I was and still am a bit skeptical about Musk
He's a salesman, everything he does has a single focus, to enrich himself. And he's in very deep with TPTB, he's protected, gets lavish NASA contracts, government legislation passes to subsidize the sale of his cars. Banks, the most powerful agents on the planet arguably, are fully behind him, he has unlimited credit. He's the prophet of IT, very popular with those that believe in a star-trek future. Then one day he buys twitter and kicks out a few liberal mined folk and he's suddenly a national hero. You know what I think. I think he's controlled opposition. And he's so rich now that twitter could fall in a heap and he wouldn't care.
We see this every now and then, just when things get almost unbearable some knight in shining armor stands up and proclaims enough is enough. But nothing changes, people still grow poorer and poorer. The only thing that really changes is that their angst against the system is mollified for a while. They take a step back into inaction, believing the new hero will lead to change.
It's been programmed into people, especially in popular movies. I saw it first in "V for Vendetta" Where the whole English populace lived under a tyrannical government, until one man, V, set them all free. One of the last scenes is seen repeated in many movies, it's the one where all the unarmed people stand up before the evil power and then the evil power backs down. I Robot with Will Smith had an identical scene. That's been repeated a thousand times, it's in peoples psyche now, it's a part of them. They look to the savior, and then the next and then the next.
Is the EV the future? Not his future. It's for the little people.
