I'm aware I have an extremely dim view of this individual, but this is the most adolescent showboating imaginable on his part. As @advocate8 mentioned, the oil and gas subsidies aren't going away. Therefore, in loudly complaining about a huge government subsidy to further the adoption of electric vehicles he's inviting lawmakers to simply write Tesla out of the bill. Heavens knows, many would like the opportunity. If you goal truly is to "accelerate the advent of sustainable transport", then you need electric cars to be far, far below current Tesla prices, and an $8K-$12.5K tax credit is a major pathway to this. Without it, there will simply be fewer EV purchases, less investment in infrastructure, etc. And of course, without massive subsidies, Tesla wouldn't have survived to complain loudly about subsidies. But sure, Elon honey, stamp your little foot anyway...Elon spoke against the BBB bill and said it should be trashed and no subsidies should be given to anyone including EVs and also oil and gas.
