Don't worry, the Trump admin will "fix" that with their intent to push ICE vehicles over electric [0] and coal power over wind/solar [1].

I thought that Musk, the electric vehicle guy, is in charge now, which would be positive for the environment.

When's the last time you heard Musk saying/doing anything about Tesla, anyhoo?

He's practically forgotten that company. Which makes that whole stock bonus thing hilarious.

Not true. Every so often he chimes in to give another unrealistic ship date for "full" "self" "driving": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_predictions_for_autono...

Including last week: "We're going to be launching unsupervised Full Self-Driving as a paid service in Austin in June"

The first article you posted doesn’t say the new admin will push combustion vehicles over electric vehicles. It says that Trump wants consumers to buy the kind of vehicle of their choice.

You're locking in on one throwaway line.

Follow the money.

PS: I'm honored you made an account just to reply to me. I'm touched, truly.

That article doesn’t say that the new admin intends to push combustion vehicles over electric vehicles, either.
