Serious question(s):
How much in subsidies does he get compared to, say, Chrysler, GM, and Ford?
GM was bailed out bigly and I bet a lot of you drive Chevy trucks!
Again, y'all are holding Elon/Tesla to different standards than Trump or GM.

Not only that but if his only motivation is money and not actually caring about much else, and trump put him on as an advisor.....

based on any research you read the Paris Agreement was going to have, at best, a laughably minuscule/negligible effect on global temperatures over 100 years at an insane cost - to the tune of a percentage of a degree at a price in the trillions of dollars.
One obvious motivation is that agreements like the Paris Accord will make traditional energy more expensive and push more people to things like oh I don't know - a Tesla electric car maybe? You think he might like that?

Bc green energy at the current time is so much more expensive than fossil fuels that to compete he needs a boost and to get the boost global warming must be a manmade fixable thing?

The GM bailout alone cost taxpayers $10 billion.

Ford and GM get plenty of taxpayer dollars too, bud. Not sure why you're singling out Tesla.

One of these is not like the other. And do you mean on a per vehicle basis or total? oh yeah 377-5690 and I have one to pick up as well ask him to give me my card again
Tesla subsidies are welfare for the wealthy

Ummmmmm what?
The OP assumes that what drives Musk's conclusion is some personal motivation rather than it simply being him evaluating an issue and coming to the wrong conclusion.
When people assume that conclusions are based upon motivations, it's always assumed for OTHER people.
IE, they believe THEY come to conclusions based upon reason but the other guy has some ulterior motive.
No. It's perfectly possible for two people to reason their way to opposing conclusions.

How the frick can you make a decision and conclusion with no motivation? Explain that to me.

The US, Syria, and Nicaragua are the three stupidest countries in the world except we are led by the stupidest leader of them all. Elon makes electric cars, dude. What on earth would make you think that pulling out of the Paris accord would not repulse him -- and almost 100% of the free and non-free world that realizes that we are poisoning our planet.

Damn that's one hell of a weepy vagina.
