As others mentioned, it has to be done by Americans. A single one would do. Anyone knows when Luigi will be available ?

On a more serious note, dictatorships can not be removed from power by external forces unless it comes with overwhelming firepower (like Iraq in 2003) or the invaders are committed to a long war that will let the targeted nation devastated (Axis nations in WWII). But the biggest problem is what to do after the tyrants are out. As the world learned after Iraq and Afghanistan, creating (or restoring) a culture of democracy, human rights and respect for the laws is no easy task.

I have one of those (GWM Ora 3). They're better designed, better built, and better designed than anything Tesla has made so far, so it's understandable why the Chinese makers are eating their lunch. Tesla was sales success only because the market was eager for electric cars with decent range while they were pretty much the only game in town. The problem is, Tesla engineers know how to put out decent drive trains with great autonomy, but everything else around those is crap. Now that people who actually knows how to build cars are catching up with the drive train and battery capacity, Tesla is toast.

The stock might stay up, sure, but as a purely speculative paper without any real value behind it, just like crypto.

Replace the cat in the commics by a Siamese and you get my sweet little Marceline.

Trump and Musk are CEO, aren't they ?

It's a political move. By harassing one of USs largest corporations, the CCP hopes Sundar Pichai will call the morons in charge to complain and ask for concessions.

How long before the CCP nationalizes Teslas' factories in China ?

Amerika Über Alles.

Here in South America, we've been painfully aware of US's empire building for more than a century. Trump is not the cause of the current events, he is merely one more symptom of Americas unchecked narcissistic exceptionalism.

Currency. Paper money that has high acceptance internationally, like US Dollars or Euros, both can be easily traded by local currency pretty much anywhere in the world.

Activision certainly won't. They're owned by the same Microsoft that just bribed the Orangutan in Chief: https://web.archive.org/web/20250112043306/https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/technology/3281096/microsoft-1-million-trump-inauguration/

There's zero chance they'll risk Melon lashing back at them because of a stupid game.

Well, they bought Occulus, so I don't credit the VR innovations to Meta, they just added the data collecting "innovation" on top of it.

Not to mention it was built on such a shoestring budget that it used stainless steel in several parts, had rivets that were not flush to the surface in places they wouldn't affect aerodynamics and used vacuum tubes on several avionics.

The last part, some tankies would want you to believe that it was stroke of genius from MiG, because tubes are less susceptible to EMPs. The truth is, the Soviet industry was so behind the west, they simply were incapable of manufacturing EMP hardened semi-conductors.
