so clearly supporting other companies is more important than
actually saving the planet.

Like I said, Musk benefited....and now, he does not want other OEMs to
have it.  Foreign OEMs are not allowed this advantage.

Excluding a fat Musk is good for others, and provides incentives for
these others to produce their EVs.  Musk wants a toe-hold on EVs, and
would prefer to corner this market....limited competition then, which
is not good for consumers.

Keep in mind, imports from China get taxed (tariff)...they are much
cheaper.
=====================


In May 2024, the United States increased tariffs on Chinese-made EVs
from 25% to 100%, this follows its longstanding concern about China's
'unfair trade practices.' In July this year, the European Union
imposed a provisional anti-subsidy tariff of up to 37.6% on EVs
imported from China. This comes after an anti-subsidy investigation
launched by the European Commission in October 2023 without a petition
by domestic EV producers. In August, Canada followed suit increasing
its 6.1% import tariff on Chinese EVs to 100%, also citing well-known
issues relating to Chinese industrial policies and subsidies, which
cause overcapacity and unfair competition.
