No, not really. That's just delusional marketing fluff. Electric cars are still polluting the planet, especially when you consider the natural resources and pollution involved in battery manufacturing.Referencing the video Fox shared, do you believe Elon's claim to have done more for the planet than anyone? Alternate question, do you really think electric cars are saving the planet?
However, it's worth noting that Tesla has helped bring the topic of sustainability to the forefront.
Additionally, we're not exactly saving the planet. No matter what we do to earth do you think the planet gives a shit? If the planet decides to unleash earthquakes, tsunamis, or diseases, we are as dead as Julius Caesar. Nobody no matter how strong can save the planet (that's a marketing buzzword); we're simply trying to preserve our habitat.
That being said, I am a big fan of Elon and I believe his Twitter project to provide a democratized platform is very important in today's day and age.
Once upon a time, there was this slogan "I may not agree with a word you say but will defend to the death your right to say it!" attributed to Voltaire (but you can never be sure).
Now we have gone to an era of beeps on every F*ck, woke and right-wing propaganda, and eco chamber Social media and Google searches that confirm our monkey brain biases on every occasion.
So the Elon Twitter/ X project is a move in the right direction to give everyone compliant with the law a voice.
