Maybe you're right, but EV is definitely the direction USA is going [0]:
> The president is restoring and strengthening tailpipe emissions regulations from the Obama era and has set a target that half of all vehicles sold in the United States be electric by 2030.
So you would think the press has a favorable opinion of him, at least when it comes to climate change.

- kieselguhr_kid 4y agoWhy would they have a favorable opinion of him? They mostly live for sensation and Musk as villain gets a lot of clicks. Defending his labor practices on the notion that he's a climate savior when even cursory research disproves that seems ridiculous to me.
- walkhour 4y agoI agree, it seems ridiculous to me as well, who has defended his labor practices on the notion he's a climate savior? Can you quote or provide an article link?
- viraptor 4y agoEveryone's going in that direction and scheduling the end of ICE sales. Tesla started first and they got lots of good press at the time. Now they aren't doing many new things in that area beyond fighting over the autopilot-that-isn't. They get noticed when they actually do something newsworthy https://thedriven.io/2022/05/11/musk-says-tesla-superchargers-around-world-will-be-open-to-other-evs/ https://thedriven.io/2022/05/11/musk-says-tesla-supercharger... but otherwise... what do you expect news outlets to care about? "Musk is still doing X after N years" is not great material.
