And what does President Musk have to say about that?
Yes, his proper title is President Elect Musk (for another 6 days).

That's not the only BRIC that is getting crushed.
The ruble continues to plunge. One USD was worth 110 rubles about a week ago.
Cue Cal88 and blaming it on lower oil prices.
lol

Nah, the Rupee, Ruble, as well as the Yen, Euro, CHF and CAD have all been down vs the USD.

Has the government gotten better return on its money than its investment in Tesla, which has produced hundreds of thousands of high-paying jobs and a $1.3 trillion market cap?

Yeah, that must be it.
Glad I could help you there.
Must be why GAZPROM is doing so well.
40% of workforce is getting laid off.
Because the ruble and Russian economy is so STRONG.

Gazprom is laying off 1,600 office jobs in St. Petersburg, not "40% of its workforce". That is such a ridiculous statement.
Because Gazprom's total workforce is nearly half a million people.
Gazprom added nearly 100,000 employees to its payroll in the last decade.

You should cancel your WSJ subscription, it's not helping you here.

Yeah, you're a genius.
The same kind of genius that thinks the U.S. importer doesnt pay the tariffs on Chinese goods and the money winds up in the U.S. Treasury.
You really should try taking a basic Econ.1 course.
You're not very bright.

Just answer the question. Does tariff money go to the government or not? Are you capable of answering a basic question?
Besides not answering the question, Diablo is also ignoring the positive externalities from the growth of domestic manufacturing jobs.
The industries of Japan, Korea and China were built on tariffs, without which their auto and electronic industries would not have taken off. Diablo will claim with a straight face that the people who run MITI did not pass Econ 1.

Yes, the mighty auto building colossus Tesla that has managed to capture 4% of the auto market in only one year and has only been over 2% of the market in just 3 years of it's existence. Tesla has sold 2.6 million cars during it's existence which gives it a market cap of $500,000 per car sold. Sounds like a sound market cap assessment.Cal88 said:DiabloWags said:SFCityBear said:As near as I could find out, Elon Musk is President of only one thing, and that is the Musk Foundation.

It does more than make and sell cars.

Just answer the question. Does tariff money go to the government or not? Are you capable of answering a basic question?
A.) A tariff on Chinese goods is not paid by China as Trump has repeatedly claimed. This is FALSE.
B.) A tariff is paid by the U.S. importer on record.
C.) Tariffs are a "tax" on the American consumer because the importer usually passes it on to the consumer.
D.) The U.S. Treasury receives the tariff money.
E.) Given that tariffs hurt the American farm community, the Govt usually subsidizes farmers with payments to offset their losses from Chinese trade retaliation. Hence, Trump sending $28 Billion in 2018-2019 to farmers.
F.) 92% of Trump's China Tariff proceeds went to bail out American farmers.
G.) All of the Above.
American consumers only pay more if they continue to buy that product. Tariffs work to normalize the price of Chinese goods, thereby creating space for American products to be manufactured domestically and purchased in their place.

And that doesn't happen overnight.
And in most cases (like in the auto industry) it never happens.
Never mind the raw materials that go into the parts for manufacturing those "American" products that increase in price due to the tariffs.

Yet, the administration collected over $80 in Tarriffs for 2018-19 goods. $80 billion > $28 billion. Thank you for finally answering my question btw. Also, Biden, or whoever was actually president, gave farmers just as much during his presidency.

Trump Tariffs: The Economic Impact of the Trump Trade War
Never mind that the U.S. Trade Deficit is nearly $80 BILLION at end of 2024.
A gap that's almost twice as high as when he took office as president 8 years ago.

Trump Tariffs: The Economic Impact of the Trump Trade War
American consumers, if they still want to buy the now higher priced good. Thank you for finally answering my question about who collects the money. You purposely deflected. I appreciate you now acknowledging it, even though you were incredibly misleading when you compared the revenue from Tarriffs from one country versus the impact of all Tarriffs on farmers (and the fact that farmers have been subsidized considerably before and after Trump). Stay well wags.
Did Biden keep Trump's tariffs? (Not reflected in this chart is the fact the 2024 deficit is the largest ever)DiabloWags said:

Yes.
I stand by what I said.
Tariffs work real well, don't they?
They are an incredibly stupid idea.
Just ask Herbert Hoover.
