Elon isn’t part of the club.
That’s a feature, not a bug.

Isn’t that the whole idea. To destroy civilization.

Once the Lear Jet Leftists come out on top (and they think they will), everyone else will be either indentured or destroyed.

Isn't that the idea? The elites do so desperately want to go back to the feudal system.

But Elon, that’s the Plan - just shut up and go along with everyone else.

Musk has a bug up his ass about this “sustainable energy” BS. What is his great plan? Humanity will leave the oil and coal in the ground to rot? It is free energy which is at least as compatible with the environment as volcanoes and forrest fires. Only a fool would shun its use.

Musk’s “sustainable energy” is wood-burning power plants, and a lot of sitting in the dark.

1st - The fraud of "green energy" pretends to address a non-existent problem.

2nd - The real objective is to REDUCE WORLD POPULATION.

3rd - The LIES are being manufactured to get you to buy into the scheme.

Many of us have been saying the same thing. Yes, the transition to EV’s and away from oil/gas/powered vehicles will happen but only if it happens organically in a slow natural way.

Forcing a deadline is a dead end.

The first thing that has to happen before any real transition is a battery that will last 25 years and/or 500k miles, charge in 10 minutes, and have a range of 400 miles using heat or AC. That’s a bare minimum.

The second thing is a way to charge all these new EV’s on the road whether it’s rooftop solar on the vehicles, nuclear power plants, or even a breakthrough in small portable fusion power generators. Wind and solar farms won’t cut it. The current grid is already beyond its maximum capacity.

Sometimes the desires get ahead of technology. This is one such case. Movie makers had to wait to produce certain kinds of CGI based movies until the technology caught up. Once it did there was no turning back with all the new CGI in movies and tv. “Avatar” is a good example. Star Wars is another.

Coming from him, that's like Super Fly telling us we can't all afford to become junkies all at once.

He’s right. You have to have replacement energy sources in place.

It’s not the rate of transition, it’s having something in place to transition to.

Dear Elon,

That’s their goal.

The End

Governments/ movements to push the swap over will fail because they lie about the efficacy and support structure needed.

You can mandate that the trains will run on time. But not for all of them. That’s how Benito ultimately ended up hanging by his feet - DRT.

The tax credit for a battery EV under the newly-signed Inflation Expansion Act is $7500.

Tax credits aren’t subsidies but they’re still taking dollars from taxpayer’s pocket and putting them into Musk’s.

And of course Musk isn’t the only beneficiary of this Socialist scheme but it’s disingenuous to say he isn’t getting subsidies when taxpayers who will never be able to afford his product are still helping people better off than themselves to buy them.

So whether you call it a subsidy or not, taxpayers are subsidizing the cost to the end user of the vehicle.

It takes oil to convert the raw materials into components that go into EVs
