This Virginia Small Business Is in Limbo As Owner Sues To Stop Trump's Tariffs
Even after scoring a huge victory against President Donald Trump's tariffs in federal court last week, David Levi still isn't sure if his small business will survive the trade war. "It's just been exhausting how uncertain it is," Levi, who started MicroKits in 2020 to get more kids interested in the hands-on science of electrical engineering, tells Reason. Imports are essential to the kits that Levi and his one employee assemble in a warehouse near Charlottesville, Virginia. For example, a kit that teaches kids how to build a small theremin requires a circuit board, resistors, capacitors, bits of wire, and plastic molding to hold batteries and other pieces in place. "I don't have millions and millions of dollars to spin up my own circuit board assembly line, and plastic mold injection, and everything," Levi says. Though he is running a small, niche operation, Microkits is in many ways a microcosm of American manufacturing. Levi provides the ideas and designs, and he oversees the final assembly of his products in America, but those products combine parts sourced from around the globe. About 60 percent of his inputs come from China, Levi says, which puts him more or less in line with American manufacturing as a whole. More than half the imports to the U.S. are raw materials, intermediate parts, or equipment—the stuff that manufacturing firms need to make things—rather than finished goods. It is those supply chains that the trade war is jeopardizing. He's had to put on hold plans to offer a new kit that would allow kids to build a musical synthesizer powered by the electrical current found in bananas (which are also getting more expensive, thanks to tariffs). "It's not a question of 'oh do you build the kits entirely in America or with international parts?'" Levi says. "It's a question of do you build the kits with international parts versus you don't build these science kits at all. And then, instead of kids getting a cool science project at Christmas, they just get another app on their iPad that they already have." Levi and MicroKits are plaintiffs in the lawsuit that briefly blocked many of Trump's tariffs last week when the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that the president did not have the legal authority to impose those tariffs. Less than 24 hours later, that injunction was put on hold by a federal appeals court—leaving the tariffs in place, for now, and business owners like Levi in limbo. Next week will be pivotal. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit gave the Trump administration until Monday to file its briefs for the next stage of the legal process. A full ruling on the merits of the case could take weeks or months, but the first thing the appeals court will have to decide is whether to maintain the temporary order blocking the lower court's injunction against the tariffs, says Jeffrey Schwab, senior counsel at the Liberty Justice Center, which is representing Levi and several other business owners in the lawsuit. "I'd be shocked—and disappointed, honestly—if they don't make a decision [regarding the stay] before Friday of next week," Schwab tells Reason. "So by next week at this time, hopefully we'll know."

Elon Musk's Secret Weapon in His War With Donald Trump
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. It was barely an hour after Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt last summer when Elon Musk declared his full support. The post on X, his social media platform, landed fast and took off like one of Musk's rockets: "I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery." Musk—once ridiculed by Trump for leading companies that made "driverless cars that crash" and "rocketships to nowhere"— slapped a red MAGA hat on his profile photo, lit up X with pro-Trump memes, and used his platform's reach to carpet-bomb swing states with political propaganda dressed as engagement. By sundown, Trump's digital war room was headquartered on X, and Musk looked like the unofficial campaign manager. Ten months later, he detonated that alliance in real time. Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk joins U.S. President Donald Trump during an executive order signing in the Oval Office at the White House on February 11, 2025 in Washington, DC. Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk joins U.S. President Donald Trump during an executive order signing in the Oval Office at the White House on February 11, 2025 in Washington, DC. Photo byEvery political strategist in Washington could see it coming. Musk, the richest man in the world, doesn't share power. Trump, the most unrelenting figure in American politics, doesn't forgive disloyalty. Their mutual dependency—money for clout, platform for power—was a high-speed arrangement that seemed destined for a crash. For almost three years, Musk used X, formerly Twitter, to help rebuild Donald Trump's public image and support his 2024 presidential run. He reinstated Trump's account that had been banned after January 6, shared meme after meme mocking Democrats, chatted with MAGA influencers and hosted live conversations with Trump and others. Within months, Musk had reshaped the platform's algorithms to favor a content ecosystem that amplified Trump's message, according to social media researchers. "A lot of the far right returned to Twitter because all of a sudden it looked like a safe space," said Giulio Corsi, a researcher at the University of Cambridge in Britain who has been studying X's recommendation system. His findings were blunt: inflammatory posts, particularly those containing false or misleading links, surged in reach. "Tweets expressing right-leaning political bias see heightened amplification compared to the baseline model," Corsi wrote in a case study examining 2.7 million posts on X in early 2023. But the platform's bias wasn't just anecdotal. A Wall Street Journal analysis found that new users interested only in non-political topics were still bombarded with Trump-aligned content, and that pro-Trump accounts appeared twice as often as those favoring Vice President Kamala Harris during last year's presidential election. The Washington Post also reported that Republican congressional accounts received billions more views than their Democratic counterparts, further illustrating Musk's platform as a potent, asymmetric political tool. Blurred Lines Musk's hands-on management of X's internal mechanics blurred the line between owner and political actor. During the 2024 election cycle, Musk took his control to new political heights, according to Hamed Qahri-Saremi, associate professor of information systems at Cleveland State University. "We are seeing social media platform owners as active political actors, not just neutral hosts that used to be the norm," Qahri-Saremi told Newsweek. "Musk's influence on social media primarily stems from two channels: his structural control as the owner of X, which gives him gatekeeping power over policies, algorithms, and norms—and his personal activity, where he promotes specific narratives and amplifies particular users." This photo of Elon Musk was taken from a video grab taken from a video he posted on his Twitter account on October 26, 2022 when he visited the Twitter headquarters in San Francisco. Musk...

Musk officially completed his acquisition of Twitter after months of delays. More Photo from Twitter account of Elon Musk/AFP via Getty Images It worked—for a while. After Musk endorsed Trump on X last summer, the platform's energy shifted almost immediately in MAGA's favor. Posts praising Trump surged. Once Joe Biden bowed out, content attacking Kamala Harris—including a viral AI-generated image of her in communist regalia—wasn't just allowed; it was spread by Musk himself. Kamala vows to be a communist dictator on day one. Can you believe she wears that outfit!? — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 2, 2024 That shift was reinforced by Musk's overhaul of how information is verified on the platform. He ended Twitter's partnerships with professional fact-checkers, replaced them with "Community Notes"—a crowdsourced system run by anonymous users and algorithms—and removed the traditional verification badges that once signaled a user was who they claimed to be. As a result, misinformation and political propaganda spread more easily, especially from verified accounts who could pay for reach. "Other major platforms, such as Meta, subsequently adopted similar practices earlier this year, resulting in significant shifts in fact-checking content on social media platforms," Qahri-Saremi said. "Third-party, professional fact-checking does not exist on these platforms as it once did." Pull The Plug? He hasn't muted Trump—not yet. But if Elon Musk wanted to, he could do it with a keystroke. As the biggest account on X, with more than 220 million followers, Musk's reach is immediate and absolute. His posts fill the feeds of users who do not follow him. Some who have actively blocked him report that they still see his musings. His Thursday barrage of attacks on Trump—accusing him of lying, reposting calls for impeachment, and floating a Jeffrey Epstein connection over the course of about 40 posts—racked up tens of millions of impressions in a matter of minutes. On X, that means they were likely seen by the majority of active users, whether they followed him or not. That scale matters. According to a recent Pew Research Center study, 59 percent of X users say they rely on the platform as their primary source of news. With a global user base exceeding 500 million, that gives Musk a direct pipeline to shaping how vast swaths of the internet experience political reality.

President Donald Trump and Elon Musk shake hands while attending the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championship on March 22, 2025, in Philadelphia, unlike Trump—who posts mainly on Truth Social, where the reach is narrower and engagement smaller—Musk controls not just the content, but the code. He can dial engagement up or down, signal boosts with a single retweet, or let critics vanish into algorithmic limbo without ever banning them outright. "He has structural control," said Qahri-Saremi. "That gives him gatekeeping power over speech norms, algorithms, and who gets seen." It wouldn't be the first time Musk reprogrammed the ground beneath his rivals' feet. Kamala Harris began her sprint toward the general election last fall, her campaign claimed posts supporting her began vanishing from timelines. Pro-Harris accounts reported sudden drops in engagement, unexplained suspensions and disappearing trending topics. Musk did not answer their questions at the time. He has denied manipulating the algorithm for political reasons, but now that X is a private company under his full control, that algorithm is a black box visible only to him and the coders who work for him. The code itself remains perhaps Musk's most potent weapon for control of the modern attention economy — should he decide to use it against the sitting president.
