Most thought Trump's tariff strategy died after the Supreme Court ruling.

It didn't. He immediately pivoted to Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974β€”a rarely used provision allowing 15% tariffs for... just 150 days.

And after that? Section 232, 301?

Is it possible rhe US government is creating a acrisis window?

For example:

1. Impose tariffs now
2. Trigger retaliation
3. Frame it as a national threat
4. Request broader powers?

Looks to me as law vs leverage, time will say...

Few quotes by Elon Musk that will make you go huh? Specially #4...

1. β€œWe are in the singularity.”

2. β€œI think we’ll hit AGI in 2026.”

3. β€œYou’re at the top of the rollercoaster about to go down.”

4. β€œDon’t worry about squirreling money away for retirement. It won’t matter.”

5. β€œI don’t just have courtside seatsβ€” I’m on the court. It still blows my mind multiple times a week.”

CPU becomes obsolete with OPUs...?

So... By 2028 micron scale metamaterials eat NVDIA's lunch...

300 times more efficient and the size problem solved... The usual suspects funding (Bezos, Gates, Bloomberg...)

This solves the energy problem, I guess Elon will not need the Lunar Waredata House anymore LOL
