I, for one, definitely won't be buying another Tesla as long as Naziboy Musk has anything to do with the company.

What does Musk think Trump is going to do for him? Trump has said multiple times he wants to outright ban EVs and increase fuel production and sales. He hates public transportation, so he's not going to support The Loop. He's weirdly obsessed with space, sure, but Trump isn't going to give him money for SpaceX. Is Musk looking for a cabinet position or something?

so he’s not going to support The Loop.

Neither does Musk, so same difference.

This is how Authoritarianism works. Trump will ban all EVs with the exception of ones made by his inner circle.
