This proves once again that politics plays a big role everywhere. Electric vehicles and nuclear power are great for humanity and now there is push back because Musk supports it.

    > and now there is push back because Musk supports it.

    Musk is absolutely no factor in this.

Just as an FYI: The interview was conducted with Axel Springer, which owns BILD, Germany's biggest daily newspaper, comparable to the Daily Mail in the lack of quality and journalistic integrity. BILD is trying hard to push against any "liberal" or "left-leaning" party, especially with the upcoming elections. The German far-right AFD party also just met with Musk and has been indorsed by him.

    Ok, but shutting down nuclear plants and becoming even more dependent on Russian oil is insane. If there’s anyone id trust to run nuclear plants safely it’s the Germans.

Per se it's not interesting to hear the bombastic or charged exclamations from any one person. Musk, for example, has neither control or accountability in Germany... so musk's words are just more flotsom in the media sphere.

It interesting to hear what is to be impacted and how and why nuclear can help.

I am looking forward to the reckoning between Musk’s belief that human caused climate change is real and the Republican line that it is a hoax.

    Or even the more immediate question of whether EVs are a good thing...

    But such reckoning requires rational thought, and Musk has demonstrated that he's happy to warp reality to his liking because he's Tony Stark.

    musk offers on a voluntary base competitive products/solutions that help with the climate issues, leftist cant offer solutions that appeal to the republican base, only compulsory "selfsacrifices"
