Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'm not sure his businesses will be glad to welcome him back. Sure, they want him away from the DC spotlights, but the guy is still an addict with a depression.
No, he won’t be welcomed back. But he’ll be back.
His board of directors is glad to have him back. He has singlehandedly tanked his companies' brand image and sales with his irresponsible ego bender, and there has to be serious talk of a shareholder lawsuit in the works, especially after that last disastrous earnings report. The Board probably convinced them to hold off until the next earnings report, hoping things will improve, but it won't. Once a bubble pops, it doesn't reinflate again.
The only thing holding up the stock at this point is that it is a major holding in many institutional funds. As future earnings report remain poor, or even get worse, those institutional funds will start dumping it, and then it will fully crash. At that point, the lawsuit will go forward.
The Board is just hoping that by forcing him to get back to work, and not tolerating his nonsense any more, they may be able to avoid being named in the lawsuit as well.
Tesla will be bankrupt within two years.
