Elon Musk just posted that he will, as promised, be quitting the presidential council: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/870369915894546432
I wish our president could sacrifice something for what he believes is right much like Musk is, if what you say is true.
I'd say the big danger for his stuff is SpaceX and NASA, and I don't think there's much risk there.
The pictures were awesome.
I am not sure, if I want to support US companies in this "America first" situation. A country that so much indulges in egoism is really difficult to like.
The US produces Anti-Americanism itself.
I myself have US-citizen relatives and I know, that some great people live there.
But it is very difficult to be fond of people who elected such people and who (in big parts of the voters) greatly admire his "America first" propaganda.
I am sure, that this "America first" will harm not only the world, but many Americans and I am very sad about it. And I am sad, that those, that did most of the harm and made a profit from it, will get a free ride again, as it was 2008.
People just don't learn.
(BTW: I wanted to post this reply yesterday, but was hindered by this stupid regulatory system here)
He could also push for spending the billions that would have went in that deal domestically - more efficient infrastructure, renewables, etc.
