Et Tu Elon (the short version)? You were such an inspiration, until you weren’t. Like many others, I started out revering Elon Musk, for his courage, audacity, and commitment to making electric cars mainstream. He forced Detroit to the table and changed the world. SpaceX? Amazing, along with so many other accomplishments. But did something then happen to Elon? Or were we simply wrong about him from the beginning? First came his commitment to conquering Mars, just because he can afford to, apparently. Forget about planet Earth. Why commit his fortune to fighting climate change and saving humanity, when he could arrange for a tiny group of chosen elites to populate Mars one day? More recently, his Twitter adventure has already turned the platform over to right-wing trolls, racists, Neo-Nazis and worse. During the midterms he endorsed DeSantis and other Republicans in the name of a stronger democracy? WTF? Like many others, I thought buying a Tesla would feel great. But along with a multitude of other likely electric car buyers, it doesn’t feel that way anymore, for some reason.
