Tesla's market valuation is down 14% today, and has now more than halved from the high it reached a few weeks after the US election (when investors thought Tesla would do well given Musk's access to the White House).
The company's shares have fallen 53% from the high reached on 17 December 2024.

Ramaphosa is all about raising taxes and VAT. He was President when Gigaba raised VAT in 2018, the first increase since 1993. And now, possibly again. Wholly bereft of addressing the root causes of fiscal instability and inequality. What you’re not changing, you’re choosing. He chooses low growth.

My own opinion is that it's good to signal (through words and/or actions) the virtues that you value; that's one of the most important parts of maintaining a healthy community.

Now that I have fewer followers, I can finally admit that sometimes I read the wikipedia plots of books with very large male followings and post controversial and nonsensical takes in the subreddits of those books, just to rile them up 😌
