New Zurich Newspaper Imibhikisho emelene noTesla: Izishoshovu zifuna ukushaya "indawo ebuthakathaka" kaMusk futhi zihlangane ngokumelene "ne-tech oligarchy" kaTrump. UChristian Weisflog, Rockville • Amahora ayi-15 • 5 imizuzu efundiwe Kuphinde kwaba nombhikisho phambi kwegatsha laseTesla eLos Angeles. Ngemuva kokwehlulwa kwabo okhethweni ngoNovemba, amaDemocrats avele athuthumela. Ngokuphambene no-2016, kulokhu iningi labantu baseMelika livotele uDonald Trump. Akukho ukungabaza mayelana nokuba semthethweni kwayo kwentando yeningi. Kodwa-ke, ezinyangeni ezimbili ngemuva kokugcotshwa kwakhe, inhlangano entsha yokuphikisa iyakhula e-USA. Ayiqondiswe ngokuyinhloko ngokumelene nomongameli, kodwa ngokumelene nomeluleki wakhe obaluleke kakhulu kanye nosozimali: usozigidi wezobuchwepheshe u-Elon Musk. Njalo ngezimpelasonto, ababhikishi ezweni lonke bahlangana phambi kwamagatsha omkhiqizi wezimoto zikagesi uTesla, owasungulwa nguMusk. Njengakwamanye amadolobha acishe abe ngamashumi ayisishiyagalombili, ababhikishi abangamakhulu ambalwa bafole eRockville - indawo esenyakatho yenhloko-dolobha iWashington - phambi kwendlu yombukiso emgwaqeni ophithizelayo ngoMgqibelo. Izimpawu zabo zifundeka ngokuthi “Honk uma uzonda u-Elon,” “Thenga i-Tesla, phakela umuntu othanda ubushiqela,” noma “Yithi cha kuma-swasticas!” - umdlalo wamagama esiNgisi we-swastika nezimoto. Ikakhulukazi enokuthula, kodwa hhayi kuphela U-Bob Corlett ubelokhu emi eceleni komgwaqo e-Rockville ngoMgqibelo wesibili manje. “Abangane bami abaningi bamane bacindezelekile,” kusho umphathi wenhlangano eqasha abantu. "Babona sengathi akukho abangakwenza." Phela, uTrump kanye namaRiphabhlikhi abalawuli kuphela i-White House, kodwa futhi womabili amakamelo eCongress, futhi iNkantolo Ephakeme nayo ineningi elilandelanayo phakathi kwamajaji ayo. Kepha imibhikisho emelene noTesla manje isishaya "indawo ebuthaka," kukholwa uCorlett. NgoMgqibelo odlule ufike embhikishweni ephethe ifulegi kuphela. "NgoMsombuluko, inani lentengo likaTesla lehle ngamaphesenti angu-13." Manje usezenzele isibonakaliso. Ifundeka kanje: “Umkhonyovu kuphela owatholwa nguTrump kwakungu-Elon.” Ngokucwayiza, u-Corlett uyanezela: "Ngiyethemba ukuthi intengo yamasheya yehla amanye amaphesenti angu-20 ngoMsombuluko." Ngesihlangu sakhe, u-Corlett ubhekisela ku-Authority for Government Efficiency (Doge) elawulwa ngu-Musk. Lokhu kuholela ekuxoshweni kwamanje kwamashumi ezinkulungwane zezisebenzi zikahulumeni zikahulumeni. UMusk noTrump basho kaningi ukuthi uDoge uthole ukukhwabanisa okukhulu okungaba izigidigidi zamaRandi ngesikhathi sokubuyekezwa yiziphathimandla eziningi. Kodwa-ke, babonakala beqonda ukukhwabanisa njengokusetshenziswa kwemali yabakhokhi bentela ezinhlelweni ezingakwesokunxele ezigunyazwe yiCongress. UMusk wasekela uTrump ngesikhathi somkhankaso wokhetho ngemali elinganiselwa ezigidini ezingama-300. Nakuba engazange akhethwe noma aqinisekiswe yiSigele, manje unethonya elikhulu ezindabeni zikahulumeni. Akakhathazeki nje kuphela ngokunciphisa umbuso kodwa futhi uhileleke kakhulu kunqubomgomo yangaphandle, isibonelo ngokusekela i-AfD okhethweni lukazwelonke eJalimane. "La mandla kubantu abangakhethwanga njengoMusk ayingozi kakhulu," kukholwa uCorlett. Futhi kusobala ukuthi akayedwa kulo muzwa. UJeffrey Weisner naye uze kulo mhlangano ngoMgqibelo. Uthi usebenzela inhlangano ehlaziya imibhikisho “emelene nombuso kaTrump.” "Le mibhikisho kaTesla ibonakala ikhiqiza amandla amaningi." Abantu abebengajwayele ukuya emibukisweni bayabamba iqhaza. "Kusobala ukuthi uMusk uthukuthele ngalokhu, futhi lokho kubanikeza ukunakwa okwengeziwe." Muva nje, u-Musk uhlasele isishoshovu u-Valerie Costa, izwi elihamba phambili emkhankasweni kazwelonke "Tesla Takedown". "I-Costa yenza ubugebengu," u-Musk wabhala enkonzweni yakhe emfushane yomlayezo X. Kwakuyinhlangano yokubhikisha enokuthula ngokumelene "ne-tech oligarchy" kaTrump, uCosta kamuva wabhala ehlaziya i-Guardian. Kodwa ukusabela okunonya kukaMusk nabalandeli bakhe kwabonisa ukuthi umkhankaso wabo wawusebenza. Ngenkathi umbhikisho e-Rockville nawo uhlale unokuthula, kuphinde kwaba nezenzo zobudlova e-USA muva nje: Kudutshulwe izitolo zakwaTesla, izimoto eziphambi kwazo zashiswa, neziteshi zokushaja nazo zashiswa ezindaweni eziningi. “Sinokuthula ngamaphesenti ayikhulu,” kugcizelela uRob Wald, owahlela lo mhlangano eRockville. Udlame alunamphumela. U-Musk uzama ukucekela phansi intando yeningi yaseMelika, futhi manje balwa nayo njalo ngezimpelasonto: "Sishaya isikhwama sikaMusk futhi sifuna ukushayela uTesla ekulahlekelweni." E-Seattle, isicishamlilo sihlola i-Tesla eshile ngesonto eledlule. Ngenkathi ukuthengiswa kweTesla kwehle ngamaphesenti angama-50 kwamanye amazwe aseYurophu, kwehle ngamaphesenti ayi-11 e-US ngoJanuwari.
