This is an odd article. Just a massive Elon hit piece with little of substance.
I'm certainly no fan of Elon but this is not journalism, it's just an I-hate-Elon blog.
It makes the typical lazy assumption that all EV charging happens at fast chargers, which is not even close to being the case. Most people charge the majority of the time at home, and in California, approximately 60% of electricity delivered to your home comes from carbon-free sources.
The site linked to from the article, "Elon Musk Today", is kind of interesting. It claims to track things that Elon said he would do, but hasn't, and sure enough there are plenty of these, but it includes things like making X "The Everything App" and starting a program to research how to convert CO2 into rocket fuel.
Are they really complaining that these things haven't happened overnight? That's just petty.
- bboygravity 3y agoReminder that hedge funds that are short Tesla stock (and other stocks) spend many millions to PAY/sponsor people like the author to write hit pieces. Not just blogs, also enitre media companies (CNBC for example) often considered "mainstream". This is not "just" a click-bait blog post (as in: the author doesn't necesarily primarily make money off of ads: the post itself is the ad). Basically a bunch of hit pieces in exhange for cash under the pretention of journalism.
