The Corporate Shriek: Trillions Vanish! (Poof!)
The corporate world in a rare moment of near unanimity is practically screaming about these tariffs. Trillions of dollars gone! Evaporated like a snowflake in July. Even Elon Musk bless his entrepreneurial heart is expressing opposition. It's not just bad for business; it's bad for the soul! You can't plan for the future when the rules change faster than you can say 'existential dread.' It's like trying to build a house on quicksand. Utterly pointless and frankly a waste of good lumber.
Tesla's Electric Shock: Musk's Moronic Trade War!
Tesla oh Tesla! Down 40% this year. Musk's distractions are legendary. It's like he's trying to juggle chainsaws while riding a unicycle. Tariffs are just the cherry on top of this sundae of suffering. The company relies on components from Mexico and China. And Musk never one to mince words called Trump's trade advisor a 'moron' and 'dumber than a sack of bricks.' Now *that's* a quote for the ages! Analysts are projecting revenue growth of less than 1%. Less than 1%! You'd get more growth from a chia pet!

And they're spending billions on data centers. Zuckerberg is dreaming of AI utopia but he may just end up with a data center shaped dystopia not that he can distinguish the two!
Apple's Orchard of Angst: Biting the Tariff Bullet!
Apple oh Apple the shining beacon of consumerism! The company generates three quarters of its revenue from selling devices manufactured in Asia. Tim Cook ever the diplomat has been cozying up to Trump. Donating to his inauguration attending events in Washington D.C. It's like trying to appease a dragon with shiny trinkets. Wall Street is dumping shares. Down 8% in March and another 11% this month. Ouch! Long term tariffs could be disastrous. Maybe they should try making iPhones out of Canadian maple syrup. Now *that's* disruptive!
