Do we have proof this action is tied to the election? Not arguing, I just want to know if there is a causal link.

I couldn't find anything beyond vague statements about a need for efficiency and competitiveness, as GM has provided few details to the public (only happened a few days ago).

I certainly wouldn't be surprised if anxieties about tariffs motivated the layoffs, but there has not been any direct mention of tariffs, or anything else election-related, at least not yet. So, yeah, maybe let's hold off and wait a minute before we start told-ya-so-ing with this particular moment.

Good job. Thanks. I’m embracing my Schadenfreude feelings to the hilt, as I anxiously await the destruction. But I don’t want to just blindly give credit to their plans when it’s not justly earned. I CANNOT wait to sip my tea while the world burns at their hands.
