        Eyyy, look at this guy. He openly supports the political ideology whose representatives worldwide have stonewalled every action to combat climate change, and he thinks we should give anything he says on the subject due consideration.

        What a jokester.

          I’m part of the cause by driving electric and running solar? Please elaborate.

            You vote against your own self-proclaimed interests.

            You can’t vote conservative in the 21st century without being either a self-interested jackass trying to protect your own hoard of wealth, or an idiot who has been convinced by the wealth hoarders that conservatives are looking out for anyone but them.

            The people you vote for are the reason why this planet is on a collision course with fucked. The only reason Elon started bought an electric car company is because he saw a market ripe for exploitation and convinced idiots that he was a Stable Genius who wanted to save the world so they’d buy his shittily-made cars. He’s the richest person on the planet and could easily solve untold numbers of problems threatening humanity and Earth by himself, but he’ll only do the things that will make him even more money in the process.

              I vote for my own interest but thanks for the advice.

              Neither party has a viable solution for climate change. I think the democrats is worse than the republicans.

              Also you don’t understand wealth. If Elon converted his wealth to cash, he’d no longer be at Tesla, space x, boring, etc. that wealth is the value of those companies.

              Personally I’d like to see him take a step back from Tesla before he runs it into the ground but I doubt he will.

                You think the Republicans (drill baby, drill) have a better answer than Democrats (subsidize Green energy)…

            Oh well gee I stand corrected. You’re a paragon of climate conscientiousness. I will not take anyone who posts articles from Fox News seriously. Actually in any matter come to think of it.
