      Being more environmentally friendly and cheaper? Where is he pulling that from?

      Inventing a new technology from more or less scratch will be way more expensive. And I feel like they’d be comparable environmentally if they are both electric

        Eh I wouldn’t think about it to much, dude is either fucked in the head, gets paid for such opinions or both.

        Edit. If you’re interested in the Thai opposition, this channel has some critical vidos of it.

          He uses his influence to steer industries in the direction he wants. Something that looks stupid, usually means there’s some ulterior motive. Like how Hyperloop was used to hurt high-speed rail because he could sell more cars.

          Twitter, I’m not sure, I’m hoping that was something out of vanity that crashes and burns.

            In the US, for Elon it was probably a smart move.

            But it in Thailand you might as well advocate against the building of a new hospital because what we need is med beds from the movie Elysium!!
