Elon Musk inserted himself into the debate over the role climate change plays in wildfires as at least five fires scorched the Los Angeles area. But scientists are clear: a warming planet has created the conditions.

It is normal. What isn't normal is that it is happening outside of the fire season. People think that this change isn't a big deal, but it's. Nature works in cycles, and those cycles are disappearing.
Nah, I'm someone who learned how to live with nature and understand how nature works. Something that I'm pretty sure you don't understand since you can't recognize that something is wrong with nature. One day, you will look back and say, "I wish I listened to the people who warned us."
‘Inserting himself’, well yes he’s been doing that of late, and Donald is growing weary of it. Melania maybe she has a different opinion? Elon did get a heck of a plug job tho, kudos to the science that brought us that, but boo to the climate scientists who have inconvenient facts.
So Musk figures himself an expert on climate change. Elon, smart people spend their lives studying data. Just because you have money does not mean your opinion should supersede that of true experts.
Just another far-right rich guy trying to rewrite the science of global warming to suit himself. These people always think they know more than the scientists. This is what happens when we start believing the "we've had enough of experts" propaganda.
If elon is such an expert on fire prevention, why did he have 4 separate fires break out in his fremont, CA factory? If he's such an expert on water management, why did he discharge untreated hazardous wastewater into the TX sewer system? Might he want deregulation because of EPA fines on tesla? 🤔
Let's talk about all of the hundreds of satellites Elon launches yearly from Southern California and then let's talk about Elon flying everywhere weekly in his private jet.
Well he should know about climate, he's been talking about it for the past decade. But somehow, he's doing a 360, and now only cares about being a maga piece of shit.
Sure.
We should listen to his views on what is like parenting a child that you fundamentally don’t believe exists. Not his views on his child’s lived experience or on what society should “do”, but on what it’s like as a father when he realizes his kids aren’t his property.
He's a charlatan car salesman with an ego. He pretends to be an innovator but he just buys companies and the rights to things. He's a bigoted narcissist who is desperate for relevance and power. Ignore the prick and his propaganda.
Elon would know of course because he is an expert on everything that's happening in the world. Just ask Elon, especially after the ketamine has kicked in.
This is why Musk is really dangerous.
There’s no regard for ordinary people around the globe who are hurt by the climate. Fleeing from deaths, floods, heat, storms.
While he and his elite can escape.
Such claims of Elon just makes himself appear like became a ceo of a science related company, aka, space x, PURELY BY COINCIDENCE, AS HE PROVES EVERYDAY HE IS A 'PURE ILLITERATE' ON CLIMATE CHANGE&GLOBAL WARMING with his 'nothing' done to end coal burning and such, SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO CAUSE IT!
@Elon. Haven't yall heard, Elon is smarter than everyone. He knows everything, he thinks he's smarter than God. 1 Corinthians 1:19: God will frustrate the intelligence of the intelligent. Elon would say, this verse doesn't apply to him, that's Elon.
“eLon mUsk inserted himself into”… almost every where & anything - w/o being asked or invited, seems to be a major pattern & problem.
He seems to be pre mature on being the DICtator of the world thing.
But he is acting like a DIC!
Musk used to say that AI and Climate Change were the most important issues facing the world.
That was when he was hustling EVs and looking for U.S. government handouts by selling carbon credits.
Now he's moved on to suckling at the teat of big oil giants.
Climate change is not responsible for the fires! Here are just the TOP TEN corporations that paid MILLIONS to obstruct climate change policy WORLDWIDE. Blame them! And blame them NOW!
Elon Musk is one of these right-wing extremists who is part of the continued destruction of Planet Earth. A man who doesn't even understand that he too will be affected,
This guy is just freaking genius about everything. Next question why is the NYT even covering this? Why this lunatic over NY many home grown end of the world predictors?
Why does everyone accept this from this Guy?? Even the EU is scared of him?? We, the people must stop using his and Zuckerbergs platforms and form our own reliable platforms. WAKE UP!!
If you believe a guy who can’t even predict and constantly lies about when his cars can self-drive over real scientists, you’re an absolute fucking moron beyond all redemption.
For sure Musk needs to downplay climate change, he bought an US President that is a denier of climate change and strong lobbyist on the oil industry. Fun fact is that Trump may end the governmental subsidies on electric vehicles, something Tesla is built on it its sales.
The man who claims to be a climate change champion whilst promoting crypto, allying with Donald Trump and the GOP, running Space X and denying the impact of climate change on wildfires. He invests in electric to make money, not to save the planet.
Ugg.. Kinda feels this is so one-sided, and the media isn't helping. You don't have to like the man, not at all, but he clearly stated how the Governor and Mayor dropped the ball on this for CA. Why isn't he being spoken about highly this time since he gave all the Starlink satellites?
I remember he wrote the mission thing at the end of each mail he sent to fire 10% of his workforce at Tesla. He seems to purge them routinely every two years or so.
Elon Musk is not a scientist, a science communicator, versed on meteorology or climatology, or even worthy of a paycheck in any industry where he does "work."
Musk, a jagoff of metier and master of none. He gets by on the accomplishment of others and conveniently inserts himself wherever to offer unsolicited opinions on issues he has no real knowledge of. Your paragraph should have started with, But scientists are clear" not Elon.
Parents, make sure your kids don’t grow up thinking they’re the absolute best thing on earth. Love them unconditionally, yes, but wholesome discipline prevents them from becoming the blithely unaware self-important douchelord of the world like Musk.
The development of LLM and AI is using a lot of water. More than you would think. And it's not going to stop. So if anything is to blame for water hydrants not having full capacity, it's silicon valley
It's incomprehensible why people are offering a stage to this run-of-the-mill guy! It is completely uninteresting what he means and thinks. He is not important.
I wish media would stop reporting about every single thing this megalomaniac, putin puppet and far right troll says.
Deprive him of the air (=publicity) he soo needs to thrive.
I can hear trump chortling over the California wildfires. I can’t help but suspect his possible complicity, and maybe that makes me sound like a crazy conspiracy theorist…but I believe that the sociopathic leader and his cult are capable of doing anything.
What does it matter what he thinks? Are you going to ask his opinion on everything? Going to ask him who he wants to win the Super Bowl? What he thinks of Cadberry eggs? Who cares?
Anyone who buys electric cars I please you don't support this moron and his shithole of company, give brands like Volvo or so a chance. Tesla is more unhealthy for this world than any car powered by petrol because the CEO is a narcissistic man who wants to see the world burn LITERALLY #BoycottTesla
Elon needs an empathy firmware upgrade. People are watching, people who may not buy a Tesla unless he shows gratitude. Hell, he needs to contribute $10 billion to fire casualties before I would buy a Tesla.
Now he’s denying science like his conservative freak friends? Yet his business is about making the change for a better Earth and named after NIKOLA TESLA??
If we wanted to know what Elon thinks about on scientific topics, we would go to X and find out. We are not going to X to find out. When Elon says something insightful or important, please let us know.
Who is smarter Trump or Musk? They both know so much about everything but have never done a damn thing to make things better for humanity. Total pieces of shit
Where is musks science degree? He’s just another big mouth fools listen to because they think he will share his money. Outside of buying an election, has he shared? No! He treats his employees like crap with no overtime, low wages, and trues to make them work 2/3 of the day w/ no overtime.
Zuck removed fact checking from Meta, donated $1M to Trump, put Trump supporter Dana White on the Meta Board and explicitly greenlit attacking Jewish people, trans people and gay people on Meta platforms.
I think broad generalizations usually aren't accurate. Look at the track record of an individual source and judge it based on their individual behavior. PBS is a good one. Otherwise, how do you know what is happening?
the BBC is this countries 'official' source. and. they are....just, not really relevant. or truthful. or honest. but they are smartly presented. any other country watching the BBC's output, would go, 'very good. everything seems tidy'.
How many ultra rich people do we have to listen to denying the obvious? When will we realize that their denials are based on their involvement in those industries that are most responsible. Come on people “wise up” they don’t care about us. Never did!
Maybe colonization of Mars is a grift to secure government contracts to expand his wealth. Remember he said in 2010 that it would be ten years. We should have been there by now!

One can hope.
What an idiot
Climate Change
Drought
No Rain
Wildfires
And the finger texting version of it too whatever that’s called.
This is the weapon of choice being used against your children. When will American people do the work? They are their own enemy. I’ve told them for years!! https://open.substack.com/pub/rewdawakening/p/deletemeta?r=4voxwt&utm_medium=ios
Arguably he talked about it because it could sell more of those Chinese EV’s he badges.

What astounds me is, these people have children. Do they ever stop once and think about the world they are leaving them?
BUT IT’S NOT WORKING !!!
It's time to clear the air!

"We were told
we will see
America
come and go.
In a sense
America is dying
from within.
Because they forgot
the rules how to live on earth."
The biggest wildfires in history in the middle of Winter are the result of fireman without penises.
We certainly live in the dumbest time in history.
The lies just fall out of the guys mouth. What a joke!
Who says it's too expensive to transition to renewables?
The Uninhabitable Earth.
An Inconvenient Apocalypse.
Hothouse Earth.
There's plenty of climate facts in there to turn your hair white

NOT VERY SMILEY

They tell people about the bad things the bad man does and it gets attention.
This is why the NYT helped get bad men elected to power.
Doesn't he sell electric cars? Credibility receding quicker than his hairline.
