    Donald is pro Tesla (now) not pro EV and definitely is not against combating climate change. With many government incentives for purchasing EV’s going away, Donald placing tariffs on Chinese products ( oh wow, BYD is Chinese, and sells extremely cheap EVs that people would prefer to buy over Teslas when you just look at the cost), Donald potentially putting tariffs on other electric vehicles from foreign countries (well look at that, now Tesla is one of the few non tariffed options along with other american electric cars), and with Teslas were being hawked at the white house, yeah it makes a lot of sense for Elon to support the most corruptible candidate.

    Elon doesn’t care about the environment, he only cares about getting his companies ahead. Kamala wouldn’t give HIM special treatment, and it would be hard for him to convince her to do so. Donald just needs some money and he’ll gladly talk about how “everything’s computer” inside a tesla in front of the white house.

    And this is really just a distraction from your main point. Destroying Teslas doesn’t negatively affect the environment as badly as Musk supporting Trump, how is actively encouraging climate change.

      Okay, so in order to save the climate, we should buy EVs made in China, a country famous for its lax environmental standards, not to even mention lack of worker rights or treatment of minorities…
