> When was the last time we saw a post in HN talking about how Elon Musk is helping combat climate change? Is he? - Sure, Tesla pushed the EV market forward but EVs aren't really a solution. We need efficient transport with less infrastructure than roads, but in Musks view public transport is bad as there "might be a killer" next to you. SolarCity also lost relevance in the space since integration with Tesla. With SpaceX his goal also doesn't seem to be to enable scientific advance in researching climate from space or building technologies which can help here but to abandon the planet and building a colony on Mars, where he and his friends can build a new world, just for them.
