It's funny that people have seen all the innovation and success that Elon has had and instead of celebrating his genius they point to the times he didn't deliver. This really is one of the best examples of TDS there is.

When a business leader delivers a fanciful and unlikely projection you don't think it is appropriate to point out his history of fanciful and unlikely projections? It seems oddly black and white to believe that because a business man has had some success he can't have a history of misleading projections also. Life is not so black and white. Your post is a massive case of TDS as my post wasn't even about Trump.

Is Trump in the room with you right now?

Nobody had issue with Elon before Trump and now he's the devil to liberals and DSA types. Your post had everything to do with Trump because of the perception change around Elon is due to his affiliation with Trump.

Yes, Trump is here. He says good morning

Yes, he is weird AF.
No doubt.

But if youre a Trump supporter, I guess they dont really care about Elon's family values.

I remember when the GOP was the party of Family Values.

Oil is flowing pretty nicely, all things considered



And $6 a barrel higher than one week ago when you posted.
That's a five month high.

These prices currently have little to do with who currently controls the strait but yes we do control it.

It has much more to do with infrastructure, reduced production and depleted inventories.

At the end of the day, this war of CHOICE has cost the Average American Household $2,000

As a country, the U.S. has spent $160 Billion total on increased fuel costs since the beginning of the war.

Bonespurs can't blame Biden for this.



The Trump admin said energy costs were a small price to pay in Iran war, but U.S. consumers are paying nearly 8x more than anyone else in fuel costs

A small price to pay for the security of our country. We've been over this many times.

And it's a totally FALSE narrative.

Just like how invading Iraq made us "safer".
And was "a small price to pay".

Same with tariffs.

Yeah, but the fighting to control the strait had a lot to do with current prices.

And as you well know, it's also sent interest rates sky high and mortgage rates to 7.5%
Another "small price to pay"

Thank You.
And it's cost American's $2,000 per household on average.

Can't wait till Nov. 3rd to see how many American's think that this war has been a "small price to pay".

Goldman estimates that Brent Crude is trading $27 higher than normal due to fears of renewed attacks and supply disruptions.

Shipping crude from the Gulf to Asia cost nearly $36 a barrel in early October, more than 5x prewar levels.

Meanwhile, global on-land oil inventories are at their lowest since 2016.
