“If the Chinese EVs could be sold in the USA, then Tesla wouldn't be worth much.”

You think so huh?
Now why don't we look at Tesla sales in China where Tesla faces the full might of all Chinese EV makes?

Recent Trends (as of mid-2026)
China-made EV output (Model 3/Y from Shanghai Gigafactory, including exports) has shown strong year-over-year (YoY) growth for seven consecutive months through May 2026. May hit 85,982 units (+39.4% YoY), the highest monthly figure of 2026 so far.

First 5 months of 2026: ~378,858 wholesale units (+29% YoY).
Q1 2026 wholesale: 213,398 units (+23.5% YoY), making up a large portion of Tesla's global deliveries.

Tesla is killing it in sales in China despite facing the full might of Chinese EV makes, but somehow you think Tesla couldn't beat Chinese EV makers in America?
Chuckle.

As we speak Tesla has just finished building the world's most advanced Lithium plant in Texas and is now making their own batteries for their cars.

And Tesla is now building the world's biggest most advanced AI chip making plant also in Texas.

In Nevada Tesla has now stated making their superb semis which are selling fast.
On top of all that Tesla is building a massive new humanoid robots factory in Texas by far the biggest in America.
Plus new Tesla energy products which are selling even faster than EVs.

Is your entire post the most stupid I've seen on FR for years?
Yup.

Salma Hayek's husband, François-Henri Pinault, is not in the top 10 richest people globally.

Sorry.
I think you are confused.

More about Tesla in China.

Gigafactory Shanghai (China) produces the most vehicles by a significant margin.

Key Details (as of mid-2026)
2025 full-year output: Shanghai produced/delivered ~851,000 vehicles (primarily Model 3 and Model Y), accounting for more than half of Tesla's global total (~1.65 million produced). It remains Tesla's highest-volume and largest export hub.

Milestones: Reached 4 million cumulative vehicles produced by late 2025; known for high efficiency and rapid output ramps (e.g., record monthly figures).6807e4
Capacity: Over 950,000 vehicles per year (mainly Model 3/Y). They outproduce Tesla Gigafactories in Texas California and Berlin by far.

Not sure how anybody would act if they were a trillionaire, but my view is that Elon seems pretty down to earth. (No pun intended for a guy that owns SpaceX and wants to go to Mars.)

He's passionate about free speech, which is great for us, but there doesn't seem to be any other area where he really pushes his personal agenda.

That’s a retarded take. Not everyone born in Africa is negroid. Various Mediterranean and Caucasian peoples have been on the African continent for centuries.

Pay Pal.
The Boring Company.
Tesla.
Neurolink.
SpaceX.

I’m sure there’s others. Lot’s of jobs, lots of mouths fed, lots of wealth created...

Not quite Hank Rearden and Rearden Steel, but close enough.

People forget that there were slaves in New York State. NY did a sort of rolling emancipation before the Civil War. I believe there were still a few left when the war started.

Elon (if he really involves himself in social media interactions) has responded to several of my posts on X. Very gracious and, as you say, down to earth. Also very appreciative of good ideas expressed on the platform.

No. They most certainly are NOT all Black. THAT is the point.

Re-iterating the same moronic trash isn’t going to change facts.

that label is reserved for those whose ancestors ... might have been sub-Saharan African.

Reserved by whom? The same group that tells people they can't use the word niggardly or thug and definitely can't use a word that they themselves use all the time. Logic trumps that nonsense.

Fair enough comment. I wasn’t claiming that I reserve it, but rather its being in common everyday practice, as absurd as it is.

No. Not fishy.

This measure is based on what a funding source like a bank would be willing to “loan” him with the shares as collateral.
That’s how he gets his pocket change for lunch...
And everything else for which he actually spends money...

And why he doesn’t have to pay personal taxes if he doesn’t want to.
