The author doesn’t understand what is happening.
Elon Musk and his superb teams of Tesla engineers have developed manufacturing technology that obsoletes the existing. The reason is not the worship of climate change, but to make money, lots of money in unimaginable magnitude.
Twitter pissed Musk off. He is good friends with a Twitter CEO who knows all the Twitter sins and buried skeletons. The Musk run on Twitter is just plain old fun.
I disagree with you here, bert.
I think the author sees quite clearly what is going on, but I think you and the author are looking at it through different prisms.
As I said in my post above, there is much to like about Musk and I admire him for those things, and he is a capitalist in it to make scads of money, often playing both sides of the fence.
It is what it is, for me. I can handle him sucking off the government teat if we get SpaceX types of things. Heck, I would rather my tax money go to subsidizing that, rather than the other silliness I see.
The Tesla plant runs just like any other manufacturing plant. Ain’t nothing new there
