Why Can’t Elon Musk Play Fair?

That Elon Musk is calling for end of government EV subsidies seems wrong on at least two counts:

Tesla got where it is on the back of huge help from the U.S. government, and

subsidizing a social good (or taxing a social evil) is a proven way to affect society in a positive way.

We’re all impressed with Musk’s accomplishments, but we sure wish he were more focused on decarbonizing the transportation and energy sector and less on making his next $100 billion.

We also wish he could be less blatantly abusive of his employees’ rights.
