Yes, most Western car producers have bought from #Rusal, like #Tesla.
However, in contrast to them, there usually isn't a personal connection with their CEO and the #Russian president working towards the goal of replacing the #USD as #reserve currency, like #Elmo's #PayPal, #Thiel. (See @davetroy threads)

Presently, #TESLA's non-#Chinese production facilities R all in the #US. Any intended expansion of the #EU scheme w/ #Rusal will now be 2 costly.
