Elon Musk Is Focused On Helping Humanity

Tesla is completely focused on reducing emissions. Our planet is choking on toxic pollution caused by CO2 NOx and other emissions that are linked to heart disease, lung disease, and other health issues. Air pollution has even been linked to Covid-19 deaths. And the main contributor toward air pollution is the global transportation industry–emissions from tailpipes. When you have billions of people on the planet burning gas and diesel just to go to and from points A and B, as well as other places such as the store, vacations, etc., it’s easy to see just how quickly those toxic fumes will fill up the air. “I always invest my own money in the companies that I create. I don’t believe in the whole thing of just using other people’s money. I don’t think that’s right. I’m not going to ask other people to invest in something if I’m not prepared to do so myself.” — Elon Musk With Tesla, Elon Musk and company cofounders set out to eliminate this problem. This was something that many deemed impossible, silly, or just plain insane. Critics lauded Tesla as a mere wannabe automaker that would go bankrupt, would never even sell EVs, and would never mass produce electric vehicles. They would say this for every new vehicle announced: “It’s vaporware. It won’t happen. It doesn’t exist.” — Elon Musk, Now The World’s Wealthiest Person, Is Focused On Helping Humanity
