Last year alone, Elon Musk’s Tesla produced about a million electric cars. The company has reached a market value of billions of dollars. In the meantime, the spokesman for the movement to increase the use of electric vehicles has emphasized increasing the production of mineral oil, rather than making batteries.
In a tweet, Elon Musk wrote, “Even if it sounds bad, we need to increase oil and gas production immediately. Special time demands special action.”
He later retweeted: “Although this will have a detrimental effect on Tesla, a ‘sustainable energy solution’ will not be able to immediately fill the void left by Russia’s oil and biofuels.”
Through this, Musk mentions the global dependence on Russia’s oil pipeline. However, it is clear at this time whether he is planning accordingly or just making fun.
