    Trump's Truth Social company posted its new financials to the SEC today.

    The firm generated just $4.1 million (with an M) revenue for all of 2023, while racking up $58 million in net losses.

    Market cap is > $6 billion.

    (This isn't an April 1 joke.)

    Do you actually believe that Joe was the first and last politician to take play to pay money? Not saying he did or didn't(who cares). You think Trump never did any of this or the previous 20+ presidents before them?  :z:.  Why do you think they have never passed laws prohibiting campaign contributions and WHO made them?  Christ man wake up. They all have been doing this shit for years. ALL. every party.. How do think they get moneys for commercials/campaigns?  When they get in they have to reward the scum who payed to play. Pass or push agendas that were paid in full before election.  

    No guarantee Joe did it and it was illegal but zero democrat voters here care. There’s a reason these people become billionaires on a 150k salary

    If a celebrity wants to use their platform to express their political beliefs that is on them. Chances are it will cost them some fans / customers in the end.

    Personally when I had my retail business myself and my business partner always steered clear of politics.

    Yup seems stupid to alienate 1/2 your base.

    George bush is the one that sign CAFE credits that can be bought and sold between manufactures into law instead of paying the fine to government for not meeting the standard.

    3.  CAFE Credits Should Be Tradable.  Manufacturers should be able to trade fuel economy credits to ensure fuel savings are achieved at the lowest possible cost to consumers and automakers.  If a manufacturer surpasses its CAFE standard, that company should receive credits they can sell to other manufacturers that find it more expensive to meet the standards.  A similar market-based system works effectively for power plants and many other regulated industries.

    I think 2032 standards are close to being finalized which GM’s get like the worst and are set up for the largest fines….  They can buy credits cheaper from the likes of Tesla though then pay fines.

    EPA changed the rating recently on the economy of an EV so they net less credit value to CAFE for selling an EV.  So every Bolt, Lyriq, E pickup GM sells they get less credit towards CAFE.

    CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) FYI

    Nobody pays Tesla for emission credits.  You can not violate emission regulations as you would be stopped from selling vehicles that violate emissions…. See VW diesels.

     

    Now Fuel Economy (CAFE) credits is what manufactures are buying from Tesla.  That won’t change as the replacement for the Hemi is like 1 mpg better in fuel economy but also the CAFE requirements as well as the fines for missing those targets are going up bigly over the next few years which will bring up the value of the fuel economy credits.

    Rivian even sold $39 million of them in the 4th quarter of 2023.

    GM even pays Tesla for CAFE credits and will continue to pay them for every vehicle they sell.

    Tesla is cutting manufacturing as sales plummet 

    Dodge was paying Tesla millions so they could sell a hemi. Apparently they had pretty bad emissions. But now the hemi is gone and so are those millions in credit dollars
