If you change just a few details, this could be a description of Trump. And funny enough, the people who hate Musk most are absolutely infatuated with Trump.
They do have a lot of similarities, narcissism is definitely the driving trait behind both of their personalities.
But one major difference is that while Trump rode the coattails of daddy's name right up until he died, Musk has some major daddy issues on account of what a huge POS his dad is and I don't think Musk even associates with his father anymore.
Musk is also a shitty absentee father too. How many people thought this recent baby of his with the weird name was his first kid and didn't realize that it was actually his 7th? Trump at least has a close relationship with his 3 eldest

You'll see a change in rhe next 5 years. Many places see the change already. Find a Tesla heat map and take in that only is for Tesla. Now imagine it with all the car companies making EV in the next few years.

Limited lithium, cobalt etc in the Earth. On top of that lots is under Chinese control.
We like our cell phones, tablets, etc. These compete for lithium etc resources.

When you lie to make your point it makes you look ignorant and no one will respect your opinion. Try again.

I believe Tesla is working on alternatives to cobalt, but both cobalt and lithium are infinitely recyclable. The economics of recycling aren't there yet, but if/when the cost of mining rises then that tilts in favor of recycling. And I am reasonably confident that investment in technology and scale can reduce the cost of recycling substantially when it becomes necessary.
There are also other battery types being developed, as well as supercapacitors.
It just seems a certainty that we will run out of oil before we run out of material to build batteries.

I think biofuels make more sense.
While there's issue with food cost. It's the only true "renewable".

Elon is going to have to put 220 in my garage and widen it for actually fitting 2 vehicles or ill just keep using gas. I really don't see this changing in the next 15 years either. Revolution!
I’ll not buy electric until they improve the range. Plus I love the sound of a twin turbo V8 vs electric.

No doubt, Musk's mom was a hottie

But yeah the competition with food will only grow into a bigger and bigger problem. At some point we will have to pour a lot of resources into vertical farming.

Must be a South African thing. Charlize Theron's mom killed her dad, Oscar Pistorius killed his girlfriend, etc.

If it's wrong to own an African emerald mine then I guess I better sell mine!

What could all those Poliboard INCELs, cowering in their moms' basements, have against a guy who's a successful capitalist and who bangs real women?
