Actually, courting republican-leaning voters would be an effective way to get them to care about global warming, or at least consider purchasing electric vehicles. They're already spending $80K+ on trucks, so why not buy a Tesla Cybertruck next time? Musk's overtures towards conservatives might make a bunch of nerds feel alienated, but could be worth it if he can bring the other half of the country into the green market. Those overtures don't make him a conservative, though, just a car salesman. Anyway, imagine conservatives wanting to "conserve" the environment -- a novel thought! But if you see the world in black and white, and left and right, then those types of syntheses are not in the realm of possibility.
