I have countless sources for tracking and following cleantech news. Every day, I go through numerous feeds and websites and news alerts to try to find out what’s happening and spot the biggest stories to cover. I very seldom see anything notable cleantech-wise from Tesla or other Elon Musk companies these days. So, yesterday, I decided to go through two weeks of stories from a big Elon Musk superfan site. I figured I must be missing stuff and this is where I’d definitely find it.
Well … it seems there’s been almost no cleantech-related news from Musk Enterprises in recent weeks (or months). There’s tons of stuff about SpaceX, Starlink, Elon Musk companies getting contracts from the Department of War, and Elon Musk massively funding Republican political campaigns. Oligarchs gonna oligarch … and profit from war.
Frankly, considering that Tesla used to be 100% focused on accelerating the transition to clean, sustainable energy, and Elon Musk used to be pouring his time into Tesla, it’s massively disappointing to see how things have changed. Even further, there’s strong suspicion Musk is weighing heavily on the side of oil/fossil fuels (beyond supporting anti–clean energy Republican politicians). And there may be some odd business behind all of this.
’ And what does he do? He goes and hits the diesel fuel. ” Now, big news today is that Ukraine’s Starlink connections are not working so well, interfering with missions, and Ukrainian officials and their allies think this comes from SpaceX and the US retaliating for Ukraine hitting Russian oil refineries.
