Trump keeps spouting out that ass sitting on his shoulders about mass deportations and illegal alien raids, but is he willing to raid Elon Musk’s Tesla factories? Most of the “tech companies” courting favor from Trump now are hoping their shops don’t get raided. Much of this rant is due to an article by Janna Herron posted on Yahoo Finance.
