Does this also apply to Tesla with the previous administration, or is this new dynamic?

Sure, the Biden admin actively targeted a publicly traded company[0] because their CEO was critical of the administration, but that's not fascism. Fascism is when the bad guys make spreadsheets.

  • Do you have any evidence that the change in enforcement was targeted at Tesla or that the change was in response to Musk’s criticism?

    Also, comparing the actions of Trump to anything any previous President (including Trump 1!) almost feels like you’re being disingenuous.

    • It's funny, actually. When an anonymous source says there's a scary spreadsheet in the Trump White House, progs are happy to believe the unsourced and unprovable claim on faith, imagine the worst possible implications, and assert those entirely imaginary implications are evidence of fascism. But when considering the fact that the Biden admin actually, actively did financial harm to one of their most prominent critics, progs instantaneously drop the concerned citizen schtick and are happy to assume that any and all real harm done to critics is accidental until proven beyond a reasonable doubt!
