Something does not compute. What's up with Musk coming out against tump's tariffs on the EU...

but not against Putin who has shown he's not interested in a ceasefire with Ukraine? He wants to win that war outright.

Waht say you, DU about Musk and trump head butting about tariffs but in agreement on appeasing Pootie on Ukraine?

They're both out to destroy our democracy but IMO their disagreements have to come to a boil at some point.

Opinions, Pls.

which means that it needs to import materials and parts, and hopefully export the finished products. Tariffs are going to hit his bottom line. AFAIK he isn't making much money off of Ukraine, so he doesn't care what Putin is doing there
