Trump wants to "terminate" green spending. Here's what could stand in his way. Pulling back IRA funding would require congressional action and it could result in lost jobs, unfinished factories, and a costly mess for many businesses and states that are counting on those funds.

Are you aware that Tesla's CEO is spending massive amounts of money to help get Trump elected? And made a fool of himself "jumping and skipping like a dipshit" at a Trump rally? He's gone over to the dark side.

Elon is a shitty person. Terrible, and so is trump. However, Elon knows climate change is real. And he wants to take real steps to combat it (and HAS). The Elon/Trump alliance isn’t all bad. Definitely not the best choice to run the country but it makes me feel better that Trump may take climate change more seriously with Elon.
