Of course now he has lent the Presidency to Musk's advertising department and claimed he is buying a Tesla (although he won't, and he can't drive one anyway - expired licence and security protocols) he is a Born Again EV advocate - as long as the vehicle has a Tesla badge!
I'm just having fun with you Jon, but I do think there is a stunning amount of hypocrisy with a lot of people who talk the talk on green issues but actually have enormous carbon footprints. In this case, clearly Tesla are now no longer the innovative green future, but part of the evil empire.

That buying it from China is glossed over as being better just adds to the hypocrisy in other respects as whatever one's reasons for dialling Musk (many valid!) the idea that you defeat that by boosting China is also head in hands level hypocrisy.
