Conservatives have enjoyed Elon Musk's behavior in recent weeks, blasting Elizabeth Warren, opposing lockdowns, and insulting CNN, but the giddiness spewing from conservatives about Musk is foolish.
To those embracing Elon Musk's political conversion, remember that Musk has been one of the most prominent advocates of the continuous scam known as climate change. Like Bill Gates and Al Gore, Musk is an extremely wealthy man who fattens his own pockets through propagating climate change. And like those other rich guys, Musk doesn't refrain from using private jets to fly around the world to save it.
In 2018, Elon Musk reportedly donated $6 Million to the Sierra Club while writing, "Thank you for fighting climate change. This affects every living creature on earth." Once merely an environmental advocacy group, the Sierra Club has since evolved to promote other left-wing issues from pushing for mass immigration and abortion.
Musk also has no reservations about whispering sweet-nothings to communists by praising China as "more responsible" than the U.S. and said that Chinese government officials could "possibly" be "more responsible" for their citizen's happiness than America is.
In May, Musk tweeted a call for a Carbon Tax and spoke with the Biden administration about implementing it. Musk demanding the government to take money from taxpayers should come as no surprise because Musk's companies received at least $4.9 billion in government subsidies – as of 2015! Therein lies perhaps Musk's most incredible skill: enriching himself with the government's help.
While government subsidies are not exclusive to one industry, what sets Elon Musk apart is not only his ability to exploit taxpayers but to use government guns to extort his competitors through "regulatory credits."

He is a Humanist, therefore a pagan. That is what he has in common with Socialists, Communists, Fascists, and other totalitarians. A world view.
Yes we will.
And for a very long time after that.
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.
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.
Writer should spend his words on Bezos.
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.
Shouldn’t you be out getting a booster shot or something?
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.
Oh that’s right...I forgot...we only have like nine years left or something....
How much electricity can we supply nationwide once internal combustion engines are outlawed for everyone except the powerful few???
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!
What Ive been saying all along. EVs are a scam.
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.
