He is a Humanist, therefore a pagan. That is what he has in common with Socialists, Communists, Fascists, and other totalitarians. A world view.

This has got to be one of the worst articles ever from “Americanthinker”.
Its garbage in every way.
The author would be quite at home working for fake news CNN.

In a couple of years, we will no longer be able to purchase gasoline.

Yes we will.
And for a very long time after that.

To: Tell It Right

Might wanna research what it Wil. Cost to replace the massive battery bank if problems arise, or how much it Will cost to have specialized mechanics work on them

A fella that owned a tesla burned his car whe. He learned 5hsg it was gonna cost him over 22,000 to fix the battery problem he was having with the car. He did it out of protest I guess, but it goes to ch. Show how expensive owning an electric might be. My brother was given one, and it worked well for awhile, but it began having problems, and it stemmed from th3 battery bank somewhere, and he was given a quote to try to fix it. He declined because it was too expensive and because the car wasn’t worth fixing due to the rust, znd ended up buying a used car to replace it instead

Maybe it won’t be so bad, but I think folks. Ight be in for sticker shock,when they get a bill for,repairing things down the line maybe.

Hope freezers figures this out when grocery stores are empty in the winter time because Um hello....electric harvesters and semis aren’t known for their ability to do what an internal combustiin engine can.

These stupid EVs are setting humanity BACK in the long run.

The thing is, he's saved NASA and the federal government billions of dollars by doing things for NASA at vastly cheaper prices than they would have cost without Musk/SpaceX.
Without SpaceX, we'd still be begging for rides to the Spacestation on the Russian Soyuz, like we did for 10 years after the Space Shuttle was stopped, and paying a hefty $90 million per passenger per trip.

I listened to several of his interviews......he’s interesting to listen to. And yes climate change does run through what he speaks about. ....but a listening ear can pick that out and still glean some of what he speaks of.

So tell me, just how long do you think the earth's reserves of fossil fuels will last?
You think they will last forever do you?

Musk is a miner - his business plan mines the public treasuries via the massive tax credits to his customers; tax credits without which he have not enough sales to stay in business.

So much for letting the market decide. Musk fanboys will continue to do the heavy lifting required to justify this.

Once again. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. He’s great at sending stuff to space and generally has a good sense of humor. Doesn’t mean I want him running the world.

Musk is one of the most self-absorbed and self-serving people on the planet.

He is also one of the smartest who has brought change to multiple industries.

The problem is you probably don’t don’t get one without the other.

Dear Liberal Idiots,

Please STOP passing your liberal policies, corporate bail outs, tax loop holes and subsidies and expecting good republicans to NOT take advantage of them.

OR

Stop whining about people who are smarter than you!

Or maybe, like a lot of innovators, he doesn’t fit easily into any prefabricated ideological box. If so, that in itself is something positive.

That could be. I wonder, though, if there could be valuable spinoffs, as there were with the space program.

I wish he would invent a revolutionary internal combustion engine that runs on gasoline.
