Did anyone mention his late agenda regarding "green" mining etc in the US? Given that this guy is one of the largest manufacturers in solar power equipment I find it hard to believe he won't try to push his "green" stuff to miners, while lobbying legislation supporting it.
After all, he is a businessman and one of the richest individuals in the planet. Don't expect these people to do something just because they believe that it will benefit the humanity. There will be a selfish motive behind each of his moves. Now I can't confirm Elon's connection to solar panel manufacturing, because this is the first time that I am hearing about it. But I won't be surprised if it's turns out to be true. Elon Musk is one of the main beneficiaries of this climate change debate. If the concern about climate change is not there, then no one would actually purchase his overpriced EVs.
