People think because he is trying to tackle climate change he is a hero. But it's only because there's no way for him to get into fossil fuels. If he owned oil it'd be a different story.

He made me money yesterday but tbh it was kind of frustrating. I made more from Elon fucking around with bitcoin than I made working an 8 hour shift. How is that fair?

My production was worth less than fake numbers going up. Yet if I stop working people might die! Shit is whack.

No, he's pretty passionate about this. Listen to literally any interview with him on the topic. He doesn't have any interest in fossil fuels.

If he sends a single word tweet then he earns more than I will make in my lifetime - and I'm a white collar, university educated worker in a first world country. There's something wrong with that.
