To_those of_you asking_me privately_if Tesla_could
1. Buy outright 78,500mtpa (for 20 years) approved export LCE quota from Codelco for $2,000,000,000 net-net cash upfront?
2. Pump $1,000,000,000 immediately into Chile's recently-raided AFP pension plan for Chilean citizens in exchange for a fully operational/production mining permit to mine lithium in Maricunga signed/notarized in triplicate by the Ministry of Mining as a free-standing independent MSB_SpA/Tesla private company (ie taxpayer) with all of the mined lithium from Maricunga exempt from legislative Strategic Minerals restrictions?
3. Tack the Codelco-purchased 78,500mtpa LCE quota on top of the MSB_SpA approved 20,000mtpa LCE export quota for a total of a 98,500mtpa quota?
Is this possible you're asking?
Well damn, I suppose then it is possible if you want my opinion.
