Elon Musk Shocks Renewable Energy Supporters with This Honest Admission | DM CLIPS | Rubin Report

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks about Elon Musk pushing for more oil and gas production. It must be bad if even even Elon Musk is admitting the weakness of renewable energy and calling for increasing oil and gas output to deal with skyrocketing oil prices, even though this will hurt Tesla. He claims that the Ukraine crisis is an extraordinary event that demands that we respond with extraordinary measures.

[iamfelixthecat]

We shouldn't put our country on forced dependence of other countries for ANYTHING. Energy, medications, food... ANYTHING. Not even countries who are friends.

[joeanne]

This is why political elites hate him. He does what he does to serve the people and not them.

[hooterville]

I dont always agree with Elon Musk but he's a mostly honorable human being.... which separates him from 90% of famous people.

[CC-tezf]

The electric car guy acknowledged the truth… Good for him.

[deniseg]

If only people would tell the truth, we wouldn’t have 1/2 the problems we have in this world today. It’s a real shame

[matthewtieman]

Worse than that: according to Elon, if all cars and trucks went electric, we would need to produce at least TWICE as much electricity as we do now.

[stevenking]

Big fan of Elon, there's something very genuine about him.

[zeigbert]

In Canada despite having abundant oil that can be responsibly extracted our government has done it's best to crush the energy industry.

[iamkesha.]

I’m loving Elon more and more. As the richest man in the world, it’s good to see he is NOT part of the GAGAG (go along to get along gang), kissing up to others. He is representing and showing others that it is okay to stand up alone than to hide among others in the crowd.

[anniesshenanigans]

Honestly it will not hurt Tesla, as many cannot afford them.

[pweddy]

He’s not just selling cars. He’s doing solar roofing as well to directly supply power. And he knows you can’t put up enough solar roofing to fix this.

[michaelthomas]

The man is a genius who made billions by being direct and honest about his products. This is just good sense. Sadly we live in a world where good sense is rare.

[sinnlorna]

Musk has also promoted the desperate need for Nuclear power plants.

[f.d.]

Agree with almost everything here - but one thing is clear: TESLAs aren't "renewable energy cars" per se. And they aren't good for the environment either. We all know that. If you like the design - fine. If you like the Tesla experience - fine. *But don't try to sell the Tesla as a "green" car. It ain't.*

[wirgiukass]

One of the few honest people left in public eye

[canadianwelder]

The problem with electric vehicles is heavy loads, so since trucking keeps our economy going. He's a smart man who is honest enough to tell the truth.

[GRIFF]

Trump:
We need more energy independence - aged well
Covid came from a lab - aged well
Nato isn't spending enough on defense - aged well
Germany was over dependent on Russian gas - aged well

See a trend?!

[mountainmama]

He needs to smack some sense into our PM here in Canada.

[GiGiLuvsKatz]

Well, because he’s intelligent and knows what is needed!
