Nick Badalamenti emails:
Crony central planner Musk calls for a carbon tax....at 15:00 min in, he calls for it...and makes a huge series of fallacious statements at the same time.

  2. We're all Libertarians now! Rand Paul, Elon Musk, and now Ret. Gen. Michael Hayden, who would remind us that trespassing on private property keeps us all safe from terror. :-/

  4. He makes more money selling the green credits he earns from tesla by selling them to the big 3 if the tax rate is increased. It makes his credits worth more.

  7. I like Elon and what he does in the private sector, but he seem blind to his hypocrisy. I've heard him use Tragedy of the Commons in his argument. He believe its only fair that people who contribute to damaging the environment should pay more taxes. Shouldn't that include spacex and tesla motors as well? Both these companies do more damage to the environment than any business he want carbon taxes put on

  9. Ridiculous amount of hate towards Elon, the dude doesn't care about your money. He made a shit ton of it from PayPal without any government involvement and basically blew more than all of it on SpaceX and Tesla because he is sincere in their missions. Government will be giving subsidies to other electric car companies no matter who it is because we need to accelerate the switch to all electric transport. Be glad it is Elon's company and not someone else.
