He was never a fucking environmental hero. He saw an opportunity to make money and took it.
He had a good PR team and didn’t use Twitter
He literally foiled government plans to create high speed rail in America. In favor of building tunnels for more cars. How can anyone think for a second he’s any kind of hero?
He has fought against mass transit in favor of electric cars. He’s not the environmentalist he claims to be.
And Tesla is only profitable because it sells its carbon credits to ICE car manufacturers. Whole thing is a scam.
Stop saying Elon has done anything positive, he has not
How tf was he a hero?
EVs are a step in the right direction but everything from production to charging relies on fossil fuels. He doesn’t even build them that well.
He was a hero in the way that most people who didn’t know him used his propaganda to assume he’s one of the people who properly aimed for change to improve our world.
I’m pretty sure he’s whatever will make him the most money.
Yes, he just fooled a lot of us. His only achievement in being “an environmental hero” was investing early in Tesla Motors. That company showed that an EV can look cool and be practical.
Everything else he does, including some things Tesla does say the opposite.
I’d argue their biggest achievement is the nationwide charging network that actually lets long distance driving possible with an EV (as all other options still suck)
He’s a narcissist, he tells the audience that is most convenient to his current goals whatever the fuck they want to hear.
It’s absolutely mind boggling how his early image still defines him to most people. His supporters are at Trump levels of copium
I used to be a fan in Tesla’s and Space X’s early days. Then he built the stupid Vegas tunnel subway. And launched a car in orbit. And got in the way during that cave fiasco. And the self driving fiascos. Anyone that still thinks the dude has all his marbles is willfully ignorant or hasn’t been paying attention.
Who cares? Dude is a fucking nazi
He became an open Nazi over the past few years. It’s a big shift, and I got a lot of pushback on Reddit when I began pointing out his dog whistles.
No lies detected.
He’s in it for himself (mostly whatever will get him praise to stroke his pathetically fragile ego). Any benefit to the climate is an unintended bonus.
The left have standards and principles, so he’ll continue to push right for praise - he’s already xitting in agreement with the Jewish question, so at this point, I think he’s already past the point of no return.
And then on Saturday he dumped so much methane into the sky that it showed up on weather radar.
He’s also reiterating Zionist nonsense.
Haha, what gullible idiot ever thought Musk was an “environmental hero”? 😂
He’s the rare right wing, climate change accepting.
He’s views on it are softening.
In 2018 he though it was the biggest threat, now he thinks population decline is. He’s also retweeted false claims such as farming has no effect, etc.
Honestly I think Elons climate concerns ends where his commercial ventures do. For him going green means batteries, cars, and clean energy to power those, not reducing consumerism/triples R’s or other sustainability.
I can’t see inside his brain but I think he’s referring to biological things. The problem is people are looking up farming which includes all the CO2 from gas, diesel, and probably even ng from fertilizer production. They aren’t the same things.
As for his other things like being against public transit his privilege shows through.
Which would still be wrong.
Methane as a byproduct of ruminates makes up roughly half of the 20% of CO2e emissions created by the agricultural industry.
“Yeah, climate change is real, but I’ll be real dead by the time it affects human survival, so IDGAF.”
climate change is real but not caused by human activities
Letting my Guardian subscription expire was the best thing I did in the year of 2022.
