That the FTC is still continuing its mission unabated is the most surprising thing of this administration.
Very, very optimistic of you to assume this isn't just retaliation for something, or because Musk is planning some new rideshare company/arm of Tesla.
Well the Facebook and Google antitrust lawsuits have both been going since the Biden administration and Zuckerberg was at the inauguration and that lawsuit hasn't been stopped yet. Maybe the FTC still has some power? Or DOGE forgot about them (lol no) or DOGE just hasnt gotten to them yet.
I doubt well see the FTC sue Tesla anytime soon but if they can work on some of these other tech giants I welcome it.
I believe at least one of the anti-trust lawsuits Google lost was brought by the previous Trump Administration.
