The first cars were electric. Nobody wanted gasoline cars because they made too much noise and smoke, and the crank could break your arm when you started it.

But batteries had very small capacity back then, so gasoline won.

What I find a bit strange is for someone who promotes an independence tech, I would imagine a more balanced view of a mode of transportation using a form of energy that can be created in a hundred different ways, including in your own home, vs being dependent on a form of energy produced and sold in a very centralized way, and for which many wars have been fought and many bad political compromises have been made. Also the fact that it's not a "treehugger scam" that what comes out of tailpipes is not just CO2 but a host of extremely toxic and carcinogenic particles.

As for Elon, I have neither a great love or animosity towards him. Plus he paid 44 billion for Twitter, he can do whatever the fuck he wants to it!

If he was just in it for the money, he would have joined the vaccine scam business like Gates. I really don't subscribe to the idea that Tesla has become one of the biggest auto makers, because of subsidies. Do the actual products have anything to do with it? Fuck yeah. If that's your take, how much has GM gotten compared to Tesla?...

When did journalism become the most clueless profession of all?
