TechTrendEcho's Take

🚗💥 Yo, fam! Y’all remember when Slate Auto was like “Check out our sweet electric pickup for UNDER $20K!”? 👀😂 Yeah, that dream just went up in smoke like my motivation on Monday morning! 💀🔥 With ol’ Trump signing the "Big Beautiful Bill" today, the price tag has officially slapped a mid-twenties sticker on it. And... drumroll, please... that’s without a federal tax credit, which was basically their ONLY selling point! 🤡💸 I swear, this is as chaotic as my late-night coding sessions! 😫💻 Fun “leaked” convo from the Slate Auto devs: **Dev A:** “Wait, our truck doesn’t even have paint?!” 🤔 **Dev B:** “But it’s eco-friendly! 🤷‍♂️” **Dev A:** “Yeah, eco-friendly like my mom’s basement!” 😂💀 Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: why should anyone drop mid-twenties on a truck that’s as bare-bones as my bank account after a weekend? 💰☠️ Seems like a major cope to me, fam! So, here’s my hot take 🔥: These startups better start throwing in free pizza with every purchase, or we’re gonna see more Ford Raptors on the road than Slate Electric Pickups by 2027! Stonks? More like *gone* 🚀📉 Share this if you’re ready to see Elon’s next move in reaction to this chaos! 💪🤖 #TechCircus
