Elon Musk Threatens to Quit Advisory Panel if Donald Trump Cuts Energy Taxes, Subsidies

Elon Musk is threatening to resign from President Donald Trump’s business advisory panel if he extracts Americans from the Paris Climate Agreement which indirectly subsidizes Musk’s multiple billion-dollar business projects.

The Wednesday threat came after news reports announced that Trump has decided to quit the 2016 agreement, which critics say would increase energy costs for U.S. consumers, factories and workplaces.

The threat was delivered via a pair of tweets from the entrepreneur, who has skillfully harnessed a variety of federal regulations to subsidize his Tesla electric-car company, his SolarCity energy company, and a Nevada battery factory.

Trump is under huge pressure from his supporters and many business groups to quit President Barack Obama’s Paris deal, which has not been sent to the Senate for approval. When shaking hands on the deal, Obama promised the United States would reduce “global warming” by cutting U.S. emission of “greenhouses gases” by one-quarter by 2025, chiefly by taxing natural fuels and subsidizing new solar energy.

Trump’s decision to quit the Paris deal would help many U.S. manufacturing industries by reducing the cost of energy from burning coal, oil, and natural gas. That cheaper energy would be a big gain for the hard-pressed manufacturing communities in the midwestern states whose voters carried Trump over the Democrats’ “Blue Wall” November 8, 2016.

But if Trump pulls out of the Paris deal, it will damage the political support and government subsidies given by Democrats to the new low-carbon industries concentrated in the Democratic-voting West and Southwest...

This is like celebrities threatening to move if we do something that angers them.

Multinational Banks and Corporations Trigger Immediate Angst Over Trump Withdrawal From Paris Treaty…

Posted on May 31, 2017 by sundance

Every word we read, every corporate broadcast, every espoused punditry opinion, every angle that’s visible, everything surrounding the Paris Climate “Treaty”, All.Of.It., is driven by multinational banks and corporations who have a vested financial interest.

The Paris Climate Treaty has nothing to do with “climate” and everything possible to do with economics, globalism and the controlled redistribution of economic wealth as constructed through decades of advanced policies of multinational financial interests.

There are factually TRILLIONS of dollars at stake.

When you consider the pontificating pearl-clutching from the financial and industrial elites, ask yourself this very basic question:

If Elon Musk (Tesla), Tim Cook (Apple), Larry Page (google), Mark Zuckerberg (facebook), or any of the myriad of multinational executives really cared about “climate change”, then why are they doing business in China?

I’m sure President Trump would cordially bid farewell to Elon and keep his campaign promise. My concern is Ivanka’s influence in the matter.

I thought Curly Bill would show up in the first 3 posts . Does the spirit of Powers Booth still live on ???

If Mr. Musk believes the global warming fantasy, he’s not nearly as intelligent as most people give him credit for.

...

I think he’s very smart when it comes to business and engineering, and I’m a fan of many of his accomplishments, but he’s made it clear that he supports the climate scam 100%. Perhaps it’s due to a conflict of interest that clouds his judgement on the issue.

[Saltmeat]

You must be kidding me. A guy that makes and sells electric automobiles supports the global warming scam.

[Beagle8U]

There ya go.

[Beagle8U]

I know. Trump should start tweeting Curly Bill gif.

Musk and his businesses won’t survive without government subsidies.

I just drove 4,000 miles to CA and back.....never saw a single Tesla. Guess they don’t venture out on the open road much.

Buh-bye! Bugger off, ya commie bastid!

Especially if you marry crazy women with a history of taking men to the cleaners.

The world is full of pretty blonde women with large breasts. What’s the draw of one who is sure to be a disaster? Is it the roller-coaster thrill of waiting for the sudden but inevitable catastrophe?

So Musk is upset if they take away his free money.

And here we’d been fed a myth that he was some great entrepreneur.
