It's funny that most of the people shitting on Musk right now were the same that used Trump's money as a proxy for his intellect.

Not to mention the fact that Trump hasn't done shite to serve humanity in his business ventures and that's essentially all Musk has done.

This climate agreement is nothing but a way to punish America, slow down our economy, and "redistribute" our wealth. That's all it's about and all it will ever be about.

While I respect Musk's entrepreneurial genius, he is dead wrong here.

Well he's employed thousands upon thousands of people with his ventures, so there's that.

So has Musk. Probably more so. Let's just say they're even in terms of employment... what's left for Trump? Trump University? Golf courses? Luxury hotels? Steaks?

Lots of high paying hotel and golf course jobs! Plus Vietnamese workers to make Trump suits!

Silly Musk just hires a bunch of rocket scientists, engineers, and designers...what a loser

Trumps current businesses don't need $5,000,000,000 dollars from the US government to stay afloat.

I wish they'd give him $10,000,000,000.

Having a moral standard is equivalent to a god complex?

How is the Paris agreement "moral?" The only reason Musk is for it is because it helps his business (and fricks everyone else).

I would, gladly. Model 3 is about the same cost as the vehicle I drive (and pay out the arse for gas for).

Tesla workers passing out on the factory floor

Business insider on working conditions

Real humanitarian. Paying a huge $22/hr in California and then cutting pay after injured workers are reduced to light duty.

It isn't about the moral nature of the Paris agreement. Musk believes climate change is real and impacted by humans (see... well, every one of his businesses). His moral standard is being violated by Trump and he's having a backbone by backing out.
