    • Hard to revoke citizenship if they were born to a parent of that citizenship, but if they emigrated here or as Musk did come here, overstay his welcome and then found someone to sponsor him to become a U.S. citizen, we can revoke and deport them. Under the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the government cannot revoke the citizenship of a natural-born U.S. citizen. However, denaturalized U.S. citizens are subject to removal (deportation) from the United States. The federal government can pursue a civil or criminal proceeding in federal court to denaturalize a citizen. If a citizen loses their citizenship, this does not necessarily mean that they will be required to leave the U.S.. Instead, they will revert to their previous legal status in the U.S., unless they are subject to grounds for removal. 
    • Agree with you on the Chinese versus Tesla. Toyota has cash, but like European, has FAILED in China and with Chinese exporting to Africa, South America, and Europe are falling behind in the sales. They are behind in EVs due to the idiot Chairman who says Hydrogen is the future.  Japan economy is mostly Auto Driven with Exports to the U.S., Europe and other places on the planet. Japan is begging to be excluded from the Tariffs that take effect next week. I honestly do not see the Japan Auto Companies surviving in their current State, Toyota could end up like GM in only very Select markets with minimal products.
    • Another Maple Leaf victory on US soil in Boston.  This one is a blue Maple Leaf. Last week was the national Red one.   How fitting.  In the city where the cry for US independance started...     
    • Yeah, Toyota is really strong globally, and has a lot of cash, they can weather a storm.  Honda is screwed because their top 2 sellers are made in Canada, but they have a lot of US manufacturing.   The Xaiomi SU7 smokes the Plaid all day long, and it outsold the Model 3 in China last year.  Tesla is starting to fall behind the Chinese, the Model S should be $45,000 and Model 3 at $29,000 to compete with what the Chinese have.  Tesla can't turn profit at those prices.  And Elon is scaring the customers away which doesn't help them either.
    • Yes exactly. I thought so about Hyundai and KIA being in a better place to withstand US tariffs.    I am niot so sure though, if they could compete with an onslaught of cheaply priced Chinese EVs.  The US car market is one thing, but the Chinese OEMs will flood the WORLD with their cheaply priced EVs.  And eventually, these EVs will make it to US shores, tariffs or not.   But by that time, I fear a US civil war.   25% tariffs on aluminium alone is said to cost 100 000 US jobs https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/alcoa-warns-trumps-aluminum-tariff-could-cost-100000-us-jobs-2025-02-25/   https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-alcoa-warns-100000-us-jobs-at-risk-urging-tariff-exemption-for/#:~:text=American aluminum giant Alcoa Corp,tariffs on shipments from Canada.   Dont forget that Canada will have retalitory tariffs. And those will be targetted to Red States.  And dont forget that Europe will strike with some sort of economc stresses of its own ON the US if Trump targets MORE European targets.  25% tariffs on some raw materials ALSO target Europe. NOT only Canada... The MAGA voters, as MUCH as they follow the cult leader Trump, some of them WILL turn on him. And those mouth breathers own guns. LOTS of them.  What will Trump do?  Attempt to take those away from them/ Eithr way, I see lots of doom and gloom...
