Musk\u2019s politics hadn\u2019t seeped into Tesla. Then he axed its \u2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Washington Post<\/a>:  The Tesla CEO<\/em> was once<\/em> an outspoken<\/em> voice on climate change<\/em>. But Musk<\/em> now argues many risks<\/em> are overstated. \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excerpt:<\/strong> Once one of the most vocal American executives on the dangers of climate change, Musk called for a \u2018popular uprising\u2019 against the fossil fuel industry in a 2016 film. At Tesla, every internal power point presentation had to include figures from former vice president Al Gore\u2019s documentary \u2018An Inconvenient Truth\u2019 citing rising carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, a reminder of the company\u2019s mission. But the paragraph about global warming is no longer required in Tesla\u2019s power point decks and climate change has plummeted on Musk\u2019s list of priorities: In an August live stream on X, he told Trump \u2018we don\u2019t need to rush\u2019 to solve the climate crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
