This might be why Bill Gates is invested so heavily into TerraPower.

Bill Gates has a $1B short position on Tesla.

I wouldn't use what Bill Gates is investing in as any indicator of what we should be doing.

Tesla has been on a steady [and IMHO rightful] decline since Jan 3, 2024.

I meant in terms of doing the right thing for the planet

They're not doing that, either... the only reason you would drive a Tesla is performance. The environmental impact of making a full-EV is much more damaging than using a gas engine.

That old oil industry FUD line again? Seriously it seems like a switcy was flipped and now people who claim to care about the environment spout oil industry myths.

The real "oil industry myth" is that of your carbon footprint [1].

I thought it's widely accepted that the Tesla stock price is heavily inflated relative to the company's actual performance and that Elon Musk is increasingly considered a liability as his vaporware marketing (e.g. the various blatantly misleading claims about the trajectory of FSD capabilities) was a major factor to the stock's growth in the past.
