It's more than just he sells electric cars. Tesla generates fake "carbon credits" by doing so. If other companies have to pay a carbon tax they can offset the carbon tax by buying some carbon credits from Tesla.

So Musk isn't so green -- he wants people to keep using oil and coal and such as long as they have to buy Tesla carbon credits for it.

This, yes. Musk is a conman and a pretty clever one. He LARPs as a "libertarian" savior of sorts, but as soon as he gets for himself what he's looking for out of the elites, he'll enthusiastically sell the common man into the chains he's been paid to forge.

Good point! I wonder how many “carbon credits” Space X needs for a launch!
