Elon Musk’s latest fortune was built on his Tesla electric vehicles, helped in no small measure by federal tax credits so more people could afford to buy the luxury items. For years, he’s marketed them as a way to help wean the world of oil and stop the imminent “climate change meltdown.” But The Washington Post reports that Musk’s abandonment of left-wing, trendy, virtue-signaling political views not only eventually led him to Donald Trump, but maybe out of the Climate Cult, altogether. And if Musk makes it OK to leave, will more prominent business leaders and cultural trend setters soon follow?
On Episode #138 of The Climate Realism Show, The Heartland Institute’s H. Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will cover that story, as well as some of the “Crazy Climate News of the Week.” Did you know the Chinese Communist Party is sending lots of money to “green energy” groups and support energy groups and universities in the United States? The UK’s obsession with reaching “Net Zero” is putting its military in danger on the battlefield. And you’re not going to want to miss what is perhaps the dumbest question ever asked by an anchor on CNN.
Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET so you can leave your questions and comments for the show in the chat.
This show will be archived in WUWT Climate TV, a collection of over six hundred videos, featuring new interviews and analysis, and covering dozens of media sources discussing, debating and analyzing the latest in climate science, climate politics, and energy policy, including topics concerning temperature, sea level, polar bears, ocean acidification, extreme weather, censorship, wild fires, and more.

I do so hope that Gates short of Tesla stock causes him to lose a lot of money.

Without Musk’s help …. buying and exposing Twitter government sponsored censorship, turning it into a Conservative platform, and donating money to Trump’s election …. Trump may not have been elected. Both Trump and Musk know this. My cynical side says Trump may have his first, and only that I’m aware of, political payback and my other side says Musk is a patriot. We should also be glad that Musk was the one to take advantage of the EV subsidies because someone had to do it. Does anyone think a US corporation like GM, Ford, etc. would have done the same in their name?
This Climate Realism show, which I watch every week, is undoubtedly the best one I have seen…
…probably because you panelists gave a real insight into each of your areas of your expertise!
You really gave an in-depth education on every subject you covered!
…BTW, I always watch it on YouTube and never have a problem with it there. I am unable to watch it live on Fridays.
One day I will watch the show live, so I could leave a comment/question!
