Accelerating sustainable energy is an economic disaster for Russia and his oligarch buddies. That Putin didn't understand how the rest of the world would react to this just shows how out-of-touch he is. This video is a week old, but Putin already looks defeated and unhealthy as he explains his reasoning to the other billionaires:
We thought Tesla was under-valued before this short-sighted invasion of Ukraine but with the newfound urgency to transition to sustainable energies caused by the invasion, TSLA has just become a lot more valuable. Yesterday's rise is not enough to compensate for the newfound value, IMO. And that's putting aside that it was already under-valued, just based on the auto business alone.
I really despise war, but it can sometimes have beneficial side effects!
