I have no idea either way. But it seems pretty clear that whether China or the US ‘wins’ AI matters a lot, and electricity figures large in that.
We should be ‘all of the above’ x 100 rather than taxing modern “gay” energy while subsidizing 19th century “manly” energy.

As budget gimmicks go, I don’t think this has ever been topped.
Senate Republicans are simultaneously using current policy scoring to pretend $3.8 trillion in tax cuts are free - and using current law scoring to get away with having temporary tax cuts appear $1.5 trillion cheaper.

Kind of stupid to have the Democrat force the reading of the bill word by word. 16 hours. LOL
Not sure what they were trying to accomplish.

That will be interesting. As Musk said previously something like:
" President Trump will be around for three more years. Me (and my money) will be around for 30 more years."
How much influence will President Trump have after he is finished with the president? At least at the beginning, quite a bit. Obviously, a lot depends on how the next three years go. But, he will always have the strong support of ~30% of the population, no matter what he does or what happens. And those are the type of people who vote in the primary.

Elon threatens to find a primary challenge to every republican who votes for this bill.
Of all the people who end with "...if it's the last thing I do on this Earth", he's the closest to actually building a place somewhere else in space to go.
