LMFAO did the boomers eat too much lead paint wallpaper as children? This level of ignorance is astounding.

Mystery solved!

Cognitive impairment: Lead poisoning can result in intellectual deficits, including decreased IQ, learning difficulties, and impaired attention and concentration.
Behavioral changes: Lead toxicity can cause behavioral problems, such as irritability, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and aggressiveness, particularly in children.
Peripheral neuropathy: Prolonged exposure to lead may lead to nerve damage, resulting in tingling or numbness in the extremities, weakness, and coordination difficulties.
Seizures: In severe cases of lead poisoning, seizures can occur, which are abnormal electrical discharges in the brain that can cause convulsions or loss of consciousness.
Encephalopathy: Chronic lead exposure may cause encephalopathy, which is a broad term referring to brain dysfunction. Symptoms can include confusion, memory loss, disorientation, and even coma in severe cases.

I genuinely wish lasting health upon the man, Trump is very very very good for China. We all know a decoupling is going to happen but he is going about it in the dumbest way possible causing maximum damage to US while most likely failing to decouple in the mean time. I'd much prefer Trump versus another Democrat snake, people don't call him 川建国 for no reason

Trump is truly part of the elite few.
Unhealthy and obese, living to 100.

Oof. Ma Yilong presents himself as the rare voice of reason this time.

Maybe he should consider striking some separate deals with China for his Tesla? Or, you know, just move his company HQ to Shanghai and make Tesla a Chinese company instead?
This news is pretty big. The bans are global so there's no way for the US to reroute purchases. Heavy rare earths is essentially on a timer until stockpiles run out.

Good chance that Musk who is now a friend could end up being an enemy and be directly part of the military industrial complex. Starlink and SpaceX are already heavly reliant on us govt $. Maybe one day his AI will be used by weapons etc.

I think an immediate blockade on Taiwan and a pre-emptive strike on US WESTPAC assets would be the nail in the coffin. By destroying forward deployed assets, China would force the US into a prolonged conflict where the stockpile timebomb would be catastrophic for the US. There is simply no way for the US to spin up alternative sources for heavy rare earths in the timeline it takes for Taiwan to fall under offensive mining and standoff fires.
