I know this is the bash on Musk thread, but we don't have to burn down the good just to bash the bad. What Tesla did to push the energy transition forward 10-20 years ago was a good thing, we can accept that without liking Musk.

The historical Nazi party also had some quite progressive ideas about ecology and welfare for example.
There's a good reason no one remembers them for it. For one thing, because it was just populism, not something they overall actually believed.
Yeah, Musk did help push a positive narrative about electric cars in a significant way, that's undeniable. But he's also a narcissist and a Nazi and obviously only did it to benefit himself, and has made it extremely clear he doesn't give a crap about people or the environment.
So there really isn't any real reason to give him credit anymore, just like we don't now thank Nazis for their contributions to the society.
