    Since he removed “sustainable” from Tesla’s mission then, regardless of his appalling ideology, this is definitely a GOOD thing.

    I confess when he took over Tesla (which he didn’t found) with the goal of democratizing electric car by making them cheaper I was excited. I don’t like cars and believe they are genuinely a terrible purchase, both at the individual level AND at the societal level, and yet I thought this would be helpful for a transition away from fossil fuel, at least.

    How wrong I was… so yes I remember this personal mistake a warning tale : do NOT trust a mission of a corporation, only trust it’s past actions.
