Two bills were passed with zero Republican votes in 2021 and 2022 by Democrats, the repeal could've been included in either if democrats wanted. > As stated above, it was 14 to 13 …

That wasn't a clean bill, it had a bunch of other stuff in it, 86 pages long. Democrats could've passed a bill that only included the repeal of the R&D changes, which they didn't c…

Why wouldn't you also blame the Democrats though? They had the chance to repeal it before it would have taken effect. Why do they get zero blame on here?

It had Republican support so it would've gotten the 60 votes in Senate without needing to get reconciliation. It didn't even get a vote because the Democrats stopped it from procee…

Because it's unpopular. Polls show the vast majority don't want TikTok banned.

Congress can pass a law removing the exception for the extension in the bill they already passed. There is zero appetite for such a law.

Only 25% of Democrats want TikTok banned vs 38% of republicans, it's the opposite of a coup with the President siding with the opposing party. Politicians of all colors are reading…

Congress can pass a bill immediately removing the TikTok exception and also criminalizing the App store. Are even Democrats calling for TikTok to be immediately banned? All this fe…

No, they don't even mention that TTS hired 150 new employees just in the past year. It's all one sided partisan biased clickbait and FUD, just like all their stories. It's not jour…

Yes it's almost impossible to fire govt employees like you say, which is why many get away with doing the bare minimum, if that. That's natural human tendency. If fired, they can a…

TTS hired 150 new employees just in the past year but that's never mentioned in these "news" stories because biased "journalism".

Huh, it says they want to turn over functions to a public body.

There are plenty of FSD videos on YouTube where the driver didn't have to intervene at all on long trips, where the car isn't just following the car in front.

I'm not cheap, I am a highly paid SRE. If you're going accuse me of astroturfing please don't call me cheap.

Tesla doesn't even have a PR team because Musk is cheap and Musk totally pays me(a highly paid DevOps/SRE btw) to astroturf by offering me 7 figures! Please get a grip on reality.

SpaceX isn't subsidized and the govt tried really really hard to exclude Tesla from EV subsidies, and reversed at the last minute.

I've been a lifelong liberal and won't vote Democrat after seeing how SpaceX and Tesla are being treated by the liberal media, including the publishing of outright fake news by so …
