@altcap@TrumpAccounts I've wondering why this hasn't happened for Data Centers... 'META will also seed each Trump account in this zipcode with $10,000 of META stock' can't hurt their cause.
SpaceX has just revealed that it purchased $269 million worth of @Tesla Megapacks in April 2026, according to a new filing.
This is on top of the $430 million worth of Megapacks that SpaceXAI bought last year.
As annoying as it is, I'm fine just wiping the slate clean if we can just push good policy. I've always said Carney could come in and go down as one of the greats if he just removes all the dumb regulation of the past administration. He'd be lauded, the policy would be good, I'd be annoyed at the credit, but happy with the outcome.
As a long time Tesla owner in Sask it is so obviously not something that mandating makes sense for. A). We donβt have the manufacturing, so we penalize consumers so foreign workers can capture value B). Our market is too small to entice that manufacturing at the scale needed to entice actual domestic manufacturing and c) EVs just donβt work for many use cases (though more than most people think).
@anshublog@demian_ai@stevehou My small very non tech company uses a shitload of crm and netsuite seats. We are implementing super basic Claude workflows into both. Realistically we will need maybe 10% of the access points in a couple of months.
@garethdmm@ChrisSpoke I think either you misinterpreted me, the OP, or both. We are where we are because our government is doing a terrible job of allocating capital, while allocating an increasing share of that capital, AND doing so with debt just makes that problem persist longer into the future.
That isn't how the thread started. You said there was no evidence that regulation and taxes were the cause of our stagnation. I pointed out that we are having to increase deficits and debt to produce our effectively zero real gdp growth. Implying that we are structurally unproductive and trending more so, which OP's two points would be indicative of, hence requiring increasing amounts of deficits and debt to produce gdp. You pivoted to (by my interpretation) implying that we need more debt/deficit funded capital allocation by our government to reverse current trends. If I'm incorrect on that, apologies.
@garethdmm@ChrisSpoke I think the US government is a terrible allocator of capital. I would definitely not advocate for that. You are? Do you think our government allocating more debt funded spend is what our economy needs?
@garethdmm@ChrisSpoke Many countries also don't segment federal and provincial level debt (we aren't sitting great). While trending private investment lower. While increasing deficits. With our level of household debt. While producing our economic growth.
