In the back of my head, I always wonder, what if he’s actually brilliant, and this is all just a ploy to get dumb racist rednecks off of ICE vehicles.
If that's his 5d chess plan then he's dumb as shit.
Rednecks do not want EVs. They want 70k trucks plus a lift kit and modified engines to enable rolling coal on any EV or hybrid they come across. They are on purpose going in the opposite direction out of spite.
*Also battery energy density isn't capable of hauling big loads for long distances
Elon is just a moron who failed upwards
I considered that too (the ploy, not the brilliant part) when he initially started changing his tone, but it didn't take long before I realized that was very unlikely. His response the diver that rescued those kids in the flooded cave really sealed it for me realize that he's just a man with too much money and not enough sense.
