The Terrifying World of Elon Musk

I’m amazed to find legitimate, intelligent environmental activists support Elon Musk because of the role he’s playing in forwarding the cause of electric transportation.

Let’s imagine a world where both the energy and the transportation sectors have made great progress in decarbonization, but MAGA Republicans have brought Donald Trump back into position as the most powerful person on the planet.

We’ve gone a long way to mitigating climate change, but we are now living in a world in which the wealthiest country on Earth is no longer a democracy, nor is it a nation of laws.  It’s run by a cruel dictator, whose every whim, regardless of how grossly unfair and illegal, is carried out without question or recourse. Dissidents are hunted down like pheasants.

If you’re not a similarly amoral person sitting on at least five or ten million dollars, you find yourself in a living nightmare.
