Elon Musk supported the (failed) coup in Bolivia because he had his eyes set on their lithium resources, you're gonna explain that away too

False, he said some whack s*** on twitter but it doesnt stand up to facts

Tesla gets its lithium from australia and other sources. Bolivian lithium is notoriously expensive and difficult. The coup was not for lithium

The USA started an entire war over oil just the last decade and you're trying to argue that private companies have no stake in colonialism

I have no clue why people think America would beef with Bolivia over Lithium when we are allied with the largest Lithium providers in the world.

That's why the Tesla stocks rose the day their coup started and sank one year later the day it became apparent that their coup failed

That's cause of the investors, doesn't mean that was the intent

Stock traders dont decide policy

And Bolivian lithium is just too expensive anyway

I'm sure we have couped before but not this one

Institutional stock traders knows what is happening with the company and the potential sources of their resources

Yeah it never happened in the history of humanity that resource prices grew and resources previously deemed as expensive were now considered economic

Australian lithium is mich cheaper and more abundant

No they don't, they place bets but it's not in their power

Guess Australia is exempt from the laws of thermodynamics and will never run out of resources

"The USA doesn't need oil from Iraq, Saudi-Arabian oil is much cheaper and more abundant, what are you trying to say"

Oil =/= Lithium in the road to energy independence

America gets lithium from Chile and Australia

You do not have to die on this hill

Word, lithium is surely not going to be important as oil runs out, thank you for your enlightened take on this

Holy s*** dude

You're trying to argue that private companies have never had any bearing on one country ruling over the other, which is the most gullible take of capitalism I have ever heard

You are literally as we speak, giving a strong comparative take on how the US will do "X" because they did "X" in regards to Oil when these two resources are not even nearly as vaunted

Please stop being a d*** on a kanye​tothe forum.

Yeah the USA will pack their bags in and never bother another country again over resources, thank you Nostradamus

Iraq wasnt over oil it was over geopolitics

A smug sarcastic retort is not an argument

He thinks we can burn lithium lol

You live in a fantasy world where the USA doesn't wage wars and coups over resources

What the f*** do you think many batteries use you f***ing smoothbrain

Who said they didnt? We're saying in this specific instance, your asserting that a coup was raised over lithium makes no sense whatsoever
