IMHO, probably not; musk seems interested in his own finances, and on pitting people against minorities so that they don’t see him stealing from them.

    I’ve heard this called “soft climate denial”, and unforntuately it’s widespread.

    People like Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi say that they believe in climate change. But let’s imagine that we’re roommates and you told me that there’s an out of control wildfire a few miles away and the governor has told us all to evacuate. One roommate says that they don’t belive it and they’re staying. And I say ‘Shame on you for denying this! I firmly believe in the wildfire. It’s urgent that we act now, which is why I’ve ordered travel maps on Amazon so we can begin plotting our evacuation route as soon as they arrive.’

    Would you characterize this is accepting the crisis, or being in a state of soft denial?
