Alex Trembath, deputy director of the Breakthrough Institute, which promotes technological solutions to climate change, says Musk makes some progressives and others on the left uncomfortable because he forces them to confront the inconvenient truth that solving climate change will require them to engage with Americans they find objectionable.
The climate issue is so polarized, he added, that climate advocates tend to be the kinds of people who also support the social justice causes that Musk loves to mock and who are concerned about any wealthy person acquiring too much power. And while many on the left see capitalism and consumerism as the root causes of climate change, Musk is an Ayn Randian industrialist who makes cars that foreground their features, not their eco-friendliness. The Model S selling points are its 200 mph top speed and ability to fit golf clubs or a bike in the back — not the unused fossil fuels.
Some even wonder if Musk's trolling of liberals will make electric vehicles more culturally acceptable to conservatives, intentionally or not.
Elon Schemelon. You are making mountains out of hot air
Why? Because he says he’s for freedom of speech and is not on anyone’s “side” but makes disparaging remakes about the left and let’s the right run with it. 🤡
If and when the combustion engine dies, Elon Musk will far and away be the person most responsible for its death. 🤷♂️
The idea that opinions they don't approve of may be heard by the public has them scared shitless.
Thanks now I'm down the 'Ayn Rand' rabbit hole!
Say what now? Perhaps the right should figure out why they are supporting him? Is it because of his mean tweets and bizarrely hypocritical 'free speech' on twitter stance?
Probably shit takes like this.
Do you really have time for this? You make him believe he is that important and he will end up like TFG.
I throw styrofoam right into the trash 😂
If the left and right would meet somewhere in the middle what a great world it would be. Democrats and Republicans need to get along. This is the biggest problem. Fighting amongst themselves. But they seem to be fine at cocktail parties. Makes you really think.
We hate him because we really thought he was better for a while, and it turns out he was the worst.
It's all money and insecurity. elonmusk has a fear of losing money, he thinks Republicans will help him hold on to it. Who would he be without money? Nobody knows, not even him.
Frankly, who cares? Orange thug and his Non-far rights are sadly stuck in an outdated QAnon cage and elon may have that fluctuating phenomena. Twitter is not the only place to communicate in year 2022.
Actually no left & right but a World Govt.on the principles of Democracy, equality & brotherhood based upon the ultimate Love defined in I Corinthians IX. For & on behalf of 'MOVEMENT For a WORLD GOVT. & a SINGLE HUMAN SOCIETY.' Elon Musk too may join.
ridiculous headline....he is a right winger plutocrat....
Ukraine ON THE UNITED NATIONS EXACTLY 10 months ago,I was asking some questions pertinent on the united nations,I wrote a petition Today,UKRAINE🇺🇦PEOPLE/PRÉSIDENT ARE ASKING THOSE SAME QUESTIONS HAS UN OUTLIVED IT USEFULNESS?
Musk is pro-solar due to his investment is large grid batteries. But he also understands that even the largest of 400 MWe do not generate for unlimited hours. In fact they do not come anywhere close to backing up VRE for practical use. The same is true for EV batteries.
elonmusk Has made EVs attractive to republicans that are supposedly lovers of gas guzzlers. Buying Twitter to win them over is brilliant!
We have to compromise right meets left and left meets right my brain is 5 parts Alien anything I say cannot be denied on the galactic highway of existence
the right left maybe
Uh, aren’t those 2 different issues? Oh, by the way, thanks for confirming the left wing democrat group think ideology!

I blame Elizabeth Warren for hounding him about taxes.
My husband thought he was hot shit until I assembled EM’s actual history & showed hubs. He’s no longer a fan.
Because it may turn-out that he is merely the vessel to bring the far right and their mendacity to an audience of a careless,lawless, cult. Those are already rabid, and want a “shoot-out”. My “left” is conservative. No gold toilets. No separating families. No storming the Capitol
As usual MSM is missing the point. The left have a problem with ALL billionaires whose sole goal is to obtain money and power to the detriment of humanity.

NBC is suffering from EMTDS 😂

Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.
Nah, we’re just laughing. 🤣
Can't speak for others but the more he says, the more he gives off Trump/circa 2015 vibes.
That’s just BS, but what isn’t is what kind of asshole sells a car with no spare!
