“But remember, what really made him Elon Musk—the megatitan who commands the ears of politicians and executives, became a global name with an inescapable suite of companies, and stood distinct from other wealthy founders—was his eagerness to take on a seemingly impossible mission: to weaponize American industry in the fight to mitigate climate change.”
But his wallet!

If he REALLY wanted to mitigate climate change he would sell $20,000 EVs.
But his wallet.
The reality is it has always been a way to capitalize off the rich, “Oh, I feel so bad for making the world an awful place” — buy this car, it will lure you into a world of complacency where you do absolutely nothing, but feel green about it.
But, hey, Musk tests rockets in a sensitive ecological area.
So much for giving two fucks about the planet.
@feloneouscat "Concern for climate change" was a convenient label to pounce on a developing market.
Elon's enthusiasm for (energy hog, heat generating) AI shows how little he really cares, as does his continuing mission to turn the Gulf Coast into a toxic waste dump.
