You seem confused and unaware about many things and as a result fill in the blanks with having a whole host of assumptions.
If you are talking about climate change (if),
I wasn’t.
Elon's words about it have been ambivalent for quite some time now. He recently tweeted that CC is "trajectorally" solved.
Ok. So? He believes its trajectory is solved. That’s his opinion. Agree/disagree what does it matter? He’s only one man, but Tesla continues to grow and expand on its mission.
He shrugged when asked about Trump words antiEV, saying that EVs are anyway inevitable.
Yes? So? What do you want him to say about the guy who has a high probability of being the next president and who has a bug up his butt about EVs right now? You want Elon to say something and make another enemy? Shrugging and answering as he did (that it doesn’t matter what that guy thinks because we’re going EVs with or without his opinion) was absolutely perfect. But here you are criticizing Elon.
He spoke as a VIP guest at the most far-right cultural event in Italy and didn't say a word about EVs or CC.
So? He’s spoken on the topics ad naseum for over a bloody decade. Broken record/beating a dead horse. What exactly do you think he needed to say to that group of people that he hasn’t already said thousands of times?
In truth you’re just upset it wasn’t a political group you support.
He says often that CC is bad long-term but fine short-termThen, on the other hand, he pushed for a carbon tax on X a few days ago!
So? None of that is in contradiction. Define short term - exactly. A day? A week? A decade? Define long term - exactly. Six months? A century? A millennium? What exact time frame was he referencing?
I imagine he’s thinking a carbon tax (which he’s been in favor of for well over a decade), would speed up the demise of the fossil fuel industry thusly helping the planet and the climate - LENGTHENING mankind’s existence on the planet.
My take is that, currently, he thinks this is granted, so it's not a challenge anymore, so it's boring.
Your take may or may not be correct. Maybe you should ask him directly then you don’t have to make assumptions.
For people like Musk, boredom is the ultimate enemy, like it was for Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty. Boredom is the enemy for these super-hero types.
Again, that’s your take and assumption. Let’s assume you’re right and he’s bored. So, what? He’s entitled to live his life, not the life YOU want him to live. He’s not psychoanalyzing you and telling you how to move through life.
It's a paradox, but he's much better with his deeds than with his words, regarding climate change. Which is a unique situation, to be honest, with all the fake environmentalists out there, on both sides of the political spectrum (and mainly on the left).
Sir, everyone is a walking paradox.
There are people who are good at talking and people who are good at doing. There are people who admire good talkers, people who can be swayed by good talkers, people who can be outright fooled by good talkers.
There are people who are good at doing and people who admire doers.
So, what?
As much as I understand the realpolitik of going arm in arm with his right-wing friends, I disagree with him that is helpful for the mission to "downplay" short-term effects of climate change, and take EVs for granted, and such.
He doesn’t care what you think. You can disagree until you’re blue in the face, he’s going to do whatever he’s going to do.
The judgement, though, that you swing around is hypocrisy at its best. He’s done more, given more, sacrificed more, (DOING over TALKING) than you or anyone else have towards helping fight climate change, but you disagree with who he hangs out with and what he says. Bless your heart.
Tesla mission is to "accelerate" the advent of a sustainable society, so it's time-sensitive. Even more: time is the only thing that count, if long-term this is inevitable as he thinks. Long-term we are all dead, as Keynes said.
You realize there are over 100,000 people working at Tesla, and that the company is growing as fast as it can, doing as much as it can. He can’t make it go any faster and neither can you by adding to the pile on.
Yes. Long term we are dead. See above, a person focusing on political parties and leanings, criticizing someone who’s accomplished impossible tasks nobody else would even try and so on.
You are not alone. And that is why we are dead. Stop criticizing. Stop disagreeing. Stop talking. Go do.
Go for it!
