a penny from her for his campaign. 😂
No taxes for Elon
I bet he will still lose. Just because he putting money in it.
Trump 2024!!!
Elon , how could you do this? How is anything like Teady Roselvelt ?

He's donating to do the same thing Zuckerberg donated 400 million in 2020 for
Fascist
Many thanks to Elon Musk for also donating to Trump's re-election instead of the poor people !!!
Do you donate to the poor?
The government is supposed to take care of the poor people. The fact that you're on here talking about it, is proof that the current administration has done nothing for average Americans. The only poor people this administration cares about, aren't even US citizens
Wow, he’s generous! That’s a blessing for Trump and his team.
Musk will obviously get a huge tax cut too.
He already gets a HUMUNGOUS tax discount
@@Humongous420 He's created millions of jobs, which benefit the economy way more than any tax he personally pays
Not everyone that lucky like Hunter Biden not paying taxes at all
Musk has a lot to learn from great CEOs
Like Zuck and Bill Gates? Lol. I'm kidding.

Instead of housing the homeless this is what Musk wants to do!? Dafuk!
It’s bizarre since Trump never loses an opportunity to trash electric cars. Elon is clearly buying access, otherwise he’d be supporting green candidate RFK.
Why didn't Zuckerberg do that? Propagandists already forgot about the 400 million donation in 2020?
It's rules for thee but not for me, I just brought that hypocrisy right up

So is this Sugar Daddy, or Monthly Child Support ?
That seems like a shitload of Money but the reporters don't seem to be very impressed. As if, maybe it might make a little dent.
Is Elon Musk that much fame thirst?
I think he's pretty famous already

Is he donating to his campaogn or donating so he can drop out and let me be the president witj him as vice ptesident
Has Elon Musk donated the first 45 million dollars yet?
