Now control the SEC so the privileged won't get investigated for insider trading.

That's how you devolve into a 3rd world country by the way. I've lived in 3rd world countries and seen this over and over again. That's why 3rd world country stock markets don't go up - because locals and international investors have a distrust in them. Locals know insider trading is rampant.

Once this kind of corruption is accepted in society, everyone will need corruption in order to stay ahead.

I hope you’re right as I’m betting on the short as well. Made a crap load on TSLQ a while back.

I went from a low risk investor to betting on US doing stupid stuff and stated making real money. Cognitive dissonance investment I think.

I wish I had the guts to do that. Instead I stayed in my diversified portfolio. :(

Honestly I thought the billionaires would keep Trump in check as they want number to go up, so I bet on that. Hindsight is always 20/20 though :(

Elon Musk directly benefits from this also, so...

I'm not sure about that, he will be importing a lot of parts for his cars.

> he will be importing a lot of parts for his cars.

How doesn’t need to make as many of them anymore, so that’s a saving.

If you think Trump won't have exemptions for his friends, I have some of his memecoins to sell you.

"These specific parts from these companies from these countries receive 0% tariffs".

He doesn't care about Tesla anymore. He's making some fat money out of AI, SpaceX is a money printing machine now that he's got the ear of Trump and he's spending almost all his daytime (and nightime) hours shitposting and boosting racists on twitter.
