    It has been very fashionable for awhile now for the conservative/libertarian philosophies to accept Elon Musk since he joined forces with Trump. However, I never trusted Musk. I always thought he was an opportunist and a manipulator with a snide and mean attitude. He has an unfortunate tendency to insult people and pontificate rather than debate them. Plus, the main thing, is that he actually believes the climate change nonsense. I simply cannot respect anyone’s intelligence if they really and truly believe that 0.04% CO2 in the atmosphere is going to destroy the world, and that by driving battery-powered cars and putting up windmills and solar panels we can solve the alleged problem. That’s a religion, not science, and it’s all based on greed.

    I’m really starting to think that Musk faked the entire thing regarding his “alliance” with Trump, and that it was all done out of an attempt to manipulate Trump into embracing the idiotic concept of climate change, and promoting those crummy Tesla cars.

      I don’t think that anyone with 0 political background can fake himself into any relevant governmental position.
      They may can buy or blackmail their way into it.

      And it would have been way cheaper and more profitable and comfortable for Musk to abuse Twitter for massive AGW propaganda 24/7,censor the critics and go pro Harris,get all MSM and big tech praise and becoming silicon valleys De Niro than doing what he’s done.

      His position isno different than Trumps take on H1B visas.
      He called them very bad and unfair
      and used them for his business.

    Why race to destabilize our electricity grid and impoverish ourselves via solar power?

    So if China would go solar
    they would drop to sub-communist levels.

    And the only reason solar in China can pretend to be a success story
    seems to betraditionell energy.
    Without them they would not be able to produce 10 panels without going full Mao on the poulation.

    My take on Musk is…. and no doubt I could be wrong…. he has more money than John D. Rockefeller and God combined. at this point money doesn’t motivate him. I think Musk relished the publicity of him being buddies with the world’s most powerful man, Donald Trump. the relationship slightly fractured but he’s back begging to be taken back into the fold.. why? certainly not because he needs the money. I could be wrong but I think I read that Musk only owns only 12% of Tesla at this point so that’s not a front burner issue for him.. in my thinking. was it Toyota who just came out and said EV’s pollute three times as much as hybrid cars? if I know that then musk knew that way before I did. Musk should be advised to stay with the Trump team because the Democrats want to put him in prison… like they do all other people who don’t swallow their tainted Kool-Aid.
