  If you care more about preventing Elon from getting richer than getting more EV adoption, then that's exactly what I'm talking about. If climate change is a major problem, then we should fight it, even if it means Elon gets richer. If you don't think it's a major problem, then mission accomplished.

      I'm more than happy to criticize Elon, but seeing as he's only getting richer, I don't think he needs my advice. But in this post, I'm criticizing people who demonize Tesla to stick it to Elon. That's going to hurt efforts to combat climate change. If you think billionaires getting richer is a bigger problem than climate change, I understand. But that's why global warming is getting worse--because even climate activists would rather fight different battles.

        elon/tesla is not the only EV manufacturer, so idk why you are insisting on framing elon/tesla as some kind of climate messiah... in fact elon helped elect the most climate change denialist president in recent history so one might argue elon is actively hurting the global warming fight...

          But that’s my argument. Having Elon support Trump was bad for the environment! We should have done more to keep him on our side!
