Other Countries Hit Back At Trump by Targeting Musk

Here are three examples of other countries objecting to this administration by hitting Elon Musk's companies, in what we might see as the beginning of the FAFO stage for the richest man on Earth.

Other countries have figured out an easy way to object to this administration’s dangerous foreign policy games, and that’s by targeting companies owned by “DOGE” head (but not when it matters legally?) Elon Musk.

Let’s begin by establishing that DOGE is most likely illegal, and the administration keeps changing what Elon Musk’s title is because it’s either illegal or he shouldn’t have federal contracts. And yesterday after Anonymous shared emails of the teenage hoodlums running the misnamed “DOGE”, someone added what they claim is Musk’s email address. And his alleged email address includes the WHO EOP domain, which means, if this is accurate, he has an email address within the executive office of the president and most certainly should not have any federal contracts.

Of course, I won’t share that email address, but I’d note that Musk has no credible right to claim privacy after he looted all of our private information (banking, health, who knows what else) from various federal agencies. These are the heady days of the oligarchy.

And that’s exactly why other countries have figured out that Elon Musk’s companies are a prime target to show their objection to the current administration’s chaotic, completely lacking in honor, mafia-esque approach to “diplomacy.”

Canadian Leadership Candidate Promises 100% on Tesla

Speaking to Jen Psaki, a candidate to replace Justin Trudeau as prime minister promised to hit Elon Musk’s Tesla with 100% tariffs if elected.

Chrystia Freeland is the former Liberal Party finance minister, and she knows how to campaign for votes in an election that favored the conservatives. She told the MSNBC host on Tuesday:

"I am running to be the next leader of the liberal party and the next prime minister of Canada because right now we Canadians have to stand up and fight for our country.

I will fight back with dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs, and our retaliation is going to be surgically targeted to create the maximum pressure on the White House to stop what the Wall Street Journal has described quite rightly as the 'dumbest trade war in history.'’ An example of a measure that I will put in place as prime minister is 100% tariffs on Teslas. I think that should get some attention in the White House."
