    Tesla’s troubles with solar in Buffalo were overshadowed by a federal corruption probe into the construction of the factory. Kaloyeros and others, including one of Cuomo’s closest aides, were convicted of rigging the bid process to award the construction contract to a politically connected local contractor. The convictions were subsequently vacated by the U.S. Supreme Court.

    But let’s focus on Elon musk and Tesla, it’s good to see the big oil propaganda has also left Reddit to do useful idiot work for the destruction of the planet.

    How many more hottest days of the year are we okay with and people dying before we admit that big steps like this one are necessary to save people.

    And then the government fucks it up with contractor bullshit like they always do, and suddenly it’s Musks and solars fault.

    C’mon bro, we’re better than this here.

        I don’t give a fuck about Elon musk, dude. But I DO care about progressive technologies that can help save the planet from climate crises and big oil poisoning the planet.

        Those things are far more important to me than whatever musk drama and gossip people like to spread.

        It obfuscates the point when people just get wrapped up in a feverish circle jerk about one man.
