    Under the mantra “DRILL, BABY, DRILL,” he says he would ramp up oil drilling on public lands and offer tax breaks to oil, gas, and coal producers. He would roll back Biden administration efforts to encourage the adoption of electric cars and reverse proposed new pollution limits that would require at least 54% of new vehicles sold in the U.S. to be electric by 2030.

    I wonder if Elon is still a fan.

      Of course he is. It’s all about how loud and controversial the rhetoric is. It doesn’t matter what is actually being said, but rather, it’s about causing further division of the people. That allows people with the slightest bit of power to get more power without being seen.

      The rich person tax breaks he will pass (quietly, while making noise on other stuff)will ensure that it’s a net gain for Elon. EV adoption isn’t going to stop no matter what Trump does anyways. At most he can slow it down.
